aaaaahahahahaha

the WB alpine forecast for sat/sun - 55-76cm of snow... aaaaahahahahaha.

sugarbush has 2 of 16 lifts open and 3 of 111 trails open :( boo. come on. 9 more days to make snow and wait for snow :P there's that saying "pray for rain"....... "pray for powder"

i thought it was sorta interesting/weird reading the avalanche condition/advisory (excerpt from wb.com):

A total of 24cm of snow fell between Sunday and Monday nights. Easy shears were observed at the interface of the storm snow with an underlying layer of well preserved stellar crystals. At treeline and below, a layer of surface hoar to 6mm in size can be found at the storm snow interface in some isolated areas where it was not destroyed by the mild temperatures on Sunday. In exposed alpine terrain the slab was quite wind affected, but it softened as you drop down in elevation. Below treeline the snow that fell at the beginning of the storm was moist and has since formed a weak crust. Deeper in the snowpack we are still finding some moderate to hard shears at differing density interfaces, but these shears are not consistent in all locations. The snowpack is extremely variable due to the strong winds and fluctuating freezing levels that accompanied the November storms. Some terrain remains scoured and rocky while other areas have up to 300 cm of snow.
