Thread: SNOW IN THE PNW 2010!

have fun guys, i'm sitting in maple fuels doing computer work today (stop in and say hi if you want, "drop cliffs not bombs" and DPS stickers on teh laptop). I'll be up there tomorrow though for the whole day if anyone wants to meet up.

edit to add: prob on lotus 138's w/ dynafits or explosives with dyanfits tomorrow... say HI, I need touring partners this winter.

Been checking the meadows telemetry and getting really stoked to come back for 5 weeks over Dec/Jan.

Fuck the front range, the NW is where it's at!

Loving the title of this thread...obsolete right as the season gets ramped up
Cheers to pow in the pnw, see you out there around thanksgiving

Sorry 'bout that. I guess we'll just have to deal with a thread w/ last year's title instead of a newer, better one that says "2011".

BTW, SkiingSamurai, I may have been wrong about today. Next time don't take advice from someone that's over 3000 miles away.

yeah, Im buried at work right now. If my boss found out I played hookie he'd probably drive up to the mountain to yell at me (hes a skier too)

If the snow sticks around I may head up this weekend.

Being a real person sucks, I miss college ski bumming

As of 5pm Tuesday Paradise ranger station was reporting 41 inches from this storm and it's still snowing. Somebody is going to get great turns if the sun pokes out of the clouds tomorrow.

I got to get the winter tires put on tomorrow. Hopefully it doesn't turn to rain by thursday.

I was just about to post this exact same thing. Sitting at work today, staring at the cascades with new snow and the sun was shining. If I didnt have 12 hours of work to do... that would have been awesome.

Maybe this weekend.

Does Bethany still run that place? Say hi from Travis, Thad, KC and Brad. We rented a place from her just behind the station back in 97/98 and 98/99. Good times.

I'm not sure, i'll have to ask next time I'm in there. There isn't anything behind the station now besides the liquor store and the laundromat though.

Huh, she used to rent out in a newer mfg home back in the woods behind the liquor store
