Tonight's commute back up made me really consider my life choices. But traffic dissipated after truck town and there was only the slightest skiff of slush once I got off I-90.
Morning could be different. Or the same. Hard to say, but the plows were out prepping just in case

Baker has announced for Thursday. Still waiting for that Blackcomb Friday official announcement.
I'm so hot right now!

Crustal opening Wednesday.
Stevens hinting at a Weekend opening. Looks like they are track packing the mountain in anticipation of more snow.
Nothing official from Mission but the webcam images make it very apparent that they are gearing up to open. Webcam showed cats track packing the upper basin. Also shoveling the midway deck.Last edited by Leavenworth Skier; 11-14-2017 at 11:44 AM.

Yeah but choosing to drive backroads through pitch-black eastern Bellevue which were littered with debris only to sit in gridlock to get on I-90 because drivers don't know how to handle a traffic light-controlled intersection when the power is out had me a little worried. The combination of sideways rain and heavy traffic made for sketchy conditions because you never know when the person next to you is gonna hit a patch of standing water and hydroplane on their bald tires. The passes fared much better than the lowlands yesterday, nowhere near as much wind and far less shit to come down with it. Plenty of rain, but that's expected... I was happy to have power when I got back up here unlike most of my friends in the city.

Snow in the PNW 17-18: Dropping!
Never lost power in snoqualmie but now have 4 snapped fence posts. Shit.
Also have a 6x8 fence panel in my yard, blown through the air from 2 houses away.
Welcome winter!

I assume there will be no a no uphill traffic rule in place too.
yep
Uphill Travel:
Starting Wednesday, Crystal’s Uphill Travel Policy will be in effect. You must check in with patrol if you plan to travel uphill. If the lights at the bottom of the Gondola and the bottom of Chinook are flashing, there’s no uphill travel allowed within our ski area boundary. If the lights are off, check with patrol to find out the approved uphill routes for the day. When the lights are flashing, this means that Avalanche Control is underway. We will be doing avalanche control on Wednesday, which means uphill travel within our ski area boundary will not be allowed.
Also, now that the Uphill Travel Policy is in effect, there will be no more hiking/skinning into Southback, which includes all of A-Basin and part of Silver Basin into the cat track below the Airstrip. The section climber’s left of Three Way Peak, including Joe’s Shoulder and Triple F are outside of our boundary and we do not conduct avalanche control there. The climber’s right side of Three Way Peak is within our boundary, and we will be conducting avalanche control in this area. Hikers and skinners must head left from the cat track below the Airstrip. Look for the sign that tells you to “turn left here,” which heads towards Upper Henskin Lake. Anyone hiking or skinning along the Airstrip will be trespassing. Only those with knowledge of the terrain and area should venture into Silver Basin.Last edited by PNWbrit; 11-14-2017 at 04:50 PM.

I somehow missed the Summit Parks update but it looks like there are quite a few changes coming into play this season:

Most notably you'll no longer need a park pass to send fat -> flat off the the Berlin Wall @ Acres

Just heard of two missing snowboarders

Stevens was fun today. But as the day went on very heavy below about 4800, too heavy for my 95 underfoot early season skis. Scoped surprisingly decent coverage on the back.
Hogs running on and off to transport trollers setting up the hill.

Making the trip to Baker for opener. If half of that forecast materializes it will be an amazing start. So stoked to go straight to the new pow sticks with little concern of damage and see how these Q's ride... giddy-up horsey's!!
