SNOW IN THE PNW 2011/2012!

**wooley12** · 01-16-2012, 05:34 PM

Hey, Ski To Be. I'll be at the pass from wed through sat so lets meet up. Anybody else, if you spot an older guy in a silver helmet, orange jacket and going real slow with his feet apart it could be me. Don't run me over but say hi.

**Zesty Not Spicy** · 01-16-2012, 05:34 PM

Definitely planning on calling in sick either Wed or Thur. The new 191 Fat's need to be tested in some bottomless pow! If I'm lucky they'll close the roads while I'm up there...

Today was Epic. Started out at Hyak and then ran in to another alpentalic. Headed to Alpy and got in 3 bc laps, which were incredible. Whenever I ride the BC it makes me wish I knew how to ski. Skiers just have it so much easier getting out on the High T. Then I headed back to Hyak and had some fun runs ripping around on the groomers and popping off all the side hits.
Pretty much a perfect day.

Nash entrance is hairball.

What source do you find has the best forecasts for Baker? Just curious.

Flying up Friday. Stoked!

Just how shitty is the hotel at Snoqualmie pass?? Getting seriously worried about getting cockblocked by avy control Wednesday morning.

**bakerpow** · 01-16-2012, 11:52 PM

Smore stoke!

Toured around Yodelin yesterday. Stuck to the trees to avoid bad avy danger. Not the best video (or my best skiing), but it's my attempt at adding some stoke to this thread. I know the camera needs to be tilted up a bit, but it was my first time shooting with the GoPro. Will be adjusted next time.

May need a partner for Stevens on Wednesday...

Not that bad, but it's expensive for what it is. I'll be watching dot and heading up super early hoping to avoid the closure which will surely happen. Tempted to sleep up there in the truck tonight.

Too stoked to sleep right now. It's absolutely NUKING up there right now. And cold.

doughboyshredder · 01-17-2012, 04:44 AM

And, the pass is closed right now.

Fingers crossed.

DBS: Where can you truck sleep up there? Getting very nervous. It's biblical up there.

**jonesy** · 01-17-2012, 08:10 AM

I see everybodies up this morning getting ready to launch on a deep day. Baker prolly got hammared. Hood collecting goodness. The best is yet to come. Let's see some more ski porn on the thread.

**McScrundle** · 01-17-2012, 08:59 AM

I'm stoked for you guys who are getting after it today. Alpental in these conditions on a Tuesday would be unreal!

**Mofro261** · 01-17-2012, 09:07 AM

Not to be a downer, just a heads up re: NARSID.
We're talking 40" of unconsolidated snow since Saturday at the local hill and a helluva lot more on the way. Be careful in the trees.

doughboyshredder · 01-17-2012, 09:11 AM

I knew I should have left an hour ago.

Pass just closed.

Earliest opening 11 am.

Fools are gonna be slaying it with 20 other people today. Lucky fuckers.

Have fun, my friends.

I'm kicking myself for stopping in at work to check emails before heading up.
