The best storm of the season so far, by far.
6″ of new snow last night at the Lodge with more above.
It is nice to see it white, cold and feel like winter after what seems like a never ending Indian Summer through the fall.
We accessed the top of Conrad Creek by snowcat today for the first time of the season with a 2-3 foot base at 9,700 feet, in the lowest canyon in the range that typically receives some of the least snowfall.
Below 8,500 feet it is still very thin from the rain events we had in December and lack of snowfall.
Generally around a foot of snow at 7500-8000 feet.
The aircraft has arrived, guides come in tonight for our first day of training tomorrow.
A storm is forecasted to impact the area on Wednesday/ Thursday before high pressure builds next week.
We will know a lot more in the coming days.
Let it snow.
