2021 First Glimpses of Snow, post here.

Not cheating at all. But does it qualify as earliest opening?

I'm definitely including it in my count of ski days this season.

No snow today but it was 25* this Am, had to put the fire on to heat the house a little.

Did not get any visible snow on the mountains around here (Schweitzer did) this weekend, but it missed a rally good chance.
Indian Summer is going to kick in starting this weekend until it ends. Might be one of the best seasons of the year.

Mt. Rainier - as of September 14 on top and yesterday on the bottom

Not really first snow as lingers on peaks most of year but a bit of fresh on the hike yesterday. Larch Valley near Lake Louise.

Three days ago at my house.. didn't stick yet but it's supposed to snow a couple inches in the next few days and that might stick a little bit.

So what is the cut off between last season and this season then? Was July the start, or continuation?

When does one ski season end and when does the new one begin?

Yes, for some who ski year round like @Stev who is close to being able to count past consecutive months to consecutive decades, it never ends. When do you start counting your days in the new season? If you had 89 days in the 15-16 season, when do you start counting days for the next season?

Ahh, a thread from before my time (joining this forum that is.) I was referring to when I believe @newboots first skied at Big Snow. Now to go back and see if there was any consensus to the question.

I think definitely in July! I’d better
start counting. Oh, my pass will count them for me! Now that they’ve had this fire I don’t know when I’ll be using it again.

was thinking about late season backpacking trip to either the wind river range or big horn mtns but looks like there’s a ton of snow forecast

In ABQ on vacation - took this from the road yesterday, near Santa Fe. Not sure if the snow is on a ski area or not but I think we were looking east at that point. Also have a pic of some bare ski runs that were closer to us and a little south of this pic. Haven’t tried to match this up to a map yet.

 

[Jim McDonald]

bare runs Ski Santa Fe maybe

Mt Rose...

 

[Bill Miles]

Just a trace on the top of Baldy last night. Rained lower down.

Snow visible from my front porch in Layton UT. Looks like about 6000'.

They’re talking snow on CNN for Lake Tahoe. Photos?

We drove thru snow this weekend heading to Breckenridge. This is now at Como, Colorado 9800ft.

My daughter sent me this picture of her car that she took this morning. She's in school at Utah State in Logan.
