Too much snow has created a serious problem

so anyone who lives in WA will understand this

Friday, Dec. 31, 2021, I had the best pow day of my life with @tri_photo and another cousin of mine. (tell him to join NS)

It was snowing at the base of Alpental, but bluebird up above chair 2. Absolute bliss - Pics included

Ever since then it's been nonstop precipitation in WA. Only problem is the temperatures have gradually risen from 18 to a solid 38 now. Avalanches shut down US-2 and I-90 for several days, Stevens is still closed to my knowledge, and Summit just re opened in time for a week of rain

If we didn't have so much snow I could have skied by now :'(

The struggle is real man. Any PNW skier knows those days when it dumps forever and you get so stoked for an epic pow day then it does something crazy like rain to the top.

It snowed 6 inches then rained again so I'm back to a 1 inch thick layer of ice!
