I'd love to hit Waterman, Baldy, and other southern spots during a year when the terrain is actually covered. Well, hopefully this year’s El Nino pans out then.

Bill, looking back at those shots of powder billowing up against the sky, I sometimes think I was crazy to ever leave that mountain. :) Dan, an El Nino year can put 400+ inches of snow on the San Francisco Peaks.

One of the things about the southwest (I mean So Cal on into Arizona) is that there really is some fantastic terrain down there. But, at average snowfall less than 200" a year just doesn't provide adequate, consistent coverage for terrain like that ... especially when you couple that small snowpack with the intense sunshine that tends to burn the slopes to oatmeal in the afternoons even in January. I'll have to get down and do some hikers out of the Arizona Snowbowl sometime ... Cool video.
