telemarker Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I knew it. My cynicism about "winter" (of course, technically it isn't winter yet)thus far is bearing true. High Pressure is dominating. I originally predicted no snow till Christmas. But now I'm revising it and saying we'll be lucky if we're making turns in WA by January. Freezing level 11,000 feet?! And don't give me any crap about there being skiing on the Muir bunnyhill. I'm talking about real terrain and about the deep stuff WA used to be known for, right outside your car door. Welcome to Winter in the 21st century. Oh, and careful, the sky is falling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracked Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 He's a genius! Hey Telemarker, what's the weather going to be like this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PONCHO&LEFTY Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I'm talking about real terrain and about the deep stuff WA used to be known for, You mean like last winter or 98-99. Enough with the panic and complaning about this years snowpack. I Remember last May 1st when it was snowing a little in Bellingham. Was that a 21st century spring?

telemarker Posted February 5, 2003 Author Share Posted February 5, 2003 The weather this weekend? Perfect for climbing my friend. As for this winter, forgetaboutit. Come September/October, there's going to be a lot of complaining about snowpack. Any precip we get from here on out will be warm and followed by rain, just as it has been all winter. Who cares, right? It's all a big cycle anyway. Get a few descents on the volcanos next month, enjoy the sun, and start climbing. Snow will be suncupped by end of April, stumps and rock showing. It's all good. Anyone interested in skiing Mt. Baker next month? Easton Gl.? North side route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanr Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 The good: trailheads will be approachable by car a lot earlier than normal. The bad: kickstepping over usually snow covered brush and talus in the spring isn't going to be so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
