Dang. I had a chance! Alas we're going to Dad's weekend at WSU to visit the mini-plug.

Anybody at the msp flick at 20 corners? HoMo hat. Looks like many dentists here.

[raypruit]

puttered around baker resort today. nice to get out but the only rideable stuff was pretty flat and none of the steeper pitches were filled in enough. surprisingly light snow for baker. knee to thigh deep boot pen. won't be long now

[RudyGarmisch]

So cold - never worn all my layers plus gloves and goggles in WA on a tour until today

Global cooling?

Global cooling?

Let's try not to make a political ruckus in here please.

Holy shit the whole of Puget Sound was at Crystal today. The full array gaiters, snowshoes, snowboard carriers, and skin tanglers on display.

Very thin up high, cores were shot. But powder was skied mid mountain and off the back.

Absolutely fucking dumping when we left GW. Trying to clear snow off my truck and it was catching me up as fast as I could brush it off.

17/18 is on.

Got caught on Saturday behind multiple car spin out on Chinook just before it closed. Complete clusterfuckage.

Guy right in front of me in a Wrangler towing a small trailer hit his brakes too hard when he saw Rangers lights at the scene and did a perfect slowmo 540. Jack knifed the rig trying to turn around in the width of the road and slid off into highside culvert. If he'd gone other way he'd have ended up in the old growth a couple of hundred feet below the highway.

Ranger waived me through the carnage after commenting on my NWAC cap. Rest of the line of traffic he held. Proves your free hat with a donation pays dividends.

Stevens should be awesome next weekend. I'd highly recommend going there.

Never seen as many turn earners there before. But should be plenty left. Still very thin though.

Everybody better be out skiing today so we can have a new thread before the next storm rolls thru on Wed.

Aha! Exciting

[BeardedClam]

Baker had moguls in the BC and i crossed 3 tracks touring inbounds today. If only it could be like that all winter

[CascadeLuke]

BOOOM

[Buster Highmen]

Cumulative water in the next week:



With low land temps in the high 40s to 52ish.

[TAFKALVS]

Alto, we know you got out skiing. Let's get that thread going, eh?

[PNWbrit]

A one slash pic with story would suffice.
