The 19/20 Copper State Conditions Thread.

Upgraded, up to 38 inches by thursday and then it continues.

I'm getting super fired up right now.

As you should be. What a Christmas gift!

Stoked!

Rt on!!!

My girlfriend has told me that a good five inches is all you need sometimes. I figured she was low balling me just to make me feel ok. Today I became a believer.

Now that looks fun!

Excellent. 5” of light snow can be bliss. You don’t need as much steep to enjoy it.

It just won’t quit right now!

Snowbowl is on their way to another record breaking season as far as $ goes which means we will hopefully be getting that new chondolla next year!

Cody getting it yesterday morning.

You have all the makings of a ripper right there. Chick rippers are way cool too. Good for you, RA!

Thanks Camp, Harv, Peetex,  I’m a very proud poppa!

Flagstaff is going in deep. It. Won’t. Stop.

Welcome to the snow globe.

We went touring today. It was a five star day for sure, epic honestly. No ski shots though, way too cold.

Breathtaking scenery there

Fantastic!

It’s you turn for early season bliss - enjoy

Conditions......

  The terrain and conditions in your photos look spectacular . Hope you don't mind me asking but are your backcountry tours accessed from the top of Snowbowl lifts?

I don't mind at all. Generally speaking, yes. I have a seasons pass so I usually ride the Ag chair up to get into the back country but sometimes it can be on hold so we have entered from lower points such as the Humphrey's chair or even right from the parking lot. Access changes depending on conditions but there's always a way, we have an open boundary policy but during really big events patrol and the Sheriffs department will close the back country. They don't actually patrol or enforce those orders though so.......well you can probably guess how we feel about that anyways.

the terrain is pretty good but conditions change rapidly. We get a lot of wind and the sun is very powerful here. The shit winds came in yesterday and destroyed most of that beautiful powder we were skiing the day before that. Upper mountain in bounds was really good this morning since the big chair was closed that day the upper area got wind buffed.

It's a great, attitude free locals sort of place. It gets crazy during the holidays and on weekends but midweek is real quiet.

Maybe I'll put up a back country guide in here pretty soon. I sort of have it all mapped out on google earth images.
