Hey now, snowshoeing on those groomed hiking trails is so much nicer than walking in that fresh powder snow in the woods

You couldn't be more correct.
There will now be a trail from Twisp to Winthrop that nobody will use because of a survey. The questions were phrased in such a way as to make it almost impossible to say you didn't want it. Meanwhile, the Winthrop trailhead typically gets barely enough snow to be the skiing trailhead, yet there will somehow be enough snow on this lower elevation trail.
Snowshoers, (mostly rental), now are the #1 trailhead user at the Snoqualmie trailheads, and it's growing.
New Gondy cabs were still on back order last I heard.
These sound pleasant

TERRAIN BASED LEARNING
As part of our effort to increase the beginner experience, we're also adding Terrain Based Learning which uses shaped snow to aid in learning the basics on-snow.
DIGITAL INTERACTIONS
We added self registration stations in the rental shop and snowsports sales office, this will help streamline the information gathering process and reduce data entry errors. It will also push your rental equipment information to the relevant staff so they can prepare your equipment for you ahead of time. Saving you time and optimizing our processes.
So who wants to run with this theme and make this film a reality?

Mission Ridge are doing a $99 ticket that allows you to ski every day its open until Christmas day. Only available until midnight on 12/05 though.
Decent deal for getting some weekend turns whilst waiting to use my season pass at Snoqualmie.
anyone have a pair of ultra-heavy fat charger skis. need to be as heavy and stiff as possible,, would like to borrow them at the end of the month if this weather pattern doesn't break up and behead myself,,
hahaha I'm gonna get shit for that for forever. I lived there 9 fucking months! I moved here from Virginia for fuck's sake, I dunno why I say that! I still do, too!
If I have the days free I could theoretically show up to the recovery program formerly known as BBI and get mad about something so my new englandah comes out but A) it's awfully hard to be mad about anything in that situation and B) it'd be way funnier to daniel day lewis it and go full california skier. So if stars align I'll stage a complete freakout on nash just for you. Top or bottom of the run, your choice. Cusses about flat light and, uhh, investments? (need to research this role) will be made either way.
I have a pair of bodes for that purpose. $50 to borrow them indefinitely.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...Upper ridging continues to
build into the area on Monday. Except for some areas of morning
fog, most areas should see some partial sunshine and near normal
temperatures. The ridging early next week heralds something of a
pattern change in the extended period. The upper ridge will
quickly shift east of the area on Tuesday as the first of a series
of systems approach the area. The first system looks rather weak.
But both deterministic models and ensemble means point to a more
consolidated storm track taking aim at the Pacific Northwest in
the later half of next week. December as we normally know it may
yet return.
My Bodes are only 186s, but they've got a fresh tune on them so they're at least nice and sharp for a clean beheading.
I bought one of those Mission Ridge $99 deals, and I'm planning to make it over a few times before Christmas. Get in touch if you want to meet up there or carpool from North Bend.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...A weakening front is slated
to arrive on Tuesday. It continues to look fairly inconsequential,
but it does open to the door for a potentially more active period
for the later half of next week. Deterministic model runs and
ensembles still point toward a series of systems reaching the
area with lower heights...and more importantly...lower snow
levels. 27
I am a patient boy
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait
My time is like water down a drain
Everybody's moving,
Everybody's moving,
Everybody's moving, moving, moving, moving
Please don't leave me to remain
I'm in the waiting room, I don't want the news
I cannot use it
I don't want the news
I won't live by it
Sitting outside of town
Everybody's always down
Tell me why?
Because, they can't get up to ski
Ah, come on and get up
Come on and get up
The Windy Hill provided top to bottom smooth groomers this morning, along with a healthy dose of ever shifting low visibility. Although we lost chairs 3 and 4 to low tide conditions due to warming this past week, the addition of the quad was well received. Snagged first chair with Not Neil Armstrong and busted a few laps before the 10's of people descended on the slopes
