SNOW IN THE PNW 2018-19

I just want it to stay as it is and not go full Ikon/Epic.

That's not how duopolies work.

Boyne will cave in to one or the other of them soon enough.

Epic MR pow day right there.

Oh, I know. Hoping for Ikon in that case, but I'll enjoy my little hill for what it is until then.

Almost all of my friends who used to buy Summit passes have gone Ikonic this season. I'm guessing the Southern Resort is gonna be quite crowded this winter, I hope they have an umbrella big enough for all their new "locals" to hang-out beneath. Seems to me like weekdays will be even quieter on the padded seats as will weekends down the street.

Sweet, I got a summit pass for the first time in 4 years. Looking forward to short lines and fresh tracks.

Goodbye 2018-2019. You were lots of things, but most of all you were something

Better to be out of town then in town at home with small children.

Last year was the best on Saturdays I'd seen in almost 10 years at the Padded Seats. Between Epic sending their folks to Stevens and Ikon driving people to Crystal, Alpental was finally able to have some manageable crowds. I just want it to stay as it is and not go full Ikon/Epic.

Same with Sundays as well.

I like hearing that. At least until Boyne gets bought by Alterra and goes full Ikon.

OPSEC

Where is snowline around Leavenworth area? Hoping to ride Xanadu this weekend.

Judging by the Winthrop area I'd say you are good to go. Especially since Xanadu is south facing. But I'm sure a Leavenworth local could confirm.

It's good to go according to my local sources.

Great, thank you!

Hey all — found myself on the wet side this weekend. @cascadeluke and I are likely grabbing a beer in the Edmonds/Lynnwood area tomorrow evening/night. Anyone is welcome to join! Will post moar details a bit later. Post up if you’re interested.

I didn't see a 2019-20 thread so I will ask this here. I saw on the inter webs that Mt Baker was expecting up to 4 feet out of this storm. Does anyone have any local beta on how low the snow level is up there and if it was bare dirt at Heather Meadows or any sort of base before this last system? I am considering going touring up there on Wednesday or Thursday

Mission seems to keep on giving. Haven’t skied it myself, though. The early deep baker stuff though can be problematic on the steep rollovers.

you may need to check your beta, or I need to calibrate a sarc-o-meter? Is the internet skiing off the top of Baker again? Might be favorable above 9K.

I kind of figured that after looking into it. More idiot meter than sarcasm for me . Looking like Muir is the call.

Maybe enough to spin the lifts?
