you would be wrong

all of it wont go, but when you get snow levels that might exceed 6,000ft with a lot of precip, snow melts, and it melts fast.

A friend and I need a study break today, so we packed up the Batmobile and busted up to Snoqualmie. This is over on West.

thats kind of my point man

the precip in the coming couple of days wont be snow, it'll be rain. coupled with warmer air temps, it melts stuff pretty quickly.

There are boxes everywhere, the one we hit was already in position to be hit, so it only required a jump instead of a crew to get it into position.

Some of the features still need a bit of loving though, I see rust and busted panels on a lot of them. A good powergrinder session and some black enamel will make them good as new.

Debbie Downer.... Remember what ski areas are in washington then think about it. ie BAKER can get pooped on pretty hard! 3 feet might be here sooner than you know it. I still have hope.

could happen
but high snow levels and then high pressure doesn't usually mean copious amounts of snow.
id rather just let it happen than to wish to hope that it might.

Oh hell no. It is not my fault, in fact I saw God smile (in a "I'm going to bring the snow" sort of way) when we went up to Snoqualmie.

One way or another it's going to happen. maybe not this tuesday but sometime soon. Either way I hope to ski on tuesday.  I might end up hiking stevens again just to get out if nobody in WA opens next week.
