2 of the 4 open lifts at @StevensPass today were evacuated in separate incidents. No injuries reported. https://t.co/HhjNSk89BX

Nobody here was at Steven's yesterday

Holy Mother what a storm. Stuck in Seattle, can't get home to eastside

Sorry to hear that. Looks like it could be a long one:

Extreme weather has created conditions so hazardous that it's too dangerous for our crews to be in the mountain pass areas. Because of that, Snoqualime, Stevens, White & Blewett passes will not reopen until at least Friday & possibly not until Saturday.

At least we’re set for base at Mission. Rain in the lot transitioned to all snow by midway. Very heavy.

Better get any groceries you need now. The shelves are going to be bare soon.

[oftpiste]

whoa... spent years there long ago and never saw anything like that.

Ellensburg checking in... The skiing in the local hills will be good if we can get there.

Wenatchee averages 27” snowfall per year. My folks now have exactly 27” in their driveway (in E Wenatchee) since yesterday afternoon!

[jackattack]

25” overnight at the windy hill. Came in as blower but by 10am it was fully upside down concrete. Still worth it to put in the work.

[BeardedClam]

Pretty sure both those runs have longer sustained vert than anything in bounds at baker

Greenwater today

[greenmachine]

i never understood why weyerhauser wasn't hired to trim that stuff back on 410 in the summer. just take the trees down within 10 feet of the road.

[PNWbrit]

This in the Ranch neighborhood but I hear 410 is just as bad.

Although sounds like it just reopened.

Hearing from lifers in the ranch that they've never seen anything like it there.

Yeah this is incredible. Took several hours to dig out this morning. Manastash went, but it's waist deep with no base. I made like, 4 turns and straightlined the rest to avoid walking.

Edit: oh yeah, rain crust face shots.

Vantique, Legacy and Outback hiding under the snow. I dug out the Outback and tried to back it out but the snow was setting up by then. Parking lots have been plowed now.

Ha.

[wickstad]

Digging out the Outback.

You didn’t miss anything at the Ridge.

I’m loving these Wenatchee burial shots. A friend there said the skiing was good last night before the warmup!

Not much of a base in the Methow so it was a wallow. I was skiing on a set of DPS 99s which I think I got from you 5 years ago?

Is that 542 any day since december 20th?

Yes that may have been! Enjoy that valley skiing while you can.

You win. I very much appreciate a good comeback I'll still take an untracked wildcats, nash, or exterminator over anything in bounds at baker.

Holy broken trees batman


Also let it be known that caulfield offered me a hand since I'm stuck. Ended up not needing it. Old Pa sprung for a hotel in seatac for a few days.

Gotta say I'm concerned about my outback at the Wenatchee airport. Might get crushed.

After 4 years patrolling at the northern dead end, I'd still take a quality, dead quiet, day off the high T or shuttle service. AC morning at Baker < no crowds high T. But again, thats a quality, not quantity issue.

WSDOT just said I90 closed until Sunday. Crystal about to get hammered on the weekend.
