#StokeLevelRising - #ColdSmoke Inbound – January 24, 2025

Coop


Buenos dìas, my friends Cup'O'Joe in hand on this fabulous Friday, and I’m fired up to track a fresh round of #MotherNature’s finest #MaNatural rolling into all our Cali Pass Resorts this weekend! The inside slider is delivering a sweet refresh, with snow levels dropping low and cold temps locking in that #ColdSmoke we all love.


Snow Teaser Totals (Saturday–Sunday):

  1. Mountain High: 6–12 inches of #PixieDust to top things off.

  2. China Peak: 6–10 inches for #RippingColdSmoke.

  3. Dodge Ridge: 2–7 inches – enough to freshen up those tree runs.

  4. Bear Valley: 2–6 inches for some soft turns in the Sierra.


Inside Tip’o’the Week:

  • NorCal Skiers and Riders: Head to China Peak for a #ColdSmokeSunday session. This resort is in the sweet spot for totals and prime conditions.

  • SoCal Skiers and Riders: Mountain High is your destination this weekend. With the highest snow forecast, Sunday is shaping up to be a session you won’t forget.

Stay safe on the roads as the snow starts piling up, and get those skis and boards ready for a fresh layer of #MaNatural goodness. This storm might not rewrite the record books, but it’s perfect for shaking off the mid-season dust.

Stay'nThirsty for POW Coop
