Who says no power during spring? Epic day for April 25th. 5 inches new up top and it's dumping more...

On 14 th April 2021

Great morning conditions but slushy and heavy afternoon snow. No lines or crowds. Fun & cool. Sunny and warm high of 61.

Another amazing sunny day at Mission. The grooming was sublime. Even though the base warmed up to 39F, the runs never got slushy and remained carvable.

Powder mon,tues, wed... sunny all day.

Perfect day on the mountain, bluebird day, perfect snow, perfectly groomed runs, no crowds, and no lift lines.

Awesome day. More snow than forecasted. About a foot of softness yesterday and it keeps coming down. It will be good riding this coming weekend.

I told you I would keep coming back

No lift lines. Lots of new snow

Pic taken on 2/27...a couple feet of fresh powder after the winter storm.... best powder/blue bird day since Whistler

3/4 was a beautiful blue bird day

There are double blacks at Dodge Ridge! Change the 0 rating! Been going there for 20+ years. When there is snow, it has always had friendly, quick service.

Clear skies with strong wind on Sat 2/27. The trails have patches of icy surfaces due to sun melting the surface snow and cold wind re-freezing the top layer. Likely cause of falls and bruises.

Best day of the season! Sunny skies, no wind, barely any lift lines and plenty of fresh snow off piste. And chair 2 (Wenatchee Express) was running.

Great weather but the runs were icy

Got 7 inches over night. Still some stumps and rocks to hit but overall an amazing day. Lines on CA side were much longer than NV side. Galaxy and Dipper were nearly no-wait and tons of fun to be found in the trees

12inches on top of the recent 4 feet was glorious.

Today was a good day

Snowing hard most of the day. Upper lifts had to shutdown midday. Hopefully better visibility and lower winds tomo!

Perfect condition on 2/16/21 So much powder !

Powder was excellent on the feb 15th, 2021. Snowed the entire day. The mountains peaked out mid morning for awhile then fog set in in the afternoon. Great day snowboarding.

First timer at Homewood today, loved it. Mellow crowd and tons of fresh snow. Quail’s Face goes deep, fresh tracks everywhere. Hoping for a few more powder days at Homewood this season.

Very windy, very low visability, only two lifts open one of which is a beginner lift.

Diamond Peak had great weather and groomed runs on 2/6 and 2/7.

Nice Sunday ride, lots of people but not crazy. Snow was well groomed, gripy and not too thin. No extra layer needed, just sunscreen. Felt like it almost 60 degrees today.

Friday’s 30-minute lift line at chair 6. Saturday is going to be even more crowded. Many people not taking mask wearing seriously. You’ll be elbow-to-elbow with exposed noses and exposed mouths.

Epic day at Homewood, 2 feet of powder throughout the trees.

Best day at Bear I've ever had.

It turns out that it is possible to have too much powder. 3 feet+ on top. Find a track out or you’re getting buried. Thanks for a great day Homewood!

Awesome tree skiing today. Empty with lots of fun lines down Hobbit Land

Nice powder, 12 inches or so. Maden chair down which is a bummer so parking is rough

Tons of very light powder!! Yeah!

Its getting patchy but we're expecting a few inches tonight with a foot coming Sunday/Monday

A bit iced over

Cloud, no wind day.

Beautifully groomed warm spring like blue bird day. Unexpected for January

Warm and crunchy.

huge lines today. hour wait for gondola the another hour wait. go somewhere else if you can!!

First time up this year. New snow hopefully I get some sunshine. Came up early with my youngest son that’s working this season..

Groomed packed snow, fresh among trees. Clear.

Groomed snow, but fresh found through the trees.

Conditions are good. A bit windy today though

Lee Canyon 12/28/2020 @21° Sledding on mountain side

Snowing, nice powder

Had a nice day at the 'wood 12/28. Getting tickets for pickup wasn't too complicated, and grabbing a few hot cocoas for the kids was contactless and socially distanced. In the Covid era Apres is a little different but we were there to slide down the hills. Snow was packed powder with a light dusting on top and made for nice riding. Terrain was a bit limited as the top still had quite a bit of uncovered rock, the backside was closed and no terrain parks were open yet. All in all it was a nice day. My kids mostly hung out on the Solitude lift and had fun.

Love the backsid
