From Blown-Out to Blessed

Coop



Alright, Cali Pass crew! Coop here, your Director of Stoke, bringing you the latest weather alpha from our mountain playgrounds. We've got some gnarly wind today and a potential refresh of #MaNatural on the horizon, so let's break it down:

ECMWF (Euro) 6hr Precip, MSLP, 850Mb - Shows Storm door reopening...
ECMWF (Euro) 6hr Precip, MSLP, 850Mb - Shows Storm door reopening...

Bear Valley and Dodge Ridge:

  • Hold onto your hats! Today's forecast calls for serious blown-out conditions, with north-to-east winds gusting 50-70 mph. Batton down the hatches and maybe opt for a hot cocoa, or #FrostyAdultLibation break instead of braving the chop. 💨

  • Midweek mellows out:  Things calm down Tuesday through Thursday with clear skies and mild temps. Perfect for cruising the groomers and soaking up the sunshine. ☀️

  • Weekend warrior alert:  A weak system might roll in Friday night through Saturday, bringing some light snow showers and cooler temps. Keep those fingers crossed for a fresh dusting of #MaNatural! ❄️

China Peak:

  • Windy start:  We're also feeling the breeze today, with gusts up to 45 mph. A few lifts might be on wind hold, but don't worry; there's still plenty of terrain to explore.

  • Freezing nights:  Bundle up! Sub-freezing temps all week, so layer up and keep those toes toasty. 🥶

  • Weekend POW potential:  A system might bring some light snow to the higher elevations over the weekend. Let's hope Mother Nature delivers the goods! 🙏

Mountain High:

  • Whoa Nelly!  A major Santa Ana wind event is hitting Mountain High today through Tuesday. Expect damaging gusts up to 100 mph in some spots. Definitely not the day to be charging in the backcountry. 💨

  • Weekend storm watch:  Rain and snow are possible on Saturday, with snow levels dropping to 4,000 feet. Could be a good time to score some fresh tracks if the storm delivers. ❄️

Overall:

It's a week of two halves, folks. Hang loose through the gusty start, then get ready to amp up for a potential refresh of MothersNaturesNatural this weekend. Stay safe out there! 🤙

Stay tuned as we tighten up the forecast over the next 48hrs, and stay tuned as we have another round in the #WayOut around Jan 27th -30th! Stay'nThirsty for POW Coop
