Wolf creek

[callmijane]

The snow report said 8". It was a foot and a half most places, and above my knees on one run. They updated the report at 4 pm saying 15".

However. It was an upside-down storm, so a heavy layer of snow on top of nice light stuff, so you just sank down into it. Fat skis or no, you couldn't float.

Does WC get a lot of upside down storms? Seems like anachronism talks about those a lot.

I think maybe they are more likely to since they get storms from the SW, ie warmer than ours up here. When we were there last week, though, it was perfectly right side up. Heavy first, then cold and light.

Not that many, but more than up north, for sure. And yes, the snow last week was perfect.

I am just relieved to hear that you CO divas struggle in the heavy stuff also. I thought it was just a CA thing!

So, Wolfie hit 200" for the season so far yesterday.

I know this thread never really got going, but now that Wolf Creek is on my list of favorites for Colorado, I'll be following weather reports for that region more often. First trip was in Feb. 2020. Got blue sky and not too much powder, but really liked the terrain anyway.

Here's the forecast for Dec. 9-10. I know the current snow coverage is quite low, so hoping for the best. The following week is when I and my ski buddies will be skiing at Wolf Creek.

Looking good for next week at Wolf Creek.

 

[callmijane]

It's gonna be so good! (of course, I'll be on the greens with my kiddo, easing back into skiing :-) )

Wolf Creek is getting enough snow to re-open on Wed. Just got this in an email.

WC seems to have moved to their new website. Although it looks pretty much the same.

Oh my, looks like there will be a second storm when I'm at Wolf Creek! Too soon for the predicted totals to mean too much, but seems pretty clear it will be snowing next week. I reminded Bill to bring my powder skis, which live at his house in NM.

Wolf Creek seems to have finally got their online ticketing working.

Your timing is impeccable!

Love Wolf Creek. I may be headed up in early January.

Your timing is impeccable!

Even better that Jason and I driving to Colorado. So we could do some extra driving today in order to ski starting a day earlier than planned. Bill will meet up with us in South Fork.

Plenty of snowfall last night. A bit more this morning. More coming next week.

Just checked the snow report 100% open for today!!!

A few pics from Dec. 11. Blue sky and frigid in the morning. It was 7 degrees at 8:30am. But pretty comfortable by lunch time.

Little Bank Shot


Only one potty available near Alberta Grill (grill not open)


Plenty of snow going to 4x4 lot

 

[marzNC]

Sunny and warmer today. Far fewer people than Saturday. The 4x4 lot didn't quite fill up.

Upper Feather Duster, shortly after getting off Coyote Park Trail in the early afternoon

Did you bring your powder skis?
