oh no i understand, i was just pointing out that there is a 2700m fluctuation within 3 days. that's just wacky weather for any time of year.

and after thinking about it, i think its just Ullr telling us what's up. I think he's choked for slapping down that giant metal abomination in his sandbox.

If you want snow, you can find it.

It's out of squamish. You go along mamquam road, wayy up, then you hike from the parking lot. Half an hour to snow, another half hour to skiable snow, and another half hour until it's over a foot deep.

I wanna go back there, it was unbelievable.
