Does anyone have suggestions for solo touring up at Summit in bounds? I just want to get some time on some new skis before being at WSSM in the afternoon. I was thinking of just skinning up at Summit West or Hyak, but perhaps Alpy would be better? Never been up in the resort during operating hours.

Check the operating hours and tour up when closed if they aren’t grooming. Hyak is closed during the week so usually a good option. I wouldn’t tour up Alpental when open. I see people touring up West when it’s open all the time, probably central too.

Well there weren't any responses when I started typing this....
Alpental is closed to uphill travel during operating season (and ~2 weeks on either end). Hyak has more interesting terrain than West, but it could be harder to avoid downhill skiers. Definitely stick to the signed uphill routes at either if you're going when the lifts are spinning.kittyhump.com - Fund Max, Cat Appreciation, Bike

Alpental uphill is only allowed during operating hours. This is for Sunday morning so it's gonna be busy wherever. Sounds like Summit Central / West are the best options. I've been up Hyak and Alpental when they are closed / pre-season and totally see how it's hard to avoid downhill traffic during operating hours.

Snoqualmie also recently changed the uphill policy for non-alpy spots too.
There are designated routes you need to follow for uphill travel during business hours for the Snoqualmie side.
For Alpy, you need to check in with Patrol first, and recently they've only been allowing folks up to the top of 3, but not beyond.
My two cents: show up to West, Fir, or Hyak at 6am or prior and get your laps in before they start spinning lifts. Then grab a coffee while watching the hoards show up.

This is my go to strategy. I prefer hyak for no reason in particular.
Skiing didn't suck today. I didn't make it up till after 11... Lines were longer than expected but I forgot the kiddies have mid winter break. Skied nash twice and then fled to central for shorter lines which could be had at triple 60. Little heavy but fun turns all over the mountain.

fuck that noise.

It’s dumping rain up at the pass and I-90 will be shutdown at 6pm sharp overnight for mitigation work.

Saturday was awesome.
My read of the forecast is that this rain event is just a brief intermission. Things look really good for later in the week.
I'll be really curious to see how this rain impacts snow stability. Maybe we'll get the flush that we need and by next weekend we won't be so worried about the pesky high avalanche danger lurking 7' deep in the snowpack. Time will tell, but it would be nice to be able to venture onto bigger, more exposed terrain.

Yesterday there was a wide spread natural cycle right around 10am as the snow level increased, but it was only entraining the new snow from the last ~24 hrs. Kind of hard to see but everything in this pic up by the face fractured 12-18", 700'+ wide and ran all the way.
Curious to see if any heavy loading of cornices or the harder rain today cause slope failures or forest remodeling.Move upside and let the man go through...

Standing by for gnarly avalanche footage or reports of any above mentioned forest remodeling

Big bombs go BOOM!!! tomorrow.
Trying to finagle a day off on Friday. We'll see how that goes, and if the pass even opens to let employees up for Friday.
