Where can one access some snow to build a kicker?
Also is there any good (ie safe, ie trees) BC access north of I90 thats not off one of the closed passes.

yeah NWAC basically says unless you've bombed it four times, ski cut it thrice, and successfully had an elephant jump twice on  your rutschblock.....don't ski it

Going out into the BC right now would be like shoving a red hot iron into a Tyrannosaurus Rex's asshole. You would get fucked over so incredibly fast.

Really really sketchy out there.

I am so sick of Snoqualmie being closed. Really annoying, although it is probably raining up there anyway.

I set off a 6 inch deep slab skiing at Crystal on Friday, and that was in an area that had been blasted that morning. As it went down the hill, it uncovered this scaly head that was like "RAAAAAAAWR!"

And then it took a chunk of my ski.
