January 17, 2026. Headed North.

We went on an adventure.

Count them, nine runs later we finished the day in the Independence Mountains.

Good skiing in very special terrain with not a soul around for tens of miles, staging out of a local family ranch cow pasture.

True Nevada.

Continued high pressure, good flying weather and a strengthening snowpack, again allowed us to ski several unique features through the day today.

The current weather trend continues for the next several days before a potential pattern shift and change to an active pattern is beginning to be talked about in the weather models and blogs.

See you in the morning for the final day of the first three day tour of year 49.

Sweet dreams.
