@liftblog If the tower arms hadn’t been so cross maybe they wouldn’t have fallen. Temper temper.

@StormSkiJournal I was surprised that CA and UT were so close (I would have guessed a wider gap)….then I remebered where the NV / CA state line is. I wonder which side they count Heavenly’s numbers on?

16 states topped 1M skier visits in 23/24: CO: 14.3M CA: 7M UT: 6.7M VT: 4.2M NY: 3.3M NH: 2.4M PA/NJ (report together): 2.4M WA: 2.1M MT: 1.9M ID: 1.8M OR: 1.7M MI: 1.6M ME: 1.3M WI: 1.2M MN: 1.1M WY: 1.1M

@WasatchSnow The joy of seeing PCMR twitter alerts that lifts and summer activities are going on hold for rain and lightning……

@BestForBritain I thought Trump is speaking on Thursday night of the convention? Oh….you mean the other King. (Sorry, just so depressing over here in the US)

@QuietRiotPod really is good add into your podcast rotation if you want to try and understand what is going on with politics in the UK (as they start to come out of the Tory era). Trying to refrain from making the obvious Era/Errors joke.

@papercutsshow @msmirandasawyer @JasonHazeley @JonnElledge I have a long drive across the US Southwestern desert today and Miranda‘s infectious laugh, and John and Jason’s wit will be the perfect companions for the boring middle bits. Hope you guys actually get some sleep eventually….

@OhGodWhatNowPod @Nndroid @zoe_grunewald @JonnElledge @jacobjarv Serious question - can you guys form some sort of international progressive media alliance to help orher countries? Like International Rescue in the Thunderbirds, but with slighlty less space stations.

Hello! We're still here!! With @Nndroid, @zoe_grunewald, @JonnElledge and @jacobjarv - it isn't too late to tune in: youtube.com/watch?v=tJ5pLa…

@adamhersly @PCMtnAlert @PCski Are you guys still on there?

The Red Pine Gondola is on HOLD for Maintenance @PCski

@OpenSnow I like what you are trying to do but not sure you have it right - especially the font coloring. Example: Woodward showing mostly Orange and Blue 5-10 days out, but the text is Purple. Also the contrast of blue and purple isn’t the easiest to read. But that may just be me.

We recently added purple to our snowfall charts to signal the chance for mixed precipitation (snow/rain) in the forecast. opensnow.com/news/post/new-…

@ozskier @JoannaStern @skicamelback If you aren’t charging your Apple Vision Pro in your Cybertruck - are you even skiing? (The fact I’m yet to see either at PCMR I’m taking as proof of life that same sanity still exists in this world)

Hahaha. @JoannaStern took Apple Vision Pro skiing at @skicamelback. youtu.be/8xI10SFgzQ8?si…

@WasatchSnow I asked AI what it thoughat Park City resort would look on MLK weekend with heavy snow. Not going to lie - empty hchairs would be great. Though I prefer my chairs attached to the cables…

I really want to know what AI thought the story behind this was. I’m guessing a truck that got stuck years ago and they just decided it was easier to turn it into a house….?

@9thand9thwhale - so any truth this was you? kcra.com/amp/article/uc…

@OpenSnow And with that the 2024 productivity season comes to an end. Good night (*energetic music plays with screenshots of the 3 or 4 work zoom calls I actually got on*). See you all next year!

NEW: Live Snow (Experimental) Track hourly snowfall from thousands of weather stations across the US and Canada. opensnow.com/news/post/new-…

@WasatchSnow I love that The Whale is a label on that map.

Snowing in LCC with several inches so far. A few more hours of this. Flow may be a touch too northerly for optimal enhancement, but still good through the afternoon.

I would like to formally nominate “OpenSnow Orange” as the @pantone color of the year next season. It brings absolute joy to anyone who loves snow. @OpenSnow @WasatchSnow @TahoeWeather - I assume that would be good with you all?

@WasatchSnow Plus side NASA space weather report is green across rhe board. So…you know…..at least we srill have an ionosphere to not ski under. swpc.noaa.gov

@9thand9thwhale Awesome. You the man!…..ahh sorry I mean whale….and I gendered you. Sorry. It’s just so hard without snow, you know? So are the other whales in your immediate pod - or is it some sort of global whale secret society.

@StateEpidemi I’m so working on it! I’m talking among the Whales. Snow will be had.

My therapist told me to come back here. Mental health is a struggle. The Whale wants you to know that your mental health is important and it matters. Check in with your loved ones here and there. Ask your closest friend to go on a 3,500 krill haul in the Pacific. You are loved.

@9thand9thwhale You are also loved. So….ahhhh….any chance you can work some whale snow magic this year for my mental health?

Not just 3,500 krill. 3 thousand 5 hundred kilometers! One way. Uphill.

@skiguy14 @TahoeWeather To be fair- they all aged about 20 years on average last season so this is their pension.

@TahoeWeather My snowplow guy is loving life so far this winter.

So far this season we've seen well below average precipitation & snowfall. I wish I had better news, but still not seeing any big storms on the horizon, and the long-range model forecasts for the next 2 and 4 weeks suggest that the below-average precipitation pattern continues.

@TahoeWeather On the plus side - there are no sandstorms projected, no plague of frogs reported, oceanic tidal waves remain unlikely, and South Lake Tahoe remains in USDA hardness zones Zones 6b, 7a, and 7b. Plant em if you’ve got em boys….
