Snow in the PNW 20-21: We may have Corona but Corona doesn't have us!

The sixth one

Seconded. I can feel how cold that looks. Amazing photos. Helluva way to redeem your season after some back luck earlier.

Nice pics, Scott, wow. Snow is still so smooth. Hope it holds up a while longer.

Lovely weather after the holiday weekend!

I gave my soft water bottle “death by crampons” at 11k and finished the climb on .5 liter and my buddy broke a pole blue angeling back into camp, but a terrific outing with better than expected skiing!

Did a couple of laps on Naches Peak this morning. Pea soup clouds, 36 degrees, occasional sleet but the snow was pretty good and the place was empty so can't complain too much.

Some mega slide carnage on the road too:

New snow was a little sticky.

Got it just in time- sticky wasn’t far away.

Very nice work!

I have a similar pic to that one, maybe the same spot from ~2008. Amazing how those leg-size pieces of wood end up tumble washed and stripped of bark.

Saying hello from the Wasatch with a VERY random request. I'm looking at restoring a 1982 Ski Nautique that is located in Edmonds, WA. Before I drive out there from UT with my truck, I'd love to get a compression test done on the motor (and make sure it passes the eyeball test otherwise). But, I'm having a hard time finding boat mechanics who will answer their phone / aren't booked for weeks out.

Anybody got any recs for a mechanic who might be able to check it out for me? Alternatively, anybody on here got a set of compression gauges and willing to go drop by the seller's place to do a quick test for me? Our beer sucks down here but I'll happily compensate with some of your local beer and lots of good karma.

Thanks!

I live nearby and would go check it out but just got out of surgery yesterday. I would think long and hard about buying a saltwater boat as opposed to a fresh water one

Id be more concerned with the floor and the stringers.

Details are sparse, but appears commercial guides are the ones pushing for the temporary huts, with the idea that you must be commercially guided to use them, which is lame if true. I do like the idea of structures that can be removed after each winter as a way to mitigate impact. I think this would even be allowed in wilderness areas, so long as you haul up the materials by human or horse (I believe all of the proposed locations are in wilderness areas).

I've always thought North Twin was one of the best spots in WA for a private backcountry hut as there is private land (timber land), with roads already built, way up high just a stones throw away from the wilderness boundary there, with lots of north facing terrain accessible.
