8" of new in the base area
It’s 4am, it snowed, and I’m about to head out for avalanche control for the second day in a row.
We got 8″ on the stake at home and 10″ 13″ (updated at 5am) at the top. What’s more, it’s still snowing. Hard.
For those of you that come to Crystal today you can follow the patrol–with openings, closures and conditions updates–on Twitter. Our handle is @crystalmtpatrol.
For those of you that aren’t at Crystal today, I wouldn’t follow us on Twitter. That would be cruel. It’s the holidays. You should be kind to yourself.
Just saying.
If you do come, be safe out there. It could be crowded in-bounds and the backcountry avalanche danger is going to be Considerate to High. Come early, get your turns in and start aprés skiing at 2pm. That’s what I’d do if I wasn’t working today.
Woo-hooooo!
hope we get some too
Awesome! Love this and found your blog on exactly the right day.
I miss WA! (And I will need to ask about your family name/history, another day!)
Happy New Year!

Glad you like it Lorayne. Kircher is my husband’s name. His family is from Michigan by way of St. Louis. Any relation?
Whoops! Guess I never responded! It’s doubtful. Kircher is my maiden name and though my mom is originally from Michigan, my Dad was born in Maryland and grew up in Florida. Love finding another writer with the Kircher name, though!
That’s wonderful news! how about doing the snow dance for us here in Vancouver too?
lol! Happy New Years 
Sorry to hear you still need snow Andy. I’ll try to send some your way.
