Secrets of the Greatest Snow on Earth, 2nd Edition

I'm excited to share that the 2nd Edition of Secrets of the Greatest Snow on Earth is now available for pre-order! Preorder now at https://upcolorado.com/utah-state-university-press/item/6364-secrets-of-the-greatest-snow-on-earth-second-edition and use the code STEE23 and you'll get 40% off.  

The book has been fully updated and has two new chapters.  There's now a deeper dive into microclimates beyond Utah, especially Japan and the Austrian Alps based on extensive and "very challenging" research in both regions.  Climate change is covered in greater depth with a look at recent snow and glacier trends in the western US and Alps and projections for changes in snow at western US ski areas.  

The scheduled publication month is July.  If you're lucky, you'll have it to cool yourself off and raise the stoke for next season during the heat of summer.

  3. Jim: Is there any way to make more than just a random prediction about snowfall amounts for ’23-24 season based on what happened this season? Any historical patterns or anything that could prove predictive after huge snowfall and SWE years like we are just wrapping up?

    1. A reliable one? Probably not.

      There may be some linkages between slowly evolving ocean temperatures and decadal snowfall, but for any given season, that may be hard to anticipate. Work i being done though. We shall see.
