Snow in the PNW 14/15: El Niño can suck it

[TripleT]

Well I'll try this thread, why not....before I call every ski shop around Seattle, I have multiple pairs I want to get a base grind only on, not a tune, not a wax, nothing but base grind. Who might do that for a reasonable price? Preference for eastside.

Pro ski on aurora (yes not the east side) did a pair for me

Who's renting touring skis and boots now that marmot is gone?

Feathered friends by REI also rents touring rigs. Pro Ski has new ownership as of last year but still good tech service and goods.

I think they've stopped that now... last time I went in there for ski related stuff and they didn't have any they told me they were moving out of the ski market completely. Unless they've changed their minds.

Any of the shops should be able to do it. Don't see why Sturts or Gerks wouldn't.

Always a good idea but...they have become quite militant as far as hiking goes. Used to be you could hike until the lifts started turning, now its no hiking between 6 am and 5 pm or something like that. Good luck, you'll probably be able to hide in the bushes as there is not much snow except where they spread out the snocrack.

Freshies on the NC foothills

Snowed a hair shy of 4" here in Wenatchee yesterday afternoon and evening. Went up for opening day a Mission, very nice snow surface with about 10" mixed in with the man made. Nice to see all the ski friends. Snowed all morning and still snowing. I watched a couple of yahoos skinning from the lot on probably 8" over fractured basalt and dirt. Ski patrol yelled at them and they ducked into the trees where there looked to be about an inch or two over the same. Have patience folks.

Forecast for Tuesday...rising freezing levels.



Cliff Mass says not so good for Snoqualmie, but there is a possibility of there being enough snow for Baker, Stevens and Crustal Thanksgiving openings.

went skiing today. windy, low vis, foggy, rocks, and gapers made for a great first day of the season. did anyone tour stevens today? looks like they got the goods last night

Stevens had the most people I've ever seen touring in one spot before. Easily 200, maybe more. It was fun though

Snowing hard until noon or so, then some sunbreaks here and there.

Cypress was going off yesterday. Played gaper gates all day!

Classic "trap on crap" this morning at Summit West. Still got some turns in before heading back down to jockey the desk:

Short evening jaunt to the top of GV at Crystal yielded surfy twilight pow on my birthday. Looking good up high.
