SNOW IN THE SIERRA!!!
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
_ I don't know what it is this year, but even getting out and dragging my skis across the rocks was more fun than I've had in months. _ Sunday morning I headed up I80 to Castle Peak and there was about 6-10 inches of light dry snow on zero base. Boreal was open. I put in a few miles out to the Peter Grubb hut and around the valley. Not even the secret powder spots were skiable so it was all mostly shuffling, but I did find a new secret spot, just needs about another two feet of snow. I probably could have found something skiable up on the ridge, but it was storming pretty hard so I stayed in the trees. I hit rocks everywhere... _ I was snowing pretty hard when I left around 1pm, a very cold storm, with dry light snow. Very un-Sierra like, the snow level was pretty high. It was only really snowing hard on the crest. The jet stream is looking pretty good at least for a couple days, but a serious pasting is needed to get skiable conditions. _ Booker C.
