Skied No Name/South Peak north side on Sunday the 27th. 12 inches of nice settled powder, lots of surface sluff, otherwise very stable, No slides in area, I would say an 8 foot base at the lakes, alot of stuff skiable I haven't seen there before. Of for you bro brahs, Virginia Peak looks exceptional at the moment.

Road is not plowed, suggest a snowmobile or go elsewhere til spring. the eastside is flocked right now, most snow since 93!

VA Lakes road is plowed which makes it pretty easy to get up high for some decent snow pack, but Saturday toured around through every exposure imaginable on a powder quest only to find inconsistent conditions almost everywhere--some sections of north facing windboard could be fun, there is probably a 30 minute corn window most days on south faces but...this ain't last year. Still fun to be sliding on snow, good touring rather than descent focused fun.

tdubb, thanks for the report! Hopefully March and April will fix things up down there a lot. If not, I always agree that just about any snow is good snow.

I'm stoked this thread I started in 2003 is still alive! Also hard to believe VA Lakes had an 8 foot base in January of that year.

road was still plowed on friday. coverage looks grim from the road. we went back towards excelsior and it got much better. great tour with corn and powder turns and calm winds until about 5pm.

everything we saw driving south to lone pine looked very meager unless you can get a high start.
