I don’t normally post things from Transworld but good god this is amazing. Scott Stevens slayed Bear, holy shit.
You know it’s pretty funny, I work at this place and yet I have no idea what’s going on over on the other hill. So today I ventured beyond the West Resort and checked up on East. Holy shit. Actually, that’s an understatement. Just look at the pictures after the break. Continue Reading…

Thi system is packing quite a punch with some periods of moderate and heavy rain expected and snow down to 4500 feet in the mountains. Winds will also be gusty as the storm arrives especially in the mountains and deserts. Amounts with this system would be pretty high if it wasn’t moving so quickly. Currently about .35-.75 inches of rain is expected across the area west of the mountains through Saturday afternoon. Locally higher amounts may occur where thunderstorms form as there is a chance across the area, especially behind this front as the core of the low pressure area passes overhead. Snowfall amounts will probably be a bit more significant with 4-8″+ across the area above the 5000 foot level with highest amounts expected at Mt Baldy and Snow Valley due to some good southerly winds with this system creating some orographic lifting. Saturday will clear out slowly but a few showers and even a pop up thunderstorms cant be ruled out through the early afternoon hours. Sunday should overall be nice with some clouds overhead and slight warming. All eyes turn to a series of storms expected next week with the first sometime between early Monday and Tuesday which could have some more heavy rain and mountain snow with it Larger storms are expected late next week but timing is unknown at this point. Overall several inches of rain and several feet of snow may be possible by the time we reach next weekend as our above normal El Nino rain season continues.

So um, Mt. High opened new terrain…very unexpectedly. About 3 days ago, the grooming crew started taking laps off the backside of Inferno Ridge along an access road and patrol cleared it for public use. This area is popular on pow days and it’s even more popular now. Click on through for a pictorial tour of the trail, then go up to the mountain and check it out for yourself. Continue Reading…
