Probably going to be terrible tomorrow with the Banked Salmon event. Everyone should just go to Stevens or Crystal.

Stevens was all over the place with a wind affected crust over most of the mountain. The crust was breakable in most places with a few fun pockets here and there of deep goodness. Trees were rough with avy debris and icy mounds abounding. Made for interesting skiing. Backside had some freshies up high and wind crust most everywhere else. Not a terrible day but no where near as fun as last weekend's conditions.
In constant pursuit of the perfect slarve...

Almost a week late to the party, but 2/8 at Stevens was a ghost town pow day. I was able to ride mostly free refills from 11:30am - 9:30pm. Only shitty thing was freezing rain hit Stevens just below 5k ft between 6pm-7pm, which then triggered a series of natural avy's covering hwy 2 and then closed the pass and drastically changed my plans on getting home at a reasonable time.
However, our group was able to establish a high traverse during the night from the top of skyline all the way to the N-NE facing pillow line above meadows, which I've only been able to access from the 7th Heaven Cloud 9 chutes in the past. Pillow lines and untracked pow partially lit by the lights used for skyline and hogsback was pretty surreal.
Only bummer is I chose the wrong day to sleep overnight in my car at the resort though. Took me till Friday afternoon to get home...whoops. Spent most of the weekend working due to my mad pow disease induced negligence.

Freezing rain is back for a day or so. Telemetry is bleak but forecast calls for temp drop and snow. Gonna be a weird layer cake spring snowpack. Good news is that the glaciers 7K' and above have been getting lots of snow. Honey and I had a nice St. V Day, XC skiing Erling Stordahl trails followed by a few firm laps at Silver Fir.

Is it over?
I've been checking the forecast pretty regularly but it looks bleak.

Not great, but definitely not bleak. Friday will be pretty decent across WA. If you believe Wunderground's snow accumulation predictions, Monday/Tuesday will be even better.

This week's weather is brought to you by the fact that I'm on-call for work... Old Man Winter & I have an agreement, either snow in the city when I'm on-call or no snow anywhere at all

What about any agreements with Mother Nature? Can you give her a ring, and tell her to have a word with Old Man Winter, and to get off his fat ass and chill things out and bring us some more blower pow-pow..
Thanks from those of us not on call, and not working this weekend..."We don't beat the reaper by living longer, we beat the reaper by living well and living fully." - Randy Pausch
