Tides and Turns

Will the big minus tide next Sunday (-5.0 or lower in places) have any effect on skiing conditions around the area?  We know, for a fact, that a good chantrelle crop in the fall foretells a great ski season, but what about a good clamming tide?  Could a person conceivably be Goeducking-All-Year?  I love skiing under a full moon, so maybe that has something to do with it?  I don't know, just asking..    ???

I dont know.. but.. I think you may be right about the chantrelle theory. Last fall was pretty good...as was the winter. Thanks for the heads up on the minus tide...these really low tides are great for catching tanker waves in the sound.

surfs up when it's down... sounds auspicious!

good skiing is often the result of radical water transformations...

We were just doing a recap of the Winter...
Awesome December, Awful Jan, Feb..unless you like Spring skiing in the deep of Winter and March was OK, but no Lion. Still we lucked out with a long enduring snowpack despite the long drought. I would call the Winter season spotty after December.

I'm only giving this winter a 5.5/10...... as we were discussing, Dec was 8/10, Jan and Feb 4/10, March a 6/10 that gives a .55 average.....there was not enough powder in Jan and Feb to make it a good year ( although we expect a drought for part of Jan) and March came in too late. It was OK but not a great season....Jan and FEb need to get their act together for next year.

Having no training in the natural sciences or research methodology, I feel uniquely qualified to boldly proclaim that next Sunday's -5.0 tide will absolutely correlate with a deep powder 2013/14 skiing season. No doubt about it. As a matter of fact, I am already in the market for a new set of snow tires (putting my money where my mouth is). Get prepared everybody!
