@coskigirl thank you for the update, perspectives, pictures and stories.
It seems cheap to talk about how scary the wind and dry has been before the last big storm when nothing has happened locally, but the scars of a decade ago are still here and fuels to our southwest are critical. We’ve had how many red flag days so far, 50+?
The 18” of snow we got 10 days ago, followed by rain and cold temps and a slow melt into the ground, have been salvation (with no actual fire, damage, or loss just a repeated sigh of relief). I want it to be warm, but it’s 40° and raining and that’s another bridge to the monsoon.
Anyway, you can’t follow a post like that so I’ll do it and say we bought Epic passes for the first time and will ski CB and Monarch next year and maybe Keystone and Breck for the first time at some point.
