Edelweiss Chair and beyond... Alpental , The valley and the rest of snocrummy

[goCougs]

Anyone know of any dog friendly indoor area at the pass? Looking for a spot to get out of the cold for a couple hours this weekend

[Buke]

To those that skied Alpental today, did they run Sessel? I'm coming up tomorrow and bringing a friend along who's new to skiing this season. I'm hoping that he doesn't have to take the shuttle over to west after getting crushed on Debbie's. Don't worry, he won't go anywhere near Chair 2.

Also, I can attest that the snow was really really good in the Kendall area today. We didn't find any obvious signs of instability but we were wary of steeper open slopes and due to time constraints and the wind, we didn't take the time to look further than hand shear tests on the skin track.

^ yes sessel ran today.

It was great opening day. 5 laps on Armstrong, 3 on the padded seats before lunch. 2 didn't start loading until shortly after 10, and the lower mountain was so fun I could drag myself away until then. Did international ever open?

Anyone else witness the incident on shot 6? Guy took a tumble through the rope line to the right of the entrance and was hanging upsidedown by his skis that were hung up in the little trees. Me and another guy stayed with him till ski patrol arrived... Had he come out of his skis he had a good 25+ foot drop below

Word on the street is... broken femur

Been sick (post Covid complications) and decided to skip the Alpy opener to ski with this guy. Just farted around Central and Silver Fir.

Woah, that had to be someone else unless homie fell when ski patrol was trying to get him on belay. The entrance was a lil sporty and I almost went for a ride... the two people who dropped in directly after me did, and went over the ice bulge.

Patrol said no Nash circa today circa 1:30 and I left shortly thereafter so can’t verify they didn’t change their mind.

Word to those with led feet further weighted with ski boots. Apparently the access road doubles as a speed trap……Watchout!

Fantastic lines Sirvic.

My son, for the first time ever, suggested we go skiing! Had a great morning laying down casual lines for him to follow at central. Soft and good!

A sick kiddo scuttled by day off skiing plans today. Hoping the -36 windchill keeps crowds away tomorrow. NWAC pics made it look like lowe nash at least ripped wall to wall, down to solstice crust... How was upper? I'd have to assume they're gonna wait a while to open egate?

Alpental was great today. I only had a couple hours to spare from work so didn't bother with the chair 2 line and just lapped stuff off of Armstrong and Sessel. Somehow managed to sneak a spot in lot 3 despite all others being chock full when I came through. So nice to be skiing dry snow. Hi to any anon mags I happened to share a chair with... I was in red pants, blue helmet and on deathwishes.

I wish we could tell you... but no Nash today either. Not even any visible ropelines put up yet either so I'd be doubtful about tomorrow morning too. Lame if you ask me. Day 1, I get it, but day 2? C'mon.

In other news, Shot 6 entrance was the gnarliest I've ever seen it. I don't get sketched out easily and it was super sketch. And not really worth it either, as the traverse tracks into it got very very high.

Best play was just fast chilly Armstrong laps. Nice cold snow.

Sounds like hitting the hyak opener early, and then heading across the highway later in the morning might be the play for me. New fit for me this year if anyone is around - green jacket, black pants on protests or mfrees.

I cant remember people using a rope to belay in to shot6 like that. i almost bobbled it jumping the rock on the high side on the last lap thru, still good turns across and into lower I at the end today.

Agree the "cant open Nash sorry no ropes up" is a little hollow when they then tracked out the new ch5 lift line.and old poma hill already. Lotta tracks down Nash but still no ropes up so expect more delays in opening tomorrow.

SVS, sick edit for the opener esp those shot6 turns, a few of those spots skied the same today with the refresh but also with 25F colder temps.



Fun snow for all.
