It was passholder day at Snowbird, so it gave me an excuse to venture up LCC to scope out things. I've been glued to the webcams and weather forecasts. While the webcams show some snowmaking going on at Alta, the reality on the ground is pretty damn grim. It's been too warm and we've had no snow due to another "death ridge" of high pressure forming off the California coast and driving storms to the north and south (a "splitting" pattern). This has been a recurrent weather phenomenon in the 14 years we've been out here. Ski forecasters have been predicting the last three weeks that it would end "next week", and consistent with that, we're supposed to get "something" for snow this coming weekend. If you are planning any trips out here, you'd better wait......
