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.
ya i remember it was the same last year. i paid a lot that money for a white pass season pass, i want snooooow. im hoping we get some soon. where do u board at mostly NW?
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. :thumbsup:
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.
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 about the whole Western US is in a bowl of suck right now. January dry spell. Looks like around 23-25th we could get a positive flow again. Hopefully it comes back and sticks around until June.
whining about the lack of fresh snow after the record December we just had here in washington is a sad.. some parts of the nation are barely open.
I need some R&R before the next storm cycles show up in February.. this is a good thing!! :thumbsup:
One of our more main runs at my local resort is sill opening in 2 weeks, and that's just what is predicted! You know the snow is garbage when one of the main runs isn't open until Feburary!:thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:
Well I heard you guys had a great December, we did too down here in Utah.
But it is one of the weirdest Januarys I've seen. Single digit temps in the city, low 30's in the mountains, the storms we did get in Jan we had double the snow in the city than we did in the mountains....:icon_scratch:
But it's been one dry month, January is usually a wild card over here, at least november and december were killer, and I'm sure February/March/April will show us what they're made of...which is usually the sky puking non-stop.
Yeah, here in the lower mainland (Vancouver BC area) it's been very unusual. On balance it's been a better than average season -- we got so much snow in December, and such good weather that it makes up for a questionable January. Actually this January hasn't been that much worse than normal. This temperature inversion hasn't been as drastic for us as expected, i.e. it's not a heat wave on the mountain, just above freezing.
What's interesting to me is that I never paid much attention to this stuff before I started snowboarding (I hated winter too). I think this is the first big winter temp inversion that I've really noticed.
went today to white pass and it was close to 50 degress if not more. as soon as we hit the town (Naches) about 40 or so min from the lift, it was in the 20s.
Why the hell would you go to skibowl right now?? Timberline's park setup is the best i've ever seen it. It's been sunny warm park laps all week long! Jesus people at least we have a base to ride, quit your whining
Looks like the snow might come back next week. And this January hasn't been as bad as the last couple. I will take the sunny warm temps over inches of rain any day
Anyone been to Crystal/Stevens/Snoqualmie? Is it worth going tomorrow at all?
Based on the weather I would guess it's a waste of a trip, but first-hand reports would be nice. Snow is expected on Wednesday, but I'm not sure if a day of snow is going to repair much.
I was at Snoqualmie on Wednesday. It was about 45 degrees and full sun out. The snow was firm in the morning, softening real nice from about 11 to 4:30, then it got real cold, real fast, and everything froze right up. Soooo, if the weather trend is the same still, which it looks to be, then I would say you're fine if it's during the daytime, but I wouldn't be trying to ride at night right now.
I dont know what pisses me off more, the weather or the god damn weatherman on the news not having a clue and saying "if you're looking for great skiing or boarding, this weekend is the days", why don't you get F'd Tharen Zahn
