At the start of the 2016-17 ski season, scientists at the University of Nevada, Reno and Sugar Bowl partnered to study regional weather and the impacts of climate change in the Northern Sierra by way of installation of three weather stations. How do I know Sugar Bowl's Daily Snow Report is accurate? Click here to learn more about the science behind corn snow and spring conditions. ![]() For a short period, true corn can be just as good as our old friend powder. As the snow warms up, the bonds between the snow grains begin to melt, leading to a wonderful snow surface. True corn snow is caused by snow that has gone through repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The key to a good corn harvest is all about timing. Come too late, and you could find the snow to be overly slushy. Ski or ride too early and you may find yourself on an undesirable and icy slope. Spring conditions are ever changing and deserve awareness. In other words, it’s the “Goldilocks” of snow-not too hard, not too soft, but just right. ![]() Corn refers to the snow during the time window when it has become soft and forgiving, but not too wet and slushy. Large grains of snow freeze together overnight, then they loosen as the sun warms them during the day. It is generally found in the spring when freeze/melt cycles affect the snow. This elusive snow is actually very desirable and often falls in the “hero snow” category, but it can be hard to time. In order to prevent deep ruts, Patrol will be closing those sections, later in the day, to allow the sun to “bake” the snow and reset for it next round of velvety corn snow. As temps rise, Patrol will assess the conditions, then drop the lines so you can catch that perfect window of 'corn snow'. Lincoln will be closed to start the day, giving the snow surface time to warm up.

America doesn't require that we abandon who we are. But that's possible because America doesn't fight our individualities. We ought to want to celebrate a singular American-ness. So it is this nuanced situation where we want to be one. But part of the reason why that possibility happens in America is because America allows us to also be, in my case, Jewish, Iranian, Middle Eastern, Chinese and so many other possibilities. There is something greater than these small parts that we bring with each other. It's nuanced in that I think ultimately assimilation creates a sense of national solidarity, right? We all realize that it's a beautiful thing to assume this American identity and feel that there is something bigger than what we came with individually. And we also know from our track record that within a generation or two we make this country home for newcomers. And what we can best hope for is to do better. It is probably one of the most important aspects of the American immigration experience that we have all, no matter what background we came from, at one point or another throughout history, have been subjected to discrimination in this country. On recent hate crimes against immigrants, particularly Asian Americans When you look at why it is that America has been, compared to other Western nations, a much better destination for immigrants, I can't help but think that it is in great part the contribution of the African-American struggles for equal rights that we as outsiders have benefited from what they have done in order to create a more just and equal society.
