I just got back from Snoqualmie, where the roads became a show off competition of who's the worst driver in the state. Unreal what I saw driving up there today, a guy unable to slow down his Jeep Liberty without sliding all over the off-ramp. Almost got hit about 3 times on the drive back home. Anyways, on to the good news, just checked the forecast for the remainder of the weekend...looking well, good.

You will love it there man. I just got home from my trip there and it took us 9 hours to get there with horrible conditions and damn Canadian drivers suck ass and are stupid as fuck. Saw a guy passing people in shoulder in a blizzard and he tried to pass a cop too. Cop turns on lights to stop him, what does he do? Passes him anyways and gets pulled over.

But they got some amazingly light snow there and a decent park.

So, tomorrow. I know I'm going up to enjoy the three feet of fresh from today and tonights accumulation under cloudy and then clear sky. I'd love to save on gas, so anyone wanna carpool? We can use my car, but as I dont have ski racks, it can only fit 3, 4 at most.

Seriously, fuck today. Chest deep snow down the backside, shit got all up in my face and crap, I couldn't see in some spots and that was dangerous. Also, fuck skiing untracked trees in the same amount of snow. Fuck the blue skies, made everything too fucking pretty, and fuck Grant and peeps hiking from Tye. Jesus Grant, you had to gay it up with that switch 5 off the cliff, didnt you? Fuck this deep snow shit, seriously.

Man I was loving the backside too. Cept when I ate shit off a cliff and had to dig for skis and attempt to put them on in chest deep snow. I also ate shit real bad when i jumped off a mugul into a real steep terrain and hit an unseen lip at full speet, flew 30 feet inverted and barely avoided slamming into a giant log protruding across the terrain. My buddies said they thought I was gonna die but instead I landed in a tree well and thanked god that I was alive.

All in all though, PHENOMENAL day.

So ready for this weekend. Prolly gonna miss Sat tho since the Hawks are in the playoffs yknow. I got some brand new Head Mojo 90 186s that should be here anyday and cannot wait to tear it up on those this weekend. It was interesting rockin a pair of 172cm urban triplets down at Hood this past weekend in 2 feet of powder.

On a side note the GF decides she wants to go up with me and my friends this weekend... I told her to bring a friend so I can do my own thing with these conditions and my new skis that I gotta put to the test haha

For some mysterious reason, Sunday wasn't half bad.

There was a window for a couple of hours where the light was excellent, and the park was empty, and the jumps were delicious.

After lunch that all changed, but the point being the best park of the day was not spoiled in the slightest.



But the west lots were full before 10am, so that's a bit ominous.
