Alpental was packed. They didn't start the lift until 9:45am. Sucked for me since I had to leave at noon for work. Snow was great. They said 23" new at top and it certainly seemed deep.

Got back late last night from 2 days at Bachelor. Couldn't have timed it more perfectly. Jonesy was right. Waist deep and no one there on Friday. Best day I've had in a long time.

Alpental was not so good today. Rain in the parking lot and snow below chair 2 was sticky, gloppy, taters. Elevator opened around 11:30, but one run through there was enough for me to call it a...

I went Tuesday. Didn't check trashcan, but the high T opening at 10am was pretty awesome. Snow was consistent, firm powder. No lines to speak of and good visibility made for a fun morning before...

I toured at Heather Ridge today (Stevens Pass). Snow pack was sketchy to say the least. 10" on top of a 1/4" rain crust. Test block broke with the weight of barely one ski. We took off after one...

Alpental is not open yet. The only thing open at the Summit is the radness of Summit West. I'll be there Sunday for my 4 year old's first day.
