No rain yet at silver, just fog

Yeah fog was thick today. Fell bunch of times on crumbling snow but totally fun!

visited 49N today; all snow gone except for a few north-facing patches up high;
i hiked the chair line, looking for smack, crack or cash; nada
sherman peak still looks good ......

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

after a week of 80+ temps and isolated rain,
sherman peak doesnt look so good;
whats left around here?
T-zer? L.O.?
call it?

If you head west Washington Pass is in slushy but good shape.

[spknmike]

Anything fun up on Stevens Peak is probably done for now - went up yesterday. Melting quick with 80's in town.

Selkirk crest should offer turns for awhile longer. Cabs are still good also.

Approach to Mt Adams on Saturday.

Skied the South West chutes at 12:30 in perfect corn conditions.

Never skied a foot 3000 ft descent with such a perfect, constant angle.

Getting out though, 2 hours of primo bushwacking. Skis on, skis off, about 19 times..

10 1/2 hours, tired today.

Hiked lookout twice last Saturday with some friends. Good snow to be had for the first turns of the year. About 2 feet at the top but very little at the bottom and obviously no base is set yet. They need another 2 feet before opening weekend.
Pow was fresh and we had blue bird skies.

T-zer says they open friday, 23rd ......
WROD?
how much is a pint at the lodge?

Is St. Regis basin typically covered up enough to be skiable on lookout opening day?

[2FUNKY]

Some spots yes, others, no.

[Bdog325]

I don't think any mountains other than Schweitzer will open this weekend. If they do it'll be Saturday. Although if they hold out to next week it looks like we will get a lot of precipitation and an epic opening day

How about the standard ESE run that you can access easily. Take chairlift, ski backside, skin for about an hour and drop in, but not from the top(big open run, further away).

If lookout opens on a 12-16” base like they generally do, that’s a hard no. The brush fuck when you get below 4800-5k would be ridiculous.

drove up to 49N to watch the rail jam and do a little touring.
to my surprise, chair 1 was up and running....
~16 inches on top,
Silver Ridge groomed to the bottom

FKNA! Chair 2 lift Line top to bottom with the hit off the cat track in your last pic is one of my favorite lines up there.
Don’t think I could have stuffed my hurt foot into a ski boot just yet. Hopefully by next weekend.

[SkiLyft]

Do it — God damn today delivered again.

2nd tracks down Tall Paul was delish!

Chair 2 lift Line top to bottom with the hit off the cat track

That looks fun, saw a couple people hit some bones in there so I stayed out. But as that fills in.

49N smooth, soft and fast on top,
rough, firm and fast down low....

repeated rumors about wolf sightings
around chewelah peak
anxiously awaiting WDFW's acknowledgment and
"management plan" .....

Crushed Silver Mtn today with SkiLyft and his non mag buddy. Really fun conditions. 4”new with deeper in wind loaded locations. Found some turns that were mid shin deep. Super fast, soft and karvy with excellent visibility. SkiLyft kills it and his buddy spent more time in the air than in snow.
Poked around under Wardner, 2’ of snow sitting on 8” of sugar to the ground. Scary AF. If this is a good indicator of the conditions in our area, when something goes it’s gonna go big and to the ground.

[Bdog325]

Also hit silver today. Great conditions and blue skis. I think I saw someone on some billygoats with 2FUNKY that was killing it

Anyone skiing Schweitzer the next two days? I’ll be there for the first time and would appreciate some local insight and having a few beers
