Great pics as always, Norse. Looks like it was a beautiful day up there.
Ditto on the pics Norse.
Night shift was fast and fun although city league taking more than their fair share of real estate is annoying if not a little aggravating. Hopefully ullr dumps feet of snow "on ze masterz course" and they realize that taking yourself that seriously is overrated.
Hit a nice monster truck tire sized frozen piece of debris below 6 in lane 3 unexpectedly at high speed and almost lost my leg.
At one point my daughter sat up after a short skid and tumble and said,"I feel like a nail and the mountain keeps on hammering me like boom boom boom boom."
Yes dear that happens sometimes

Nice pics.
Yeesh, does sound spooky out there. Bummer about trees falling.
great pics Norse! especially that b&w one with the lift.
SVS - a suggestion. start a little journal capturing the amazing comments from your daughter as she says them. great memories for your family down the road.
Best encapsulation of Alpental I've ever heard.Quote:

Snow was good tonight though a bit grabby in the flats. Lessons start tomorrow, so crowds will really be starting. I wonder if they will enforce Lot 4 pass holder rule. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5ae443a2cd.jpg
Lots of folks up night skiing tonight. Main lot full ski school lot full lot 3 full lot 4 at about 30 percent full.
I had fun . Lots of stuff to launch off .
Parking lots and road turned into a skating rink when Ieft. Tomorrow should be interesting. Carry on

You were my guess based on his report. I told him he'd have fun skiing with you.....Quote:

Hidden Valley side was skiing much better than the front. Groomer snow was pretty nice and off piste was better than expected.Quote:

They enforced it until about 9 when the lot filled. I rolled in at 850 and parked nearly at the trailhead. By the time I left at 1230 the sledders and snowshoers who arrived after the gaurd left had filled up drive aisles and parked in a few people. Also, when I was at my car at the end of the day I got told to hurry up by someone who was apparently waiting to take my spot.Quote:

Nearly ski on lifts for me from 11-1230. Sick day.
Ok day of skiing

They really groomed the crap out of the lower mountain today. Surprisingly good grooming for Alpy too. Nash was some of the best packed powder I’ve seen in a while and lines weren’t bad at all despite full lots. Fine day indeed.
Forecast for this week is looking rough. We need to get it while it's good. NOAA is calling for 3" of rain on Monday. With freezing levels between 4500-6500 most of the week. Oof!

Concur with above. Couple laps of ski by feel on the padded in the PM then lower mountain. Good chalky crumbly bumps and solid groom. Vroom vroom. Tolerable crowds. More PM laps today. We shall see.
If the warmth holds up, may be a tiger/RR kind of week.
Oh, I'm sorry did you think I was leaving. Actually I am just back at the car for lunch and a ski change. Good luck finding a spot.Quote:
