I highly recommend stopping in at Boundary Bay for a beer or three, their IPA is one of the best IMHO. Food's pretty good too.



I would.

Groceries and booze will be a little cheaper in...

Wow, deaths at Stevens and Alpental today, very sad day.

This morning at Alpy was awesome and far exceeded my expectations, left at 1 due to not being able to scrape the ice off my goggles as fast as it was building up. I was supposed to be back up tonight...

Mista Busta where the fuck you at?

I'm right off exit 32 in North Bend and it's been pretty schizo the last hour or two. Rain, snow, sleet, slush and any and all of those things at any given time....

It is snowing at my house in North Bend right now. Enough for a little dusting on the grass, trees, roof, cars, pretty much everything but the road.

Just to clarify, Summit West says they will be running 4 chairs, Pacific Crest, Little Thunder, Dodge Ridge and Julie’s. Stevens says they will be running 2, Brooks and Daisy.

I don't think it's quite as bad as you're saying, looks like Snoqualmie got 6-7" and Alpental got 7-8" before the freezing rain hit last night. At least it's back to snow now, could be worse.
...

So a funny thing happened, Julie, a friend and neighbor of my boss, has worked with rescues and shelters for years and fosters rescue dogs in her home. About a month ago she got a new foster named...

The pups are in the Seattle area, but that doesn't mean that their forever homes need to be.

Photos will be in the thread that I post later.



This is what I was thinking too.

I will be posting a thread later about 9 puppies and their mom that need homes, now obviously this thread will not be S/S related, however I would like it to get as much exposure as possible to...

Hell yeah, definitely exceeded expectations, so fun today.

I had to wait about 30 seconds to get on chair 2 at one point though. :fmicon:

Hey DBS,

If you haven't grabbed some yet, Safeway (in North Bend) is selling Black Butte Porter for $11.99 for a 12 pack, damn good price.

Good demos and also rent full AT setups (including skins, beacon, shovel, probe) if that's what you're looking for.

They also have a pretty killer...

Holy shit, NWAC telemetry for Alpental says that between 8am Sunday and 8am Monday they got 21 inches with another 6 inches since 9am today. Also sounds like the pass is pretty fucked, it's been...

Had another epic day at Alpy yesterday. Started at Hyak which was fun, but was over at Alpental by 10:30. After a couple sick laps on nash/snake dance/traversing skiers right lower nash and one run...

Today was epic as fuck, face shots on every run, all day long. Free refills all day long. I don't even know what else to say.

And yeah, like a few others mentioned, last night was the best night...

Alpental was awesome last night, snowed pretty heavily most of the night which made for some great shredding, went for a few hikes to skiers right of chair 1 and got some nice boot top powder turns,...

Cool story bro, I wish I could have been there to see it, sounds hilarious.

Middle aged dude gets ran in to, obviously accidentally, by teenage girl and gets so pissed and flustered that all he...

There will be a very rare midweek 1 day opening of Summit East tomorrow to celebrate the return of winter to the Cascades. The forecast looks favorable for at least a few inches of new snow by the...

Smith sensor mirror lens in what ever frame fits your face is my new favorite for flat light.

Why? That dude was rippin.


Caring how other people think you look when out there having a blast is stupid.

I know most of you keep yourselves updated on the NWAC mountain weather forecast, but I figured I'd post this anyway because it's pretty cool when they do this...



Some pretty creative folks at...

I went to Summit Central yesterday and it was just so nice to ski fresh snow again. Chutes off of 360 cat track were pretty fun as were some spots off of Silver Fir. Snowed all day, sometimes pretty...

Be careful out there, this may have turned out differently if she wasn't alone and she knew these mountains really, really well...

Missing Skier Near Alpental - Teton Gravity Research Forums

While that is true, freezing levels are supposed to drop significantly later Sunday night and in to Monday morning to as low as 1000 feet. NWAC is calling for moderate snow all day Monday and in to...

Jeep is SOLD!

So the first guy that actually showed up bought it for my asking price, didn't even try to haggle. Yay!

Holy balls, people are just so damn flaky. The morning after I posted this on craigslist my phone was blowin' up with people wanting to buy it, saying shit like "Please don't sell it to anyone else,...

Anyone wanna buy a Jeep?

1996 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 with the 4.0 liter 6cyl high output motor.
140,000 miles, low miles for a '96.
Automatic transmission w/overdrive.
4wd high and lo work great, this jeep can go anywhere and...

Wow, be careful up at Alpental. After skiing it today for a few hours, I can honestly say that it is considerably worse than just a couple days ago. In some spots there are a considerable amount of...

It is worse now, not waaay worse, but noticeably so.
More snow has melted since you were last there, so more rocks, trees, dirt, etc are exposed.
It's still plenty skiable, but I'm not bringing...

I was at Alpental last night for city league.
When I got there the snow was pretty soft and slushy, but got firmer as it got later into the night. The skiing was really fun and pretty fast with tons...

Heavy fucking rain in the passes, again. :cussing:

Those holes/pits on the lower mountain at Alpental aren't getting any smaller. :nonono2:

Good point.

I guess I just didn't think there was going to be all that much new snow by then.

Just a heads up, I just got a call from a buddy on my team and apparently they might cancel the racing tonight due to "weather". I don't really get why, just passing it along. He said they should...

I'll be at Alpy tonight for Tuesday night city league, anyone else?

You fuckers jinxed it. :wink:

Man I hope NWAC is wrong about this...




Aint that a bitch.

The bottom of Alpy is at about 3100 ft, the top is just over 5400 ft, not really sure how you're under the impression that Alpental only has 1000 ft of vert.

2300 feet of elevation makes a pretty...

Really wet heavy dumpage right now in North Bend (WA), hard enough that even though it's really wet, it's accumulating.

Department of Goods has a brand new one for $50.

Thanks Jimmy, the Phenoms are the goggles I've decided on, now I just need to decide which lens to go with.
So it sounds like the Ignitor is pretty good at everything while the Sensor is very good...

So, if you could only keep one lens between the Ignitor Mirror and the Sensor Mirror which one would you choose and why?
Also, lets say this would be your only lens other than a cheapo clear lens.

Quite the dumpage in North Bend over the last few hours. I've got almost 3 inches on the deck and a there is a good inch on the road outside my place.
I'm up from the valley floor a couple hundred...

From the NWAC 12/24...



Monday and Tuesday could be quite nice up there with plenty of precip and 500-1500 ft snow levels.

Happy Holidays Mags!

Do you still have the Heiress with the sensor mirrors?
If so, I want 'em.
Also want a pair of the Phenoms.

I'll send you a PM.

Thanks Wunderkind, you the man!

I placed my order on Tuesday, received my order on Thursday.
Used their free shipping option, which is UPS ground. I have no idea why it got here so fast (Seattle...

Did you happen to stop off at the Snoqualmie Falls Brewing Co. for some nachos and a Triskaidekaphobia when you were done skiing?

Can't hurt to try/beg, doesn't look like I'll be getting any new gear any time soon without it.

PM sent, to Wunderkind that is.

Any current codes out there?
I'd really, really like to upgrade from my shitty ass way to big for me soaking wet 3-in-1 Columbia jacket and equally as shitty and to big for me Columbia pants....
