Why does the world hate me?

I was there hitting rocks all last week.

They'll be hitting rocks all this week also, though the turns in between the rocks will be a bit better.

Only 37 inch (settled) mid-mountain base. Need at least 70 or so (settled) before you can start to get adventurous with non-rock skis. All those rocks you skied around last week (if you left the groomers), you'd be hitting this week, hidden under a nice inviting lightweight white blanket.

Bird and Alta have some pretty rough rocky slopes underneath which need a surprising amount of base. Different from the East Coast.

Yeah, that was obvious when our instructor pointed to a big rock outcropping and said "That's usually a groomer."

Alta had a few bowls that were almost rock free, they'd be pretty sweet with 2 feet of fresh instead of the 3 inches we got.

So...what about a late March trip to Baker instead of an April/Utah?

First week of April PNW?

Yeah... something like that. Think we can get a jimmy on board?

If we surprise him. Shhhh!

And Mary.

And others?

winterless winter

It's stories like this that should get the worm to turn shortly

Similar to the Sports Illustrated cover curse?

PNW just got slammed. Looks like WY, UT, CO and Tahoe(!) about to get slammed. Edit: forecast is now better for Alta than I posted in teh OP.

Weather pattern still a bit iffy for the Mid Atlantic with the zonal jetstream? Mr. Fish?

Baker's great (it has turned into something of a home mountain since my parents moved to Northern Washington a few years ago), and lord knows you will have plenty of snow, but I'd be a bit nervous about rain, especially at that time of year. Be sure to bring a good hardshell!
