We give thanks to Ullr. The Cascades have been on a roll lately- from Baker to Crystal...the richtersickdur scale has been off the charts.
Another cold set of storms moved in from the coast to blanket the Cascades with a ton of our favorite white stuff.
SATURDAY 11.12.2005
On the drive up, we could tell it had the makings for an epic day. The foothills and benches were coated with snow.
It was game time. And Crystal's terrain was ready to get down to business
Silver King
The Throne
Chair 6 was deserted. We saw that Schmear snagged 1st chair (bastardo!) but pondered...."where oh where art thou profit, Mr. Highman?"
BC-Flow enjoying an untracked Campbell Basin
Pollard
BC-Flow is a slutbag. The Ants cutting first tracks all day
BC-Flow...decisions, decisions...right or left?
Holy! It's OPEN! This will not suck. Get the walking boots on. Southback calls.
Tasty.
Okay, I guess that was worth the hike
"Uh, I think I'm going to have to get a snorkel. The snow keeps getting deeper!" (Pollard)

All this fresh snow- about time we spice things up

2pm. Barely touched. Seriously. (okay, I lied. they opened Northback around 12pm)
Pollard- he's in there somewhere

One of Iggy's friends, snowboard chica shredding the gnar
Crystal's legendary Snorting Elk Cellar
Where the PNW Mags gather to toast beers at the end of a day like this! I'll take a Mirror Pond & some Kokanne please!
