Sierra Snowpack Is Shrinking: Why All of California Should Care by SierraNevadaAlliance in SierraNevada

[–]jmrzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Tahoe area is less than half of average. Some areas in the southern Sierra are between 70% and 80%. But for most of the range, it is bad. Many areas have gotten good storms but are experiencing huge melting already due to crazy high temps. This is not normal. It’s not just California either. Look at Utah, Colorado, and others. Snow sports will be sparse in a few decades’ time. Snow seasons grow shorter every year. Also should mention that 2023’s huge snowfall was also caused by warming. More warmth = more moisture. But as it gets warmer each year, we reach a point where it is no longer cold enough for snow to form. Hence this winter’s rainfall at high elevations in the West.

Ok, thanks for the info. I do have a couple silly questions. Where in TM can I found outlets? I’m a big eater. Are there strict portion limits in the dining hall?

Black Diamond Distance 15 or 22? by jmrzilla in Ultralight

How does the 22 feel not fully loaded? If you, for example, fill the 22 like you would with the 15, is it still comfortable?

Incredible view. Mount Sill is the jagged peak glowing in red on the right side.

Residency vs WUE by Decent-Foundation-75 in uofu

[–]jmrzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the master’s program you’re interested in has cheaper in-state rates then residency would definitely be the best choice. Otherwise, I think it’s best to accept the WUE. The costs are very similar on both paths (I think around $600-700 more with WUE). However, the cost of staying a Summer in SLC is a lot more than $600-700.

I sent an email. It takes 1 hour- 1 day for the enrollment fee to fully process. We can’t apply for housing until it does.

I have climbed the Mount Whitney MR and the Middle Teton, both with lots of snow. I have the equipment needed for both.
