That looks way gnarier than the boozing that went on at Alpental.

Since it's easier to miss now that regular daily forecasts have stopped and you might have got out of the habit of checking and we're all excited about the passes opening

NWAC just issued another...

That'd be the one.....

I think it's a pretty s/reasonable guess that it's fairly sketch right now.

Or you could read NWAC's out of season alert issued today?

So it's CNL Lifestyle Company, LLC's fault then?



Smooches.

I'd suggest that the pass holders who have already stopped using their passes actually keep the mountain's business alive....

It is a shame. And I'd far rather that Crystal wasn't infested with...

Perhaps traditions don't pay the bills?

Anyway I'm sure you know more about the business of running a ski resort than they do...

Exactly.

"At this stage we'd like to make a gondola pre-boarding annoucement and invite first class ticket holders, members of our platinum frequent sliders program and those travelling with young...

At the moment the plan is to have everyone riding there but have them all paying a different price from everyone else.

QUITTER!

It should accelerate all our snow ending up in big piles at the bottom of mountains.

1' of water at 7k FL with 25-30 mph winds

Sounds epic.

East Peak?

I hope you mean the fatality that happened there this past Saturday http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2014429019_skier08.html

Not another one?

With CO like snow and temperatures comes CO like stability.

Weekend plans being re-evaluated.....

We were starting to see slight but very distinct increase in cohesiveness mid afternoon...

Beat me to that thought.

North Cascades Heli day tomorrow.

I'll let you know how it's progressing up there.

They'd better be right Big Steve.

North Cascade Heliing next weekend. I don't want a fuggin pineapple in the tail rotor.

Willie..... make that up to 9K

I don't know Steve..... the jong sounds something of an expert.

Just say no to lingering instabilities!

You were in the wrong spots. :wink:

No rain crust whatsoever at xtal.

Very, very busy.

Some good turns in NW before line got crazy.

SB opened 1.00ish. Sublime dense PNW pow off of king.

Not as good as yesterday overall...

I think it was on Wednesday?

Dromond was getting all excited about it.

Point well made.

Offer the guy a tour.

No skins needed. You should try and find a local to show you around though.

Don't take it for granted.... very, very few ski areas in the US have terrain that'll ruin your day/life as quickly as...

I agree. Those are frustrating.

But a couple of week at a time blow ups during the season would add something to the hill?

BTW -

6 got it's transmission shredded on Saturday when the op was...

Some of the best powder bowl turns I've ever had yesterday.

6 should break down more often.

Pssst.

NOAA is the NWS

^ Awesome PNW Golden Retriever stoke.

Can't wait to get my pup back out on snow when his paws are healed up.

Thanks for posting.

You know where the considering is done ;)

Shock collar?

Silver Basin Xtal yesterday.

Penitentes?

Timely thread. Deliciously Autumnal in the PNW this morning.
