i know its a little early to be posting this, but they keep saying on the news that there is a possibility of snow on stevens pass, so why not start off early this year?

grant, you were at snoqualmie? we were at alpental.

good GOD I have NEVER seen it that crowded... literally ALL of the parking lots were full, it was nuts. But then at 11... everybody dissappeared? There was no line!

short but AMAZING DAY! Lots of untracked to be had, spent most of our time in snake dance again, and it still amazes me. And of course, we mustn't forget felsen, haven't skied that in like 4 years, oh it was so fun!

Probably shouldnt be talking about Canada in here, but family made a trip to Sun Peaks over weekend. Lightest snow ever...first tracks. It was only in 1 foot and I missed out quite a bit at Baker, but I was much gladder to ski an uncrowded hill. Besides, not like I havent skied pow at Baker before.

hahahaha - It might actually be pretty fun to light up all the gapers and "bad" park managers with a paintball gun. Well, maybe not the park managers, they might catch up as your riding away.

From King5 Site:

"Snow showers Tuesday morning in Western Washington gave way to sunny skies in the afternoon, and the National Weather Service says the coldest temperatures in at least a decade are expected through the weekend."

lowest in a decade? dangg

god, with the sun I was SOOO fricking hot at Hyak today. And it was EMPTY! Like seriously nobody there.

Too bad my sister only lasted 5 runs, its 1:30 and I'm already home. And we started skiing at 10:30, bleh.

Jesus, i went night skiing at stevens last night. I havent been that cold ever i think. Getting into the car after was atrocious, the wind sucked every bit of warmth away. I think it was -8 F when we left around 10. Such a nice pipe up though, all cut evenly and nobody skiing it.. or anywhere else for that matter.
