5 feet in a week (JH)

We've had 60" in the past week. The snowpack isn't particularly
homogenous, running coldwarm a couple of times during the storm
cycles. These "upside down" storms have created weak layers that slabs
have been slipping on. Some are pretty deep. Things are starting to
settle down in the southern Tetons, albeit, almost another foot is
forecast for the next 24 hours. Avy control was rough on a few
patrolers. Slides stripped gear off skids. Nobody died.
So all this **** is good news, eh?

Sounds like our snowpack. I lost track of how much snow has fallen
since the 29th. It's pretty much carnage here. Snowboarders and
snowmobilers getting lost every day, snowshoers getting buried and
killed, and big slides ripping out. I've had electricity on and off
since New Years Eve (more off than on), have dug out more cars than I
care to remember, was stuck overnight on my road until the blower came
in, am now unable to get out because another truck is stuck in the
road, plus I was spooked out of the canyon on my ski with the dog on the
safest route there is above the house. So I guess I just have to hole
up a while and hope the power doesn't go out again.

And another 20" coming by noon:

Smells like winter.

meet?

Sounds great!

I'll probably be up at JH for a few days...in February or March.

Let's be safe out there.
