Brighton preseason

yea it is man it is still like wet snow but its finally around 34 or so at my house so its like 30 or something up there keep it coming!
 
they said they were gona leave the rails from the rail jam up right? im tryin to head back there tommarow, the set up was alot of fun
 
i think they might leave that stuff up but im not to sure, they might just take it down and we might have to re set it back up, but i will be up there after work.
 
was just at the top of guardsmans this morning, a few more inches over night, powder was quite epic on peak 420. good morning forsure
 
ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE STILL SUGGESTS THAT THE RIDGE WILL HOLD ITSPOSITION THROUGH FRIDAY...BUT A LACK OF CONSENSUS STILL EXISTSREGARDING THE EVENTUAL BREAKDOWN OF THE RIDGE. MODELS ARE NOWHINTING THAT THE RIDGE WILL SLIDE EAST ON SATURDAY...WITH THE GFSSTILL SHOWING A WEAK SPLITTER COMING ACROSS UTAH LATE SATURDAY. THEEC AND GEM HAVE THIS SYSTEM ARRIVING MORE THAN A HALF DAY LATER.GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE RIDGE...WOULD PREFER THE SLOWERSOLUTION...BUT THE GFS HAS BEEN INSISTING ON SOMETHING AKIN TO ITSCURRENT SOLUTION FOR A FEW RUNS NOW. AFTER THE INITIAL WAVE...ASTRONGER SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK...THEGFS AGAIN A BIT FASTER. HAVE JUST GONE WITH NEAR CLIMO POPS FOR THEWEEKEND PENDING A MORE CONSOLIDATED SOLUTION REGARDING THE PATTERNCHANGE.
 
most likely on Saturday or Sunday some sort of storm will move in. Nothing conclusive yet, but it still gets me stoked.
 
Just in time for brighton's opening. By the way, to those who have been up to brighton recently, Is there a good amount of snow up there?
 
have not been up, but base should be looking pretty sparse right now, but not completely melted out, mid mountain (9600') should be at about a 23" snow depth.
 
Good. Hopefully this weekends storm system will make it cold enough so they can make more snow just in time for opening day.
 
STILL QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE PATTERN CHANGE THIS
WEEKEND. THE RIDGE AXIS IS STILL EXPECTED TO SHIFT EAST OF THE AREA
LATE FRIDAY. HOWEVER...MODELS REMAIN INCONSISTENT REGARDING THE
NATURE AND TIMING OF THE DISTURBANCE THAT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA ON
SATURDAY. STILL...IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL REMAIN RATHER WEAK AS IT
MOVES THROUGH THE AREA...POSSIBLY PRODUCING LIGHT PRECIPITATION WITH
SNOW LEVELS ABOVE 7500FT.

A MORE POTENT STORM SYSTEM WILL THEN FOLLOW FOR THE EARLY PART OF
NEXT WEEK. THIS BROAD...SLOW-MOVING TROUGH WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT
ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY...WITH WHAT CURRENTLY
LOOKS LIKE FAVORABLE DYNAMICS TO PRODUCE WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION
ALONG THE BOUNDARY. A COLD AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL THEN KEEP
SHOWERS ONGOING THROUGH TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH. SNOW
LEVELS WILL REACH THE VALLEY FLOORS ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL UTAH
MONDAY NIGHT WITH MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES IN STORE FOR THE AREA.
 
A MORE VIGOROUS TROUGH IS FORECAST TO IMPACT THE STATE MONDAY ANDMONDAY NIGHT. THE GFS IS A LITTLE MORE CONSOLIDATED WITH THISTROUGH...THAN THE EC OR CANADIAN...AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE EASTERNGREAT BASIN. THE EC AND CANADIAN BOTH BEGIN TO SPLIT THE SYSTEM ASIT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. HOWEVER...BOTH THE EC AND GFS INDICATETHAT A REASONABLY STRONG FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH NORTHERN UTAH ONMONDAY. THEY BOTH INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A SOLID SNOW EVENT FORTHE WASATCH MOUNTAINS WITH A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW FOR VALLEYLOCATIONS. THE DEGREE OF SPLITTING WILL BE AN IMPORTANT ITEM TOWATCH IN SUBSEQUENT RUNS AS THE CONSOLIDATED TROUGH IN THE GFSYIELDS MUCH MORE PRODUCTIVE NORTHWEST FLOW FOR THE WASATCH WHILE THEEC AND CANADIAN HAVE MORE POST-FRONTAL NORTHERLY FLOW. ALSO...THESPLITTING SOLUTION MAY NOT BRING AS MUCH DEEP COLD AIR INTO THEEASTERN GREAT BASIN.FINALLY...ANOTHER REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR IS USHERED INTO THESTATE DURING THE MID WEEK TIME AS YET ANOTHER SYSTEM DROPS INTO THEGREAT BASIN FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A VERYWET AND COLD SYSTEM. HAVE INCREASED POPS QUITE A BIT DURING THE MIDWEEK TIME FRAME TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS POTENTIAL. IF EC AND GFS ARESTILL IN DECENT AGREEMENT IN SUBSEQUENT RUNS WILL LIKELY NEED TO BEEVEN MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THIS SYSTEM. LOWERED THE TEMPERATURES ABIT IN THIS TIME FRAME AS WELL...BUT GIVEN THE ENSEMBLE SPREADASSOCIATED WITH THE DEPTH OF THIS SYSTEM TEMPERATURE MODIFICATIONSWERE RELATIVELY MODEST AT THIS TIME.
 
Was up at Brighton yesterday. Still enough snow to jib at the base, but just barely.

Good news though is that more snow is coming all week:

A SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER AND COLDER TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. STEADY COLD ADVECTION IN THE LOW AND MID

LEVELS WILL OCCUR THROUGH THE DAY MONDAY...WITH 700MB TEMPERATURES

REACHING AS LOW AS -12 DEGREES CELSIUS ACROSS FAR NORTHERN UTAH

AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING BY 12Z TUESDAY. HIGH PRECIPITATION RATES ARE

EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY THE COLD FRONT MONDAY MORNING...AND A MOIST

NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL KEEP SNOWFALL GOING ON MANY WASATCH SLOPES

INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE OF LAKE EFFECT

KICKING IN AND INCREASING THE SNOW TOTALS SOUTHEAST OF THE GREAT

SALT LAKE...WITH PERSISTENT NORTHWEST FLOW AND 700MB TEMPERATURES

GENERALLY -10 TO -12 DEGREES CELSIUS BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z TUESDAY.

AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD OF SHORTWAVE RIDGING LATE TUESDAY...A

REINFORCING SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA ON

WEDNESDAY...BRINGING IN EVEN MORE MOISTURE AND COLD AIR. BEYOND

WEDNESDAY...BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE THAT A NORTHWESTERLY

FLOW WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH MUCH OF THE REST OF THE

WEEK. WHILE SOME WARMING MAY OCCUR ACROSS THE AREA ON

FRIDAY...PARTICULARLY IN THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE

STATE...TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY REMAIN AT OR BELOW

CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS HEADING INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

 
Went yesterday and everything was definitely shredable. Some friends and I separated the two butter boxes at the bottom since it was crooked anyways. One of the flat boxes has a huge crater at the landing now and the s rail needs a new spot to be placed. Otherwise everything is pretty good.
 
hmm..i fixed that crater on Friday...this new snow tomorrow is going to completely cover all of the boxes anyway though, so everythign will probably be taken out and set back up for opening day.
