It seems that in the western United States, winter has hit a wall, literally! I've had my jet-stream maps opened and looping for the last month and nothing has changed. A massive wall of high pressure is parked over the west, and all of those pretty colors you see on the map above split north and south. Alaska is getting hammered, which I'll be thankful for in April, but the local situation is grim. I keep telling myself that the last 3 years have been incredible and that I am jaded, and now its time to harden the f*ck up and go nordic skiing in the Uintas. That, or the 22 foot walls at Park City which I have not seen in 3 years....
