I’m confused by the Bryce Phillips / Evo hate…. He’s pretty low on the evil rating, especially considering the actions of other retail founders and RE developers…

Most of the lot sizes up there are pretty damn small too, esp over by Silver Fir.
It's a noticable change in the last 10 years with King Co. picking up another 330,000 residents imo. Used to be it would get super crowded with non-skiers looking for any place to sled just over Xmas, now it is every weekend

Mountain living still has the potential to be dangerous- this little guy got shook off Guye about a week ago.
Move upside and let the man go through...

Once the Sewer Plant is upgraded it will open up more development there's several hundred lots waiting. I find it odd that people move up to the mtns only to build some huge house that looks at the side of your neighbors never mind where the snow is going when the roofs start shedding

It's all good until it's in your hood, The Pass Life houses have been in litigation for multiple issues the top of the list is a shitty design for the PNW, wetland areas are slated to be built on, packing hundreds more people in who want Starbucks and other thing that many people wanted to move away from. Bryce is a decent guy in person but the developments that are coming are changing the neighborhoods into urban village look alikes that are out of character in the mountains

Follow the link to the King Co map vault to a plan for the Beaver Lake ski jump at West, there's some other cool maps like plans for the Sunset Highway

Lets not forget the explosion of Mountain Biking in the PNW over the last decade and the fact that Snoqualmie has the only bike park in the state set to open next summer. Just makes it more attractive. Live where you play, and it makes sense for folks who only need to be in the office part time to live at the pass, but commute down the hill for work as needed.

Agree. He's born and raised in the PNW, is a rippin skier himself, and if someone is going to monetize mountain life at places like Snoqualime there are definitely worse people out there to do so. Evo recently announced they are pledging $10 million over 10 years to women- and BIPOC-led nonprofits that focus on breaking down barriers to the outdoors for underrepresented communities (The Service Board, Brown Girl Surf, Bike Works, SHRED Foundation, Skate Like A Girl and Indigenous Women Outdoors).

Snow seekers, get ready – we are about to reopen, and stay open with expanded terrain as conditions allow. Winter is on! Daily operations begin this Friday.
We will be reopening this weekend with limited operations similar to last weekend. Beginning Friday, we will be open to pass holders with limited daily lift tickets available. No daily lift tickets will be sold this Saturday or Sunday. Monday, December 13, we will continue daily operations, opening up more terrain as Mother Nature allows

Looked like a heavy convergence zone over the pass all day.

In 1969 a guy who co-directed a ski school I was doing a seminar with took me to that (Crystal) hill and three of us shoveled our asses off til we had a 10' kicker and perfect in-run. It took a full day and couple hours the next but it was massive. We were using a pair of 220 cm Sohler Bluebirds with 2 grooves, world speed record type skis. My intro to Gelande jumping at 15 and to say I wasn't scared would be a bald-faced lie. Biggest front flip I've ever seen was off that thing and an uphill gust lifted the guy to close to 45' , tucked it over but landed on the flat run-out. Thought he was dead for a minute.

Things are looking promising for snowfall but apparently drivers suck just as bad as ever. Pass is closed for the 3rd time in 2 days.
