It was raining/snowing at snoqualmie this afternoon/evening, but as soon as you gained any elevation from the pass it was NICE snow. We went way up over by whatever that road is by the Hyak exit (sno-park or whatever).

Skied all over, lots of towing, hurt a girls knee..... what a fun night!

Our night (one of the best).....

Found lots of nice deep deep snow up in them thar hills:

But we got hungry, so we went and got some corndogs:

Then we picked up the girls and headed back up to the top where the deep snow was. But we managed (or kevin managed) to get NICE and stuck (granted, the snow was about 2 feet deep). Luckily we had our trusty snowblades to dig us out:

Kevy like snow, kevy like ski:

Cindy says "DAAAAMMMN its cold!"

So megan decides (or we decide for her) that she'd like to try skiing..... it took 2 people to strap her in:

Few seconds later.... not sure how she ended up like this...

Seaners like snow, seaners like ski

Also, officially I had the BEST ski run of my life this evening, me and Cindy skied from the top almost all the way down the road (until there was no more snow). It was so long, and when we would get ahead of Kevin and Megan in the car, it was pitch black, except for the eerie glow of the snow. Best night ever.

Tomorrow is gonna be epic.

just got back from crystal (early, i know... we left at like 2, it was cold and we were tired)

It was so fun though. Lots of untracked, heavy as it was (although it really wasn't that heavy, my skis are just too small). Just felt great to ski!

yeah we spent about 3 hours of lunch in the lodge.

We wanted to go up High Campbell, but when it finally opened the line was LONG, and it looked pretty windy up there, so we just stayed on Queens Run all day!!!!!!!

at the end we did a few runs over by quicksilver or whatever it is, cause nobody was over there. doing 3's off nothing, things like that. VERY dangerous high speed under kevin skiing (me going under him)

You guys eat at the new lodge?

You know the burritos they have there? They are from the same people that supply Taco Del Mar with their food. Hella good if the people making it aren't being morons.

And yeah, rock skis were not necessary.

I should give everything a nice base though, let it melt alittle, condense down, refreeze...

Less avalanche danger for sure

Yeah that'll happen.

It'll just depend on how warm it gets, hopefully not too bad.
