Mike is on the road for work again, so BA and Evan try to keep the winter vibe alive even while the March heat wave turns Tahoe into a giant snow-melting pot and Utah's snowpack is in a "I'm not even sure what's left" mood.

They chuckle about chasing the last snowstorms like it's a game of hide-and-seek, explain why the Tahoe snowpack is melting in record fashion, and feature some real changes in the top-ten list. Between a patchy snowfall report that stretches from Washington to Michigan, the looming threat of resorts closing before the weekend, and a wild forecast that might bring a sliver of April powder, the hosts keep the conversation light-hearted, reassuring listeners that there's still a chance-however slim-for that perfect powder day before the seasons flip.

The Flakes Podcast is proudly sponsored by Alta Ski Area — one of the most special ski areas on the planet. Independently owned since 1938 and tucked deep in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Alta is a skier’s-only mountain known worldwide for its legendary powder skiing. With an average of 538 inches of snowfall each season, powder days aren’t the exception here — they’re the expectation. Learn more at Alta.com.

We’re also supported by Smartwool, because chasing snow means long days outside in every kind of weather. From cold chairlift rides to deep powder laps and post-ski town runs, Smartwool’s merino layers keep us warm when it’s cold, cool when it’s not, and comfortable no matter what the forecast throws our way. It’s gear we actually wear — on storm days, travel days, and everything in between. Visit Smartwool.com to learn more.
