I'm outta here! No snow to be had in CO and a very fortuitous business trip to the Seattle area means getting some strange in the near future. Will be skiing Jan 9 and 10 prolly at Alpental unless any nearby mag has a better idea.
It's been years since I've been anywhere but CO and UT and I'm looking forward to it!
:D
Not trying to hijack the thread, but does anyone in Seatle know the name of the microbrewery that's downtown?
Pike Place? Pyramid? Maritime?
i have a better idea. ski stevens. just bring a transciever and a shovel, i'll take care of the rest.
By the Stadium: Pyramid.Quote:

By the Pike Place Market: Pike Place Brewpub.
In Ballard, N. side of the Ballard Bridge (15th) Maritime.
On Capitol Hill: Elysian
In Redmond: Celtic Bayou.
Got the transciever/shovel/pack but wasn't planning on brining them since the "real" reason for the trip is business and I don't have alot of extra space with bag/weight limits on the airlines these days. Still tryin to figure out how to pack my suits and ties in the same bag with my boots and helmet ;)
Carry on the boots. You're allowed 2 carry on items.
Consider a day each at one of Crystal, Alpental, Stevens or Baker, the latter if you can handle a 3 hour drive from Peeattle.
Ahhhh, Buster you are so wise in these matters! Damn good idea except I already have to take a laptop and an video projector as my two. Oh, well worst case - pay the $50 for the extra bag. Now the bigger decesion - which skis to bring? Real fat or just mostly fat.
Have a good new year all - I'm outta the cube until the 5th.
at least bring the transciever, i just don't like to be irresponsible in the b/c. i can pull a shovel for ya. and bring the real fat skis. i like to ski powder.
transciever - check.
Off to the sick 29" base at Copper for the next couple days :rolleyes:
I'll probably be up at either Alp. or Crystal on 1/10 and 1/11. Drop a line if plans go toward either. Definitely bring as much of the bc gear you can- all the best stuff is OB. I guess you could always FedEx some gear up to your hotel and charge it to the company?
There's another microbrew in Redmond, the Northwest Brewhouse or something (make a beer called Bear Creek IIRC).
I was planning to do some randonnee on the 10th but would join on a BC tour at either of the resorts you guys mentionned. If we could decide in a couple days, that'd help me score a comp ticket but I need a week's notice.
