Snow in the PNW 2019-20

[pipedream]

The rain's all but stopped. Unfortunately it coincided with the band starting at the bar. Decisions were made not to dry out

A small umbrella that folds up small comes in handy

Thought that was Matt but the skis are too short

perhaps he's joined the dark side.

My mouth tastes awful and my head is pounding. Apparently it's really windy & rainy outside but nobody's here so on goes the fishing gear

Beautiful March day on lower mountain Alpy. Smoooooth. Top is more Januaryish

I’m starting to think that Hyak becoming a Seattle suburb will coincide with the downfall of skiing as we know it.

Let the lock down commence!

Lower Alpental skied fine with soft slushy snow and no crowds. Never made it up 2 after it opened around lunch. Dried out around 11, but was completely drenched before that. Am I the only one worried about the viability of Alpental staying open after this next rain event? I've never seen the creeks/waterfalls running like this in February. The creek from Eisfallen going over to the top of lower Armstrong is going to break through pretty soon, cutting off access to the lowest part of the mountain. Not sure they can repair that without an extended period of below freezing temperatures. I'm sure there are some of you longer timers that would know better than me and have seen worse.

“Good for the base” didn’t really occur after 10am at Central. Soft laps with the kids and much smaller than typical crowds made for a pleasant Saturday.

It's the most water I've seen at Alpental but there were two times in my past when it was worse. I don't spend time worrying about it and ski what's on the ground.

[pipedream]

I'm a little more worried about Hyak

[pipedream]

I haven't seen this much excitement about 4" in a long time. The snow skied better yesterday when it wasn't crust, but the sunshine is a nice touch.

Slopes are empty lots are full.

Not at Hyak. Good lord, we're overrun with kids today, lines have been some of the longest I've ever seen and it appears that nobody gives two shits about the Superb Owl

How crusty is it beneath the dust? Was planning to get in a night session Tuesday or Wednesday.

Decided to dig some trail today in nice, sunlit forest.

No joke. Contributed to the cluster by bringing the slackey clan to the yak yard.

Made a big mistake thinking today would be only moderately busy. Whoops....as of 8:45 all 3 summit exits had 1/2 -1 mile backups including hyak.

Fun sports action on the other side of the road!

Definitely have your eyes on that bond between the rain crust and what’s immediately above it before the rain hits later in the week: crust—>grapuel—>duff—>dry, cold night might lead to potential bullshit with more new on it.

Very crusty at Alpental today....trafficked areas will be solid ice with perfectly timed soft mogul tops. For some reason though, maybe it was the sun and the short lift lines after 11 .....I enjoyed skiing it.

It's gonna load up and flush pretty quickly. I'm more concerned with the coral reef and debris.

Standard issue mediocre sunny weekend day around here. Not enough dust on the crust but better than none. Nice views though and some superb people-watching

Who's all in N Idaho? Hooking up with friends who rented a house on Lake Coeur d'Alene Monday (or Tuesday). Any locals want to show me
around and make some turns? Most of the peeps I'm staying with are content to make turns on blue groomers all day. I need to explore more and will be at Schweitzer and Silver thru Friday or Sat.
