    Those slides at xtal were impressive. The heli dropping bombs yesterday had me wondering just how many pounds of TNT they dropped. Some of those bangs had to have been 50+lb charges. A few slides on...

    Xtal did not disappoint. 12" reported by resort was about right. South to SE facing slopes had a bit of wind scour, otherwise anything else was simply sweet. Even down lower below REX was not bad....

    There's nothing going on in the PNW that is worth a 5 and 1/2 hour flt, and $400 plane ticket. My advice is to stay on the fence. Besides, didn't you guys out in the NE just get hammered?

    It was much better than I expected. That's the deepest reported 5" new I've ever skied. It's really cold up there, so it should keep the snow nice and light for the crowds tomorrow.

    Just a few scenics fm Xtal. Cold and blue skies with light shin to knee deep. Managed to score several very nice runs on Green Valley, as well as HC and South Back. Happy New Year!

    Damn the telemetry, man! Well from 1st hand experience it was all hype and anti-climactic to say the least. Fog at the top for the first hour. Ski near the trees, hope the lite mist didn't freeze to...

    4" of blower pow in my back yard. Not enough to open yet.
