Also who lost that BC120 mounted with a Shift a couple years ago at Crystal? My buddies may have found it today.

Deepest 9” I’ve ever skied today. Upslope winds scoured the ridgelines and it was a little wind affected in the open but great skiing overall.

Where did you ski today? We skied Stevens and found close to boot deep powder on the upper half of the mountain. Dust on variable crust down below. Not a bad day.Quote:

Got out to xtal with low expectations and was blown away. Over a foot of cold dry snow. Some wind effect and a hard base, but really really good quality overall. Awesome day.

I'm 90% sure it was, and with a Shift too. My memory could be bad though. Pic below from my buddies. They said they turned it in to mountain ops.Quote:

The ridge traverse was the best it's been in a long time, though the top few turns skied not very well a few turns in was pretty dang good. Consistent shin to knee deep.
Main runs are back to 98% filled in with the past few snow events since the atmospheric river. I’ve been skiing my good gear the past few visits with no concerns. Still lots of shallow rocks, stumps, etc. off trail to make things interesting.Quote:

Yeah I do! Didn't buy a pass this year. Hit me up if you want to get outQuote:

^ That looks great MU. Coverage looks surprisingly good!
It was a good day to have a good day at White pass. Wind loading made for some deep turns on leeward slopes. Upper roller was groomed all the way up and covered with a little bit of redistributed powder. Super fun--fast and smooth. I don't make it down there often but it's always a good time.
skinned to Muir today
slow going with deep snow in the trees until pan face, wind scour from pan face to mcclure rock, then the variable wind drifting all the way to Muir
winds were constant but nbd to pan face, fierce on pan face to like 8k, then just… shut off. seriously like, no wind above 8k
the whole day there was a well demarcated cloud line coming from the south that. would peter out variably directly above Rainier's S flank or occasionally make it all the way to the summit
descending was fine until about 500 feet above pan point when it was like sustained 60 mph east winds blowing so much snow is was nearly a whiteout. came across another pair of skiers who weren't sure how to get down or where pan point was from where we were. someone had told my partner on the way up that pan face had slide on skier's right (turned out to be true, though small) so didn't want to go around pebble creek way
skied the face in a goat rodeo one-at-a-time with eyes on thing with people I'd never met and couldn't communicate with (due to the nuking wind), which is always a good bit of excitement
then skied fast refrozen sun-corn below pan face, which was really the best snow of the day, laughably

How's Crystal's base lodge looking these days? Are they gonna be up and running for next season?
Attachment 487408Still good at Mission.
Depends on when they figure out how undersized it is and begin the expansion. But yeah, looks like they are just doing internal stuff right now.Quote:

Crustal has been xtra krusty lately.
That being said, this morning's snow squall made for some really smooth turns.
Indeed. I went searching for a lost ski, got stopped by a rope set for inadequate coverage in a zone that had 3 ft a month ago.Quote:

I hunger and I yearn.
I'm definitely going to be sick next week, somehow I can just tell. Unfortunately I might be actually sick as well--the kiddos are coughing and sneezing today!
Is that actual...snow in the forecast!?
Should be an interesting next week. I may be sick a bunch.
I got up high for some sun and a night out- got me stoked for the excellent spring skiing we will have in the high country this season…but I’m looking forward to the refresh that’s coming too! Attachment 487945Attachment 487946Attachment 487947

Fun in the shade and sun today at Snoqualmie - definitely some terrible snow too but overall pretty surprised by the conditions.
