Replying to My mount washington Rave.

Well here it is. I was supposed to go last month to Utah to do some filming, Chucky was supposed to fly in from Big Bear and meet up with me halfway through the trip. Everything looked like it was going to be an incredible, productive week.

Then on the saturday I checked the weather... we had been watching a big storm brewing on the pacific shelf that carried loads of promise for major precipitation on the western seaboard.
Unfortunately.. on Saturday the Jetstream took a BIG turn up.
It was raining at altitudes about 10,000 ft in the Cottonwood, in fact it was raining all the way up to northern Washington state.
Everything was ruined.. Even Mt. Hood which was our fallback was going to shit.

What to do?.. Well I frantically looked up all the locations above the warm southwesterly flow for snow.
I found Mt. Washington.
Yes.. I have known of it's existance, but due in part to its small presence and the fact that I live in Whistler.. I failed to ever check it out.
Well it was dumping there.
So we scrubbed the stateside and thought we would spend two days on the Island and then chase the storm into the Kootenays.

Two Days turned into a week and a half.
We bought season passes.
This little gem of a mountain is almost an undiscovered paradise. It was mind numbing to see so much untouched available powder UNDER THE LIFT.
Yes.. there were "busy" days.. when school busses full of kids came.
But in one and a half weeks.. I think I made ten turns that were not in knee or waist deep powder.

Don't be fooled though.. this is not some silly little bunny hill either.. if you look you will find some outrageous lines, with ridiculous levels of exposure accessible from a lift.. and returning to a lift.
it's all just steps away.
I will add some pics.
