I'm going with a bunch of friends this saturay. Most likely Sierra, but small chance we might hit up North Star 
I'm still worried this mixed snow and rain would make for an icy slope...

Bought 4 inches has fallen so far and the levels are gonna drop tonight and give another few inches. So figure about 7-8 inches over the top of the ice. Groomers will be bomb tomorrow. Suppose to snow on and off deep in to next week. Sat should be the best bet for tree runs as I'd guess they'll be more like a foot and a half over the ice.
Sunday should rip too.
I'd try to get next wed off if I was you guys. Wish I could. Wed should be solid just about everywhere. Couple feet built up in the secret spots and a few inches over the chopped up pow.

Snow Inbound Later This Week!!!
With snow showers predicted for this Thu, Fri & Sat... Sunday the 8th appears to be the bluebird day!!! 
I won't be able to ride til Mon the 9th as I cross my fingers that I can manage to sneak up to Sierra for a day trip!
But the good news just keeps on coming...
...so Prez's Holiday on Monday the 16th should be b0nkerz out there! Definitely gonna keep my finger on the pulse to hit some of that pow pow sometime that week. Let's hope they're right about more freshies during "Ski Week."

We look busy with more storms as the west remains unsettled through mid February, this time with a possibly more zonal flow across the Pacific, allowing for a long fetch of moisture causing some possible heavy snow.

Alright... you guys know who you are. It's that time again.
Best weekend is looking like the last weekend of Feb. Weekend of 28-1.
So throw a couple weekends out there that work out for you guys. I'll check the cabin calendar and come back.
I'd like to narrow it down to 2. Try to time a storm. Get some good snow and I'd like to stretch it into a 3 or 4 day.
I think the weekend of march 14 is the only 100% no so far. Might be one or two others.
So...
Feb 28-Mar 1 weekend....
