As much as I hate weekend skiing, Saturday seems to be my ski day of choice. I may be aiming for Sunday as well, but this ski weekend is testing my dedication to the sport with just Saturday.
I...
The groomers are fast and chalky with some soft spots. The only off piste I've tried was super icey, and I've only heard reports of the same. Maybe it will soften up but it is still mainly cloudy...
I hope Greenwater gets cleaned up and its fridges powered. Trying to live daily life in wet mess with out regular amenities can be rough and not quite the carefree campfire lock in from your youth. ...
If anyone has extra room on their bus, Id like to head up on Friday if I can swing a ride.

This is certainly not bus weather.
I ended up quad skating in the garage for my thigh work out today.
Im up in the air about this weekend, but will likely try to hit Saturday or Sunday, and...
Its been snowing as much as 2 inches per hour according to the stake (I get up pretty early and have been watching it)

Looks like a pretty awesome day lining up. Looks like there is a chance for the snow level to stay down for Thursday. It will atleast be pretty deep above midstation .

Im hoping the upper mountain it will be loaded with a few inches of fresh shmoo, with fat wet flakes blinding me. Today or tomorrow would have been a better choice Ill admit, but at this point I...
Theres some low land snow flurries happening right now in the Maple Valley area. Kids are enjoying it.
I should be heading up to the big umbrella on Thursday, there is a midweek bus from...
I hate typing on the damn phone. Typing while cooking dinner certainly did not help. Typos fixed. Now we can get on with the ski stoke.

Stoke torch. Just a silly metaphor.
Fullstack and I, left from my place at 6, and arrived no later than 7:15, with the lux of A lot parking. The atmosphere was electric, and you got to see a collection of motived/dedicated skiers. ...
5th chair, not to bad of a place to be. Just waiting for the gun.

Snow conditions at the big umbrella gave a taste of everything. With the fresh layer of 3-6 inches of soft and surprisingly dry snow i managed to squeek in a handful of untracked powder runs before...
I got up at 430 this morning, leaving the house at 545 so my wife and I could get breakfast then stop at the Enumclaw safeway for some jerky. The bus was pretty empty, so a nap was pretty easy to...
Im sitting in the expo lot waiting for the 7:30 bus, which is already here. Everything is going smoothly for once.

I'll be trying the bus once again on Saturday. I sent a letter out this week about my two experiences and have heard nothing. I also called their guest services and was told to email them.
I was...
My experience on Saturday ended up being surprisingly great considering I almost didnt have a bus to catch due to starline selling tickets at times with no service. The lady from sales and marketing...
More stupid shit with the bus to be told, but jn the end i got a ride up from a crystal staff in Enumclaw for getting sold bus tickets to a non existent bus. Should get vouchers as well. Time to...
I booked another ticket on the luxury coach with departure time of 10:30 from Enumclaw. Ill report back later on whether things work better this time. I would have gotten a 930 departure but in...
I will be trying the coach again, arrival 10:30 due to ride avaliability to Enumclaw. I do appreciate them having a service that helps someone like me who doesnt fill the lot with an extra vehicle.

Id like to see some weekday powder days, like today are. With almost a foot of fresh over night to fill in the gaps, along with a solid wind buff, it bet it was skiing really nice. Normally 75% of...
Whoever has been sacrificing their own children to our revered Ullr, I thank thee. Now who ever is in control of the people, I'd like to have a word with her.
When my bus finally passed the...
Id like to hit lot 4 on the 13th and 14th so if anyone has an extra seat in their car Id love to join the festivities.

Well, a bit of a thumbs down at the umbrella Overlord's bus liner. There was a significant lack communication with the bus's and crystal. Obviously the fsct that half of western washington was...
Traffic in Enumclaw led to a late departure from the expo center lot. Im on my way now. Apparently any extra space is given up for free first cone first serve. Pretty cool.

Unfortunately I cant take the bus from Enumclaw to crystal, but I will be booking the following Saturday (1/11), and I hope to do that most weekends.
Fullstack, if your family is all skied out...
Cute. Maybe next time you can tell a joke of a high brow than that of my children who find saying "baby butt" as hysterical.
I bought a few things at gerks years ago right before they closed in Issaquah.
My favorite shop is pro guide northbound. Great crew that works there. I have also spoken with the financial...
Coming not this weekend but hopefully the following one, I'll try to pay tribute to the umbrella Overlord by taking the luxury liner into Crustal on the weekends. I'd like to get 20 days in this...
Looking to buy a basic kit just to sharpen my edges (get rid of some rust with a gummy) and give my bases a hot wax.

Ask fullstack. He hit chair 6 while I was trying to find a table in the lodge by forest queen.
Some avy control was being done on Southback on a basin.
Thanks! I stopped by this morning and bought a oz of willys wonder for $75. Looks like pretty decent nugs. I wanted the cotton candy, but my wife who has to go in and buy it for me said that the...
Anyone know where I can find a decent 80 dollar ounce in the greater seattle area

The big umbrella was providing soft turns today for Fullstack, a friend of his, and I. Northway was a blast and so was forks. I choose the pursuit of beverage over chair 6, but no regrets there. ...
The outlook for Crystal seems a little bleak at the moment. Hopefully there is still some soft turns to be had tomorrow.

I personally thought the snow conditions top to almost bottom were pretty good. Some icey patches were the snow has been scraped off, but the snow on top was soft packed powder to chalky. I found...
I'm heading up there for a quick 2 hour session. I'm hoping for some soft packed powder but figure it will be a litany of different conditions

I was happy to see the bus service. I'll have to utilize it from Enumclaw. Not a bad deal at 20 dollars for a round trip. Unfortunately there is not a public bus to Enumclaw arriving before 8:50....
Nope, did my own research. I got to do something to fill my day. I may ski like your 12 year old niece but I have learned a thing or two in the past few years on the boards.

Looks like the Big Umbrella will be under Rainier's shadow during this event. Huge potential numbers on the SW of Rainier.

I was surprised at the luxury experience I was given by fullstack. We arrived right around 9, and the lots were starting to fill up. We kept driving past C and B, shortly thereafter arriving at the...
This weekend is looking like it could be pretty fantastic. 50 inches by Saturday with the storm still raging.

Very mediocre day at the big umbrella. Thanks to full stack I got to get my sea legs back. With how low tide it was I'm amazed my skis didnt end up any core shots. The bases on my on3p's seem to be...
