I wish I was at Mission yesterday
I spent the morning belaying a piece of furniture down the hillside and the afternoon trying to walk the stiffness out of my legs from Saturday's tour to the top of the padded seats. The golf course got a light groiming today - should make for even quicker self-powered laps. If the forecast pans-out, we should be in business region-wide in the next 8-14 days

Posted this in the Oregon thread too... the wife and I signed up a few weeks back for an avalanche rescue refresher course @ Stevens Pass for this Sunday. She has to travel for work now, so she is missing the class, and the registration fee is non-refundable. Anybody interested in taking her spot?

I feel like with the late start to the snow season a lot of people are going to be itching to get out and make some aggressive terrain choices this coming week. Looks like the storms are going to come in fairly cold, so i wouldnt expect the hoar layer to get smushed this coming week. Probably gonna be pretty darn spicy out there, but we wont know till NWAC stops studying snow on a mirror and gets out in the field next week to study snow on a mountain.
It will be interesting to see how Patrol handles this in regards to terrain opening - do they bomb stuff to try and get it open but risk having all the snow slide off and have to close it back up, or do they keep it all closed till next weekend in the hopes that the layer heals itself and wont all slide off during control Saturday morning? I've unintentionally managed to hit the Powder Bowl opening at Crystal the past two years within the first 10 chairs, and that face seems like a prime candidate to get all bombed (Gasexed?) off before they get a chance to open it.

Sometimes the gondy is open for Green Valley access and Lucky Shot (below PB) is closed. I can't think of a time since the gondy that REX has been open without Lucky Shot being open.

BC access policy is largely the same with a requirement for check in @ patrol before skinning "in area", access closed if light is flashing.
Last year, they disbarred people from South back before it opened, this year so far, it's been open, but the rain really hammered everything below 6k.
It will be interesting to see if the customer service tone changes.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski
