So, we found my Gopro with the Recco today. This is the first part of the wreck that made it abandon my helmet. The second part involved being body checked by a buddy, and that's when it came off.

Tell them I challenge them to a fight and/or battle of wits and/or philosophical debate for seat rights. I eagerly await their response~

Second week in a row they predict snow and then it changes to rain. If it fuckin rains again I am going to flip shit. This is horseshit. I fucking skipped skiing on sunday to get work done so I could go on a seemingly amazing thursday. La Nina my ass~

Could not have put it better. I have been watching the weather trying to determine which day to skip work and ride Stevens this week. Snow level forecasts keep going up and up.

Yeah I already saw that -_-. I knew it would be a lot of fun but I figured 2 ft of pow on a weekday would beat it easily. Maybe it will still come true. A man can hope~

Here's some ski gear I'm selling, and would rather it go to someone in the area:

I'll be up at Stevens the rest of the week, and most likely the weekend if it doesn't warm up too much.

Bump. I decided to skip class altogether on thursday so I still need a ride early in the morning. I can even meet you in monroe, but someone leaving from seattle would be easier. My car has no snow tires so I think it would be a little dicey for me to drive myself. Anyways, post, msg, whatever I need a fuckin ride!~

rain doesn't always equal slow park. Some of my favorite days in the park have been when its warm, either in the sun or rain. Just wax better and hope it isnt a complete soaker.

its the in between snow that fucks your speed.

Real wet and slushy is decently fast, and obviously cold is fast, but the most abrasive flakes are the ones that are just barely frozen.

To be honest, I wouldn't go. I got absolutely nothing going on tomorrow and I still won't be up there. Freezing rain on goggles, crunchy jacket and heavy snow made today a disappointment. I mean if you understand the conditions you might be able to deal with it but I had expectations set pretty high for today.

If your going to try to ski pow any time soon at stevens you will be disapointed, wet, heavy and slow pretty bad combo. It rained pretty good for half the day.

Today was some death schmooo atop great snow. Seriously bizarre skiing, with terrifying avie conditions inbounds and out. I watched a buddy get sucked into a chute below Nasty Gash after a 10" crown opened above him.

Fuck these rain events. They're messing with my head.
