Great morning at Mission Ridge, 1-3" of graupel and snow from the lot to the summit cleaned up and smoothed out everything. Two runs, onebelow Microwave bowl and then Bowl 4. Fun smooth skiing....

You must be confusing enforcement with regulation. There is almost no way for the FS to enforce sled closures, they don't have the manpower. Spend sometime in the ALW up the Teanaway or west of...

The FS doesn't enforce no snowmobile zones anywhere.

So, I was scoping this drop out again today and I would say it's 40-50' depending on how much speed you were to carry.

That was a kid on a snowboard who started down a dead end and then got gripped above the cliffy part. It would have been an easy down climb of about 10' on 45 degree rock but he wouldn't budge. He...

The narrowest part is all most vertical and probably over 30'. Where he lands it's choppy and rocky and there is a huge traverse track.

There's still plenty of snow if...

Yeah, nothing like tomahawking though fractured basalt to ruin your day. I was up there today and there is more snow than January.

I remember that, wwsra demo days right? Most people look at the Bomber cliffs and only see 5 skiable lines. All of them end in a minefield of rocks, if you come screaming out of the chute, best...

Yeah, people I know who have skied here since they opened in the late '60s have never seen some of those lines skied.

Check out this guy at Mission Ridge.
http://vimeo.com/23001294 This is the first season I and my ski partners have seen him here. He's kind of a wing nut.

It happens all the time where I have my pass. I've skied untracked inbounds up to a week after a storm. Sometimes I'll pass on hike to terrain midweek because I know it'll be good tomorrow or the...

Ditto, only day at Steven's this year and it was ridiculous. I've never seen so many tail gunnin' skiers on fat, rockered skis straightlining on the backside. It must have been the snow because I...

Here's a video from some random skier I saw one day a Mission Ridge showcasing some of our spicier terrain. I don't think he's local I met him last week with the back mount on....

Today wasn't too shabby, 18-20" in undisturbed areas, just me and the dog.

Yeah, it's been cold over here, I frostbit my cheeks on Thursday and Friday. God damn the skiing has been good the last seven days. today was another epic, I really don't like that word but that's...

Good luck, it was knee to thigh deep in most areas at Mission today with pockets of waist deep or deeper. Total blower and cold. If the storm pans out tonight and tomorrow it should be a nipples deep...

Mission Ridge was tits today. WSSRA demo day tomorrow, they should have fun.

How soon we forget. '04-'05 was way worse than this, no skiing anywhere below 6000 feet until the end of March.

This is what it's been like at Mission everyday for the past two weeks-
