6 Inches of Blower
Skied on Donner Peak this morning. Found about 6 inches of light snow on top of the wind buff from Wednesday. Clear blue sky and no wind, the lower angle terrain skied very well. The entrance to the steep was solid but not ice, once over the roll the pow was loaded to a foot and super fun. There was some slough but no crowns.

It has already turned to corn. Or is it just the rocker?
The powder has quickly turned to 6 inches of corn like substance. Super fast, smooth and very good. Or maybe it is just the rocker built into my skis?

20-24 inches
It dumped at the bowl again, 20 -24 inches that came in fast and left fast, I was told only eight inches on a hard layer at Alpine. Today there is a nasty sun crust from Sunday afternoon happy hour and wind damage from the north and northeast. However, there is great pow in the protect north facing gullies and trees. Dropped on to a few good wind slabs without result. It is forecast-ed to get hot today and Tuesday [...]

15 inches of Sierra Pow
15 inches and very windy. Staying on top riding fast with the big rockered skis, but if you stop the snow is thick and rich. Many slides on the steeper terrain down to the hard layer, definitely enough to trap you.

The temps are in the high forties and the wet snow is about 8 inches deep, it is blowing 80 out of the southwest. At the change over on the ridge above Negro Canyon I had to hold on to my skis with two hands. But the winds have increased the density of the snow and it actually skied surprisingly well. I stayed on top and did not stick or punch through. It might freeze tonight and with a high [...]

Still Dumping 3/1/12
Upwards of four feet of new snow have fallen on the crest. It is very windy with gusts in the 70′s and periods of white out conditions. The powder in the trees is great. In the wind affected areas it is getting a little bumpy. There are huge new wind slabs on upper and mid-elevation lee slopes. Today, most lifts are on hold and visibility is low. It will be interesting to see what kind of natural avalanche cycle we [...]
