SnowCamitis

The Surgeon General and Select economists have cited a link between Internet webcams and a seasonal drop in office worker productivity!

As a regular working stiff and occasional backcountry denizen I know that when the snow starts flying I've got one eye on the NWAC weather/avi forecast and one eye on the myriad webcams to try and pinpoint the best options. Being able to check the web at 6:00 AM and see 10" of fresh has led to many "wellness" days off. I'm just curious if anyone else out there suffers from this condition.

What are your favorite snowcams and weather/avi forecasts?

I like this page. Every ski resoort web cam is one click away:

or the wsdot mountain pass site:

I failed to mention my favorite site www.nwac.noaa.gov which as most of you probably know has great Northwest Avalanche and weather info. Those guys do a great job and deserve every penny of the funding they've had to fight so hard for. I recently noted the NWAC now has all kinds of additional links to resort and DOT webcams as well as other useful resources.

While another cc.com thread discussed reading climbing guides for enjoyment, I find following the winter weather equally fascinating.
