Snow in the PNW 2019-20

[pipedream]

Isn't a 15 min drive in Seattle about a mile?

There is also a dive shop on Westlake that will do it. Although after just realizing my gauge was at 0 psi when I checked this weekend I might try somewhere else this time

That's where I got mine filled during the extended pass closures & power outages that prevented me from shredding pow in that epic Dec. 2015 storm cycle. Unfortunately, it seems that they've closed (Google Street View indicates the place was called "Discount Divers").

Seattle folk, where do you get your air canisters filled? I've called mulitple scuba shops, evo, rei, feathered friends etc. A few of them did CO2 but none of them did air.

ProSki on Aurora or in North Bend

And then snow! Thursday looks tricky for Snoqualmie, but medium/long range looks colder.

You can’t use co2 in your airbag?

What's an airbag?

[XavierD]

I believe evo is now filling air canisters.

Distant cousin to the wind and douche bags.

Hopefully someone thinks it's a grocery bag they can put their head in.

While we're on the subject of local stores. Shout out to Gerks in Issaquah. Visiting relative's kids got boots from them before Christmas. Was very impressed with how they dealt with two shy, indecisive teenagers the results were comfortable happy kids on snow.

I never thought much of their previous location next to I90 (or their one brand only bike policy) and would never previously have bought boots from them. The new store is a cool space and Dru Bru on tap makes boot molding quite pleasant.

I didn't ask about filling airbags.

I picked up a pair of Atomic Hawx from them last night.

Haven't been there in years, where is the current location?

Congrats on the new boots, I've heard good things!

In other news, convergence zone fail at the pass this AM.

Wifey got me a snow cat trip for Xmas with Cascade Powder Cats on Feb 23rd. I’m solo getting put in with a group so if anyone here is going that day I’ll ski ya there.

The development north of I90 where Lowes/Pet Smart/Cinnebarre is.

Gerks are great folks... when we moved up here, we were driving into the area for the first time, on the 90 about to enter Issaquah when my 5yr old started getting sick. I veered into the old Gerks lot, they werent even open yet and ran out to see if they could help. I've tried to pop in from time to time ever since. I also don't like their single bike supply policy, tired of all of the #iamspecialized shops, but if that is what they need to do to stay in business and get kids fitted for ski boots, so be it!

Gerks is great they styled me out when they had a issue with a binding remount

[XavierD]

Another plug for the folks at Gerks. Andy and Kevin are great. Last time I checked they started carrying Santa Cruz bikes too if you’re into VPP.

[AK47bp]

I went to the new Gerks and they were so proud of the old bank vault, took me in it to show it to me. Funny because I was just buying my daughter some gloves on sale and don’t know them at all.

I bought a few things at gerks years ago right before they closed in Issaquah.

My favorite shop is pro guide northbound. Great crew that works there. I have also spoken with the financial authority in my family and it seems like once tax return comes around if there is still avaliabliity, I plan on taking the aiare 1 course through them.

I'm pretty excited. I also will be drastically degapering my skiing here soon with the purchase of contacts (found a way to avoid having to due a new prescription appointment, and just buy s box. Skiing with just cheap glasses on a snowy day is not my ideal way to ski those conditions.

Gerks isn’t closed

Gerks isn’t closed

If only someone had posted location of new store.

They’re up north now.

I thought you could get a GED while you’re in the cross bar hotel so you can navigate through life

took my daughters to do some night skiing at West to my surprise the lifts were stopped and the lights were off I guess they close because of the rain I don't know the snow report 236-1600 said that there would be night skiing so anyway we hiked up and made some made the most out of it there's a couple hundred people sledding but disappointing to say the least whatever base they had is almost gone

Lame that the phone snow report was wrong. They posted on Twitter that they were going to be closed at around noon today. Delayed opening planned for West tomorrow at 10am-5pm with potential for night skiing if they get enough snow.

The two-year-old was screaming ski ski ski as I stuffed her in her carseat we'll have to try again later

The new Summit app that they launched last week has been pretty good at notifying about lift openings and the closure today, it probably gets updated at the same time as their twitter page
