3/ 23, Sierra's

- yesterday, I skied 2 ft of nice powder, on an east aspect. on the NW aspect that has a couple chutes, a skier triggered a wind slab release that took him into a terrain trap of trees. he suffered some injuries, and was air-lifted to Reno. (check Sierra Avalanche Center for a rpt)
- the storm track has been unrelenting, as last Fri, into Mon. resorts reported up to 8 ft of new. up north, the Mt Shasta area also received that wallup. Alpine Meadows resort was forced to stay closed Sunday, as they reported extreme avalanche conditions. (they had an avalanche in the early 80's that wiped out their base).  today and tomorrow, 2 additional ft, is forecasted both days. March can typically be a big month, so bring it on.  * should be a phenominal corn season.
