Snow Update: January 19

     Looks like we'll be getting anywhere from 3"-6" today on Highway 89.  Homewood Resort will be great tomorrow and Thursday, and friday could be a good one, too.  Another 6" could accumulate by Friday night.  Get those powder skiis waxed up and ready.   Slick the bottom of the Burton Board, goggles, helmet, and pay attention to avalanche warnings, especially if you go off trail.  That tactic is definitely not recommended.  Powder accumulation has hidden hazards for the unwary when off groomed runs.
    Looks like a real winter continues in the Sierra.
