What up with the snow??

[powderglut]

You guys gettin any? We haven't seen a flake in over 2 weeks. Afternoons are hitting 50's. Ski area from the Gondola (mid mt) down is a few manmade strips. "The icy ribbon of death" Snow making temps are about 6-8 hrs. A few weeks ago I thought we wouldn't see the ground until April/May. As of today, all our valleys are completely void of snow. Might need to make a trip up to Montana for some fresh.
:cry1:Wah!:cry1:

Not much of the white stuff here in SLC either. Maybe it'll be another dry year...?

:snowcloud:Yay!! Finally getting some snow!! It sucked watching Targhee and Jackson reap all the storms while we had 50 deg every afternoon. Time to ski more than 3 strips of snow.
Yeah Baby!! :clap:

Was hiking Mt. Olympus today and while near the top it snowed about 5 inches in an hour.

Hopefully we can keep on getting more!

Was at 10,000 ft today on Humphrey's looking down at Snowbowl....:cry1: Kinda sad when you have to look up on the highest mountain on Arizona from the summit of the ski lift to see snow in December

[accadacca]

We need pictures and trip reports! :popcorn:
