Best Season to the Worst Season
Last year was the best season I have seen in Tahoe. This year = the worst. We actually had more snow in August than we do now.
I have taken my camera out a total of zero times so no video yet this year. I got bored last night and put together a new edit of some old footage, reminiscing of the good old days when it snowed.
Enjoy

Awesome video! Last year was one for the books, and so is this one. I'll go ahead and apologize for the minimal snow. My dad and I spent all summer working on our cabin (read: shack) at Donner to give it a face lift for this ski season. Also bought a Squaw pass in June to go with my Rose pass. Also got new skis (still working on building a pair). Also got shovel/beacon/probe to venture to new terrain I haven't skied.
So to counteract that Murphy, I've been doing things like washing my truck and building a shed...

It's pretty sad that my home mountain - which isn't known for getting tons of snow - has the #4 deepest base in the US right now, according to this:

Even if we've got crappy snow, I can't complain, since some of you guys don't even have that Here's hoping for a strong late winter!

Hey we're #13.
Got up yesterday for a few laps. (Fernie alpine resort)
Found some not bad snow in the north facing trees.
There is zero snow in town. My lawn is bare.
Last year started out kinda like this here but we ended up with over 10m.
Still kinda average. Just haven't really gotten any new for quite a while.
This is the automated snow pillow data from the river forecast site on the ridge across from the ski hill (1966m)
The same ridge Fernie wilderness cat skiing uses.
Gotta give em a plug as I get up there 2 or 3 times a year

You don't even have a legit signature, nothing to reveal who you are and what you do...
Best of luck to you. (uneva)
