Our snowpack has breached 200%! For all you blowholes who are sick of me blubbering on about the whale. Do you honestly think this is a fluke? It arrived Out of the Blue and immediately made a splash. You may bristle at the idea of whale magic, but we are absolutely krilling it.

Why is a northwest flow so good for the cottonwoods? Because it passes moist air over the 9th & 9th snow whale. Upon hitting the whale, the air is infused with magic and rises, cools, condenses, and falls as snow downstream in the canyons. This is called Orcagraphic Lift.

All models continue to show extraordinary amounts of precip in the west, especially California, over the next ten days. This would be significant anytime, but considering what we’ve already seen this season, it really is jaw dropping. In this instance, the hyperbole is warranted.

Twelve days ago, I gave us a 50/50 chance of getting to 800" at Alta by the end of April. We are currently at 780" and it's highly likely we will be there by this time tomorrow. That's the end of March. This effing whale will stop at nothing to make me look like a fool.

Early season you take a lot of bushes to the face because they aren't covered. In record-breaking seasons, you take a lot of giant limbs to the face because you're basically skiing up in the forest canopy. Just my observation.
