Northstar hits 400" mark...

4" in the past 24 hours from the the cold front & storm to our East. That puts Northstar at 400" on the season, 50" over their seasonal average. Norhstar only measures snow that falls from their opening day to closing day, as where as other resorts will measure from the first to last flake that falls whether they are open or not. That will account for part of a lower seasonal average. Now we just need to continue for everyone to have above normal snowfall for the next few years to reverse the drought.

Cold air will remain in place today on the mtn. with temps not breaking freezing on much of it. Tomorrow the ridge begins to move closer & we begin to warm into the 40's, then 50's on friday into the weekend. In town temps will hit the 60's this weekend & get close to 70 by Mon. This will be the first little heat wave of the season, coming in perfect timing right after the resorts close.

Get out & enjoy the last fresh snow today & get out & enjoy great spring skiing this weekend. I'll be posting on the chance for more snow for you spring skiers next week after the wedding. BA

Northstar closes on Sunday, but Squaw is open until May 11. Wish I was there to share in the last minute fun, but I will be back this weekend.

BA,

Personally I would like to thank you for the great weather reporting you did all season. Your breakdown of the weather is easy to understand and I have to say I've learned a few things. Frankly, I think you’ve been more accurate that the NWS this winter. Not Bad for a guy that does this as a hobby! I’ll be looking forward to your reports next winter and congratulations on your upcoming wedding.
