Snowing and Spring Skiing 2014

       Early spring snow- a bonus series of storms!  Who knew?  Homewood Resort is shut down but Squaw valley/ Alpine is wide open and ready to capture some spring skiers.   Squaw has received almost 4 feet of fresh powder in the last week and snow is currently falling at the High Camp runs.
     More than 18" of powder is expected by Wednesday.   Today might be an exceptionally good day, with favorable conditions in the afternoon.   Tomorrow will probably be too stormy, with obscure visibility above 7500'.
      Spring break is around the corner and perhaps a few "breakers" will decide to break out their boards and skis and hit the slopes.   Is there one more good ski trip available this winter?  It looks like there is: go for it!
      The drought is not over, but the state outlook has dramatically improved just over the last week.   Apparently, more rain is in the forecast along the entire West Coast.  Seattle does not need any more, as they attempt to continue the search for victims of the massive mudslide in the town of Oso, WA.  There are 30 confirmed deaths and as many still missing.  A very sad story.
