That reminds me of a spot under Ch 6 at baker where I've seen similar things happen.

Yup-hero time till it’s not. After 50 years (started at Baker and Stevens), I’m still trying to figure out the decision making process of the folks who decide “picking” their way through a bony cliff in early season is a good idea. I mean if your knees, back, and cred level justify bombing it in one shot, by all means, hit it under the chair. But if not, it’s like drunk kissing your new wife’s grandmother on the lips at your wedding with everyone watching.
I bet it was beautiful up there yesterday. It was text book winter steelheading conditions down below. This was before the snow got heavy
Absolutely picturesque….I can only guess how pretty it was up there
Today, not so much….there have been some pretty good gusts at my house so I’m guessing you’re getting pummeled.

Yesterday woke up to 14” of heavy snow. Hoping to beat the rain left early to skin up the mountain. Weather got wetter and wetter as I progressed until the ice pellets and 40mph winds stopped me from making the summit. Had one beautiful run down through some creamy mashed potatoes before it all turned to rain. Lifts ended up not opening for another two hours due to wind so I chilled at home watching the rain. Nice base building storm that should set up like spackle with the freezing temps while I’m traveling to deal with family stuff.
Got up on MLK day. Sunny but cold. Groomers were fast. just a few pockets of soft stuff left untracked.
Lots of snow coming down up there the next 24 hours. But then the snow levels look to jump way up. Some freezing rain in there as well. Could be a messy stretch for local ski areas.

Interior norcal has been stuck in a crummy pattern so far. Drought or high snow levels. It is skiable-we have enough, but certainly not ideal. Have had some fun days tho

After Covid, a double ear infection, and a sinus infection that lasted 3 weeks (unfortunately those 3 weeks were through Christmas break and new years), we were finally able to get up. I got my oldest a seasons pass and he has been a few times with buddies, but this was our first time as a family this year. No seasons passes for me and my middle son, as I coach his basketball team and it takes up a lot of weekend days. Anyways, kids were out of school this past Tuesday, and it was a good one! I rode with my middle son most of the day, while my oldest met up with buddies and took off after 1st lunch. My middle son needed 2nd lunch, haha!
I love a two lunch day. Means something good happened.
Making lifelong memories. You’ll all be remembering days like that one forever!
I got a Pow Surfer for my birthday last year. Yesterday's graupel/sleet/rain/snow event in interior norcal made everything else meh, but the pow surfing was amazing! I took turns with my 12 year old son and his buddy, and tracked up a hillside. So. much. fun. on a day that woulda been a miserable Nordic Ski, or an indoor day. The snow was creamy grits and a little sticky- perfect for pow surfing. I am 100% skier, but grew up skateboarding and surfing so the stance and motions make sense. If you have a chance, give one a try!
