White Grass, WV?
Looks like I will be moving from CA to DC next fall.
Just heard about White Grass ski area in WV. When do they usually open in the fall/winter (a dataset of the opening/closing dates for the last ~10 years would be perfect ) and when do they usually close? Having skied in upstate NY for ~6 years, even there good skiing is a bit of a crapshoot... so I was surprised to learn about a XC place in WV. |

Bob Schwartz What an awesome website! Looks like half of their precipitation from Nov 15th to Apr 15th came as rain (in water equivalents?), and last season there were two skiable periods, with a total meltdown in between. Well, this is in Davis, WV (station BKBW2) who knows - there could be local variability. I have saved two graphs to illustrate - one for precipitation and one for snow depth: http://picasaweb.google.com/runcycle...16741469622258 http://picasaweb.google.com/runcycle...16744931107890 |

Another cool web site for more current climate data:
http://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/earth/ That is where you can download climate layers for Google Earth. Move the transparency slider all the way to the left, find your trail, and then remove the transparency to see the climate layer you've chosen. Bob Schwartz |
