But it can be a long winter...the snow wasn't great until February last year but at least there was some.<br /><br />Skier Jay, you might want to consider the options available at Steven's or Crystal for 4-5 days. We buy our season passes in the spring to save money. Fingers crossed.TVNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13009390667773034005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-84302344703411329532014-11-17T06:59:25.011-08:002014-11-17T06:59:25.011-08:00To Sysiphus, I don't think the long-range fore...To Sysiphus, I don't think the long-range forecasts figured on a super-typhoon transitioning into the Bering Sea and changing weather over most of North America. Weather as opposed to climate, albeit a long-lasting disturbance.<br /><br />Otherwise, the long-range climate models have looked pretty good to me since summer. <br /><br />I'm ready for warm and moist. Cold, clear and dry is all well and good for a bit, just like summer heat, but I'm ready for more typical November weather. <br /><br />John Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271037292493818827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-89654842202378883842014-11-16T22:48:07.326-08:002014-11-16T22:48:07.326-08:00The big question, as always Cliff.....

About 12 Km tracked and packed for skating and classic skiing. Lots of visitors. It might melt away by end of week but will certainly be good Monday and Tuesday.

Normally at this point in November only snowshoes would be acceptable footwear and the mountain would be snow-bound, but as we figured, even the peak had only about an inch or two of snow. <br />Not the best start to the snow season! Let's hope for better in the future.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00948636254416949019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-51810508899850347132014-11-16T10:46:25.921-08:002014-11-16T10:46:25.921-08:00Every long-term forecast I see (6-10, 8-14, monthl...Every long-term forecast I see (6-10, 8-14, monthly) continues to scream warm and wet. It will take a pattern shift of epic proportions to get a lot of snow below 5,000 ft, which is what we need. Still, the long-range forecasts essentially missed the latest cold snap. If precip had played out a little more north, with the cold air damming up against the east side of the Cascade crest, we would be in a very different situation right now.Sysiphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483730910883469883noreply@blogger.com
