I've totally seen you! You're so rad!
Schweitzer is continuing to get pounded. 12"Tuesday night, 8" yesterday, and 7" overnight last night. Another 3-5" today and tonight, 3-6" tomorrow day/night, 4-9" Saturday/night, 3-5" Sunday....then it warms a bit and the 'R' word shows up. "Get it while you can before the shit hits the fan."
Back-country is the same old story for this season. Heavy wind-loaded pack on top of weak layers. ENE aspects most susceptible. Rating is High above treeline and Considerable at and below. Mellow slopes below 5k feet, watch for overhanging cornices and stay the hell out of the terrain traps. Things will be twitchy the next several days.
To add to my post above, this happened this morning during control work. Lakeside Chutes slid to the 12/16 layer with a 12' crown, taking out trees and pushing the ice out of the lake when it bottomed out. Be careful out there!! And thanks to Schweitzer Ski Patrol for their hard work in mitigating these issues.

Schweitzer skied insanely well today. Best day of my season. Great vis and mid thigh snow.
The slide aftermath was intense.

No but skiing tomorrow with NWskier and kopi red in tow.
Doug e Fresh should be a ton of fun this year! 2 days of banked slalom races, ski bum prom in the lodge with live music, best method old school trick contest in the park, and night skiing. Super cool event in the Memory of my old man!
In tow? Like we're just a couple followers? Good one.Quote:

9 overnight at Schweitzer with another 5 to 9 today. That will make 60 this week! Yeah, baby!
Snorkel and beacon season has arrived!
Went to Schweitzer for Toyota free day. Parking lot was full but lift line wasn’t too bad. Occasional wait. People talking about the slide. Mt. Spokane was fun on Thursday! It’s been a good week.

bumpy chop and choppy bumps overall
Best pow day of the season today at Schweitzer. Storm skiing all day. C chutes, Headwall, secret stashes just OB were all multiple face shots with wind-refills. Fun day!
Could not agree more GM. Ski on Basin to Triple laps with plenty of snow flying overhead.
Silver was thtupid today. Blower pow laps all. Damn. Day.
True dat. Skied from first chair till 6 pm. Pissed me off with the chair 4 situation. Might head up tomorrow morning to ski wardner. Should be super good as long as it doesn't get warmQuote:

So the NW_skier, Kopi_red and myself brought the Powder toolz to Silver yesterday for some A and B'ing. The final thoughts were that they all fucking kill it. Damn it's good to be alive with so many diff ski offerings today.
L-R: 188 ProTest, 191 Lhasa FAT, 187 ProTest,
186 Billy Goat, 193 Super Goat.
It was a fantastic day for sure. Forgot how good it feels to choke on dry snow while trying to dodge trees.
No sir, they arrived the other day. Thank you very much. Been too wet and soggy to apply to the truck.Quote:

Helmet nazi now parking nazi? You're so core, bro. Next time I'm up I'll give you my keys so you can park it while I go shred. Just make sure it's up front and warm when I get back.
2Funky so I take it you 3 avoided the chair 4 mess. Got stuck at bottom for 15-20 min made one run and fortunately was not there for the breakdown.
Yes we did. Another buddy of mine was on it for 45min. during the breakdown. I heard it derailed but not truly sure.
I heard that being a nail was the new hipsterQuote:
