JosephH Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) NOAA La Nina forecast - good for you alpine types, sucks for rock however. The lower image is the pertinent one... Edited September 30, 2007 by JosephH Quote
G-spotter Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 I see the "dry" blob starts at J Tree Quote
AlpineK Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 It looks like the ideal forecast to me. Hey Joseph get a pair of skis or go south and stay there. Quote
Bug Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 I see the "dry" blob starts at J Tree More like Tuscon. Mt Lemmon is great tho. Quote
Frikadeller Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 It looks like the ideal forecast to me. I was sitting here, thinking the same thing. Quote
kevbone Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 I just heard on the radio it is supposed to rain all of October. Interesting. Quote
ivan Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 I just heard on the radio it is supposed to rain all of October. Interesting. shit, if'n'it do that the month after we could maybe write a song about it? but someone's gonna need a really big fucking snake if we'll be making a music vid-e-o for it too - and stupid hats - and victoria secret whores who mentally abuse us!

G-spotter Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Freshiez! whistler is supposed to get 30-40cms over the next few days. Quote
JayB Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 But will the snowpack on the East suck any less than last year. This is the question... Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 But will the snowpack on the East suck any less than last year. This is the question... "this is the question"... for you maybe... :-) Quote
Off_White Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Hard to tell from that chart Jay, but it does seem to suggest that you'll be getting a little more of the polar jet stream, so here's hoping you get a decent winter to help tide you over until you can come home. Quote
JosephH Posted October 1, 2007 Author Posted October 1, 2007 Will be in Albequerque on and off all winter working so I guess I'll be shifting my climbing to the Sandia Mtns for the time being... Quote
Greta Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Will be in Albequerque on and off all winter working so I guess I'll be shifting my climbing to the Sandia Mtns for the time being... Youd better learn how to spell Albuquerque then And hey, theyve got skiing on the lee side of that there crest. Check it out! Quote
plexus Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 I was just about to say that. I remember visiting my dad down there when I was a kid and going rock climbing on a Friday and going skiing and getting sunburnt on Saturday. Quote
JosephH Posted October 2, 2007 Author Posted October 2, 2007 They should just shorten it to Albe and call it good - or Albuquerky. Next week the Sandias, Red Rocks two weeks after that... Quote
murraysovereign Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) But will the snowpack on the East suck any less than last year. This is the question... Well, if it doesn't, and if you and the wife decide to hit Whistler again, there's a spare room at my place you're welcome to use. Edited October 2, 2007 by murraysovereign Quote
JayB Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 I'm off to knock off a 7-11 and donate some plasma to fund the excursion as we speak... If want, privation, or any other misfortune should compel you to visit Boston at any point before next July, we'll gladly reciprocate. Seriously though - we're contemplating a return to Squistler for the annual get-away in early March, so we'll be in touch if it pans out. Quote
gertlush Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Luvly jubly, if it keeps hosing down like it is in Squish right now then I'll be skiing this weekend! Quote
cj001f Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 If by East you mean the Alps, they've had snow already 50cm of freshiez on the Stubai after the last storm Quote
Off_White Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 La Nina isn't doom, really wet and really warm is doom. Quote
Crillz Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Locals call it the 'Burque. Spoken as Burrrr-Kay. The ski area is Sandia Peak Ski area and, in short, sucks. I've never climbed in the Sandias, but now that I don't live there, I'd like to go back and climb there a bit (probably just for a bit though). Quote
AlpineK Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 I've never climbed in the Sandias either, but I hear they're good. Any true northwesterner would love the wet cold and snow. If you don't like upcoming weather get out and stay out Joseph. Quote
JosephH Posted October 3, 2007 Author Posted October 3, 2007 I am definitely not a "Nothwesterner" and I'd have been gone a long time ago if we could move my stepdaughter out-of-state. Quote
hafilax Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Will be in Albequerque on and off all winter working so I guess I'll be shifting my climbing to the Sandia Mtns for the time being... Is that where Bugs always makes the wrong turn? I spent some time in Los Alamos and saw some climbing there between White Rock and LA. Placing gear looked a little sketchy but the bolted routes looked pretty good. I hear Taos is a good resort but they're still in the Dark Ages and don't allow snowboards (unless you fool them with a split board). I'm looking forward to some snow. Quote
billcoe Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) If you don't like upcoming weather get out and stay out Joseph. I don't know you Feck, but that post makes you out to be a bit of a rude bastard which you just confirmed via PM. Joseph, when the winter hits and people up here are praying for the endless 36 degree rains to stop, post a TR of some warm Sandia or other New Mexican climbs will ya. Keep the stoke alive. Best part of Albuquerque is the plentiful Turquoise and Peyote Buds. Good memories. Edited October 8, 2007 by billcoe Quote
