I don't know what it is about January in WA, but it has been this way the last few years. Early season goes off and builds a great base, then January rolls in and is a barren wasteland. Then along comes February, and BOOM! Shit goes off until May. In other words, January in WA blows absolute chunks for snow sports enthusiasts.

Ive been thinking the same about hood, got 7 inches last week then this week it has been in the mid 40's. But it has snowed in portland twice this week.

Tell me about it. Trip booked to Seattle. Snow the week before. Probably snow the week after. None during my trip.

Double edge sword. I can get to the resorts without worrying about AWD and chains. But no new snow. Oh well, I'll have a blast.

Believe me, I want it too. As for where I'm mostly at, Snoqualmie Pass and Alpental. It's where I have my pass and instruct. I'll ride any of the resorts in WA though if I have the money for gas and a lift ticket.

Daughter said that a temp inversion was going on up on the hill....thus spring soft serve. Which can be darn nice...sunny, soft, t-shirts in Jan...not particulairly bad.

Honesty, this inversion is pretty good for BC conditions, killing a lot of the super gnar surface hoar that has been growing on the clear cold nights last week.

Welcome to Juneuary in the PNW. Happens almost every year. Just give it a few weeks, winter will be back with vengeance.

BTW it looks like a possible return of snow next week. But who believes long term forecasts anyway?

Don't feel bad Utah is in inversion hell right now, no snow, air polluted as fuck, freezing down in the city and warm and melting snow in the mountains :-\

just when my legs/feet were starting to feel good, now this big break.

The only good thing is, I've been able to bust out the convertible more this winter, it's just a pain in the ass washing the de-icer off
