what do you mean "next avy"?

do you realize how many occurred sunday just on the highway 20 corridor?  one fatality, two without fatalities, plus however many naturals that no one's seen yet.  and that was just one zone on one day.

i know two people that live in spokane (bellingham). they basically ski pow all day unless their in school or working. ones still in college and her boy friends basically finding local jobs on craigslist. her 55 year old dad skis pontoons and is still hucking cliffs. they ski Mt Baker of crouse, and the only tricks they know how to do they learned off of cliffs, Mt baker doesnt even have a terrain park because it would get burried...

im jealous of their life... basically... its amazing...

yea the roads couldnt be worse. We had melting temps yesterday then it froze again last night (black ice) then we got 4 more inches today. Put that all together and you have accidents mania


And to the dude who thought bellingham was spokane, you were pretty dang wrong haha. they are at least 400 miles apart, 5 hours drive. 2 ends of the entire state

By now they're supposed to be pretty decent but I haven't been there in a week.
Sicksticks, you gotta head north to Red if you want better terrain.

no, no, no, Red sucks, don't come here. In fact, the whole west kootenay's suck. Full of a bunch of smelly hippies and flat hills that get NO snow. Just go to Fernie or something.... RCR is so cool.

Baker gets snow? You realize it has a CRAZY inversion so all the cold stays on the coast, and only the warm rain clouds go to Baker right?

yea way to build a clientele epsecially in this industry. I told my ski shop and they are probably not gonna buy from you next season.
and schweitzer has gotten about 80 percent of this storm so you can go suck it
