yes... it seems as though it is that time of year my children! snow has fallen at stevens pass today, thus inspiring the 06/07 snow watch thread. some may wonder why now and not earlier. well you see, its all about patients young ones. i knew if i had posted it back in the begining of october like last year hearts would be broken.

it was so heavy and untable, i went down this chute thing through the trees on the top right of carona bowl, and it all ripped out on me, ending with e falling off the ten foot rock drop at the end, fun times. the backside was uterly worthless once you got out of the trees.

Finally get to go skiing this week, thank god. What an awful weekend of SAT Proctor Classes. I think I'm going up Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and possibly Monday. I might not want to fight crowds on MLK day, so we'll see if the snow's good enough to convince me...

I was shocked. We all stayed at a buddies cabin in Skykomish and it was dumping snow all night and still when I went to bed about 2:30. I wake up at 8am and hear heavy rain, I was pissed. But thought itd still be amazing at Stevens but I got there and it was heavy as shit. Sucked ass.

This weekend is lookin sick but I wont be here to see it. Going to College Weekend at Whistler which is gonna be sick. But a part of me would rather be at Stevens with my homies skiing pow in the sun. I have a feeling Whistler is gonna be a zoo with asians and tourists everywhere(yes i know ill be one but still). Plus the Hawks game is on sunday, theres no chance in hell im missing the game.

to heavy rain or snow north to south Tuesday evening.
Moderate to heavy orographic snow showers at lowering
snow levels heaviest Stevens to Snoqualmie Tuesday night.
Light to moderate snow showers heaviest Stevens to
Snoqualmie Wednesday morning. Light snow showers ending

^^^^^I know all the pilots in that video well.

That is all Boeing flight test footage. Crosswinds are very good fun, we do a lot of testing for cert. Often we have to fly to wherever crosswinds are, back in October-ish I had to fly down to Texas one day because it was the only airport in the country with sufficient crosswind. I got to fly the plane on the way back though.

flying is easy there is nothing to run into at 10,000 + feet. landing is the only real hard part. and remembering what you say to air traffic control

I still had to come into work today though, lame.

Today at Stevens was AMAZING. Bout 14 degrees, blue skies, deep powder and it was dry as fuck. Definitely some of the best snow ive ever skied. Demo day was going on as well, got to ride soem Mojo 90s which I loved. Those things are absolute tanks, they plow through anything. I think ill get them next season.

^^ Thats tight your still skiing the leftovers from Tuesday night and Wendsday. It's cool that you can find fresh a couple days after the storm. Stevens was off the hook on wendsday in case anybody missed it. Choking on snow equals a great powder day.

I think there was more new snow at Boeing Field this morning then there was at our place in Kirkland. Yesterday the roads were completely clear here at work, while still all snowy at home, today its SOLID snow down here, and people are idiots.
