Didn't even think of that, I do know the power consumption is massive and very expensive as well.
Funny since all of the water used on the south side of the highway would go right back in the lake anyway
I'm relatively new here and know this isn't the first or last slow/no start to a year but seems with Epiconic resorts both nearby and with 4k' base elevations it is going to be tougher to maintain pass sales in the future.
Hopefully all this talk is for none after the weekend

Unfortunately I cant take the bus from Enumclaw to crystal, but I will be booking the following Saturday (1/11), and I hope to do that most weekends.
Fullstack, if your family is all skied out Sunday, I'd be more than happy to keep your passenger seat warm

I'll be getting my first day of the season in Saturday at Crystal if anyone wants to take a lap. Might be up Sunday as well.
First season since I moved here getting off the baker train. Should be interesting.

Snow in the PNW 2019-20
Skied Stevens today. Surprisingly decent shape given the rain event. Lots of wind loading and found some deep turns. Also found some of the hardest icy bumps I’ve ever skied at Stevens. Groomer coverage is getting better. Off trail was a mix of moments of joy mixed with moments of terror. Seventh Heaven skied pretty well...best turns of the year so far. After this weekend, we will be dialed. Patrol stated that the Backside should open sometime this weekend.
Also, tree skiing just isn’t there yet. We need more snow to cover the nasty crust and icy coral from the past few weeks.In constant pursuit of the perfect slarve...

Just came over Snoqualmie and it's still snow and 30*. Switched to rain a little before Denny Creek. Hopefully it will hold on overnight.

Snow in the PNW 2019-20
Feeler...
Anybody into testing some skis this winter? I'd leave them in a locker at Alpental, you pick them up and shred them for a lap...or all day...or several days, return them for all mags to enjoy, profit? I'm also looking for a few ski models for a photo shoot. I provide the beer, burgers, and other essentials, you provide your schralping and patience and get nice photos of you in return.
I normally crowdsource my TaBros and PortilloBros, but seeing as I just moved and have no AlpBros, thought the Alpental folks might be into shredding all sorts of skis for free. I'll probably be taking this junk show on the road to nearby hills if non-Alpentalics are into it.
This could be you...

I’d test some skis. More often at Crystal but will be on the padded seats semi regularly once running.

I'm always up for giving skis an Alpental beat down.

I see Sunday with a mandatory Sessel ski out?
The "significant" accumulations NWAC mentioned yesterday has changed to "moderate", looks like 1" of water so 10-12" by Sunday AM. I know that creek with the foot bridge is really exposed still so will need to move a lot of snow to fill that in.

Hard to believe it's 50+ in the passes, currently, with a solid 12-18" on the way for the weekend.
I guess we've had our sample season, might as well get on with the real thing
