Something's brewing





Heard Mt Baker's getting like 100ft of snow.

So much intense weather is going to hit us, that I don't know where to start...but let me try..

Just remember, a new thread requires skiing new snow, below the tree line, with zero indication the snow will disappear.

Otherwise: https://youtu.be/g6e5E20k9jY

I love all the stipulations we put on our snow thread.

We're a superstitious bunch in the PNW.

Why hopefully?

Basal facets, it can be a real issue over here.

It looks like it's mostly gone now, fear not.

Great.

Glad I bought that generator last year. I always lose power for days with this shit.

[Buster Highmen]

Damn, I've only got 1 dull chain; others went in for sharpening.
On the plus side, I've got fresh gas mix and aside from the freezers, we're good without power with gas stovetop to cook, muniwater and woodstore for heat.

Gas stove and gas water heater are money during power outages. Plus my shit ton of camping propane tanks for lanterns and my Mr Buddy. The irony is I have a gas fireplace but it has an electric starter, pain in the ass.

Heads up... Pro Ski to partner w/ Mount Dweebus for guided side country touring

Fresh coating above 6500', looks like enough to make a trip somewhere with a glacier worthwhile.

Wooot.

[Norseman]

Nice!

N.B. Not my dog... or photo...

Lift shack?

[PNWbrit]

Lift shack?

It's just out of frame on the left I think?

I haven't been up there for a few weeks... just hoping they've got the Blvd bridge repair finished. It was down to a single lane, stop light and bailey bridge

[2FUNKY]

[wyeaster]

[oftpiste]

Again? fixing the shitty job they did on it last year?

I think shitty job last year was intentionally temporary fix.

They also cleaned up and netted the big Rock face at bottom of blvd.

DOT I think.

Also got a strange PSE voice mail yesterday about G'dub being powered off of crystal generator Thursday while power lines are worked on downstream.
