The Real Nick Sweeney Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Trip: Silver Star Mountain - Silver Star GlacierTrip Date: 05/19/2018Trip Report: Current conditions on Silver Star Mountain are pretty good for Skiing. Unfortunately, I booted my way up SS Glacier on 5/19 via Silver Star Creek! It was a lot of work in bad conditions. Snow coverage became consistent around 5000 feet.

JasonG Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 D'oh! Thanks for the report, and glad you made it happen despite the suffering. I think with the new site you could just cut and paste the content directly from your blog @The Real Nick Sweeney? You know, for those too lazy to follow your link....Thanks for considering it! Oh, and you saw the views on Sunday. I was going to ask about that. Ouch, that makes it even more painful. In the future, I've found the UW model to be the best predictor of clouds and rain coverage, esp. 24-48 hours out. I use the 4km loops for 1 hr. precip and Column integrated cloud water. It was spot on this past weekend. Quote
JasonG Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Oh, and how much snow around Goat Peak still? Heading over with my family on Friday.... Quote
JBo6 Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Driving down 20 coming into Mazama I did not see any on the main body of Goat, a smidge on the hill to the north of Goat Peak. Quote
