If you have touring gear another option would be to go ski up at the shuttered Spout Springs ski area on Tollgate summit. Who knows, you might want to buy the place, it’s for sale. $1.25 million

Lines Saturday at Crystal were surprisingly mild? Laps were quick and fun.

Better than expected putzin around inbounds today.

Sounds like GruntCam has a competitor with this all new OofCam.
If I ever remember the GoPro I'll add my own contribution from OhShitCam.
We did manage to get some xc time up in the Olympics. Absolutely nukage the entire time, could only imagine what is was like in the upper elevations.

Stunner of a morning. Good to see lots of people out getting after it!

Friggin beautiful
Wow, I'll say!
Great shot!
Anyone planning to be up at Stevens on Thursday and want to ski? I might take my mom up and get a day in.
I'm planning going but I have a slight glitch to work outQuote:

Mrs. single, myself, and our Kid are looking for some driveway camping for a college tour week in the PNW. A flat spot to park our F250/Lance camper rig would be appreciated, an extension cord is a bonus, and bathroom privileges a luxury.
The Kid flies into Seattle, we’re picking them up, and then looping around in our camper to check out U of Puget Sound, Evergreen, Willamette, Lewis and Clark, Reed, and Whitman…
Seattle area 3/9, Tacoma 3/10, Olympia 3/11, Salem 3/12, Portland 3/13-14, Walla Walla 3/15, Spokane 3/16-17.
Can offer up a jug of New England maple syrup and good karma for a place to park for the night.
Thanks for considering it and feel free to PM if you got a spot or any leads/ info.

After last weekend's ikonic festivities, this morning's blueb!rd conditions and country club vibe were just what the doctor ordered.

Bellingham skiers: What do you guys do for passes? And how hard is it to get a Baker pass as a first timer? If I were rich I'd just buy full ikon and go for Baker pass but I'm not, so there's like a 6% chance I buy a base ikon, but only if I'm pretty likely to be able to get a Baker pass...
I think the window for first timers closed in a matter of hours. This year they offered a midweek-only pass which I assume gets you into the pool of returning pass holders next year. It took longer for that one to sell out.Quote:

Crystal Mini Trip Report
Wife and I snow chased from Maine to our favorite hill. Wish I could say storm chased but the cycle came to an end on Sunday. No worries though. Four days of cold temps and blue bird skis, small crowds made for some awesome groomer zooming. The off trail was OK manageable chop. Powder Bowl is always fun. North was good up high but down low kind of beat you up. South still had almost untracked. Call me a nerd but middle Ferk is freakin awesome when you have the whole slope to yourself and the pack pow is good. Was cool watching the junior freeride comp directly above chair 6 base. Up and coming rippers for sure.
More from this week in the Wenatchee Mountains.

I'll be at white pass tomorrow. If anybody is interested in spinning some laps, hit me up.

Speaking of precip I was expecting snow all morning but then this happened:

Best turns of the year for me down brain damage on Sunday. It was rather windy so south faces were scoured while the King was bottomless blower
Now back to Alpental where I belong and they can't even get the lifts open before 11am
Attachment 490280Never made it off chair four today. Haven’t skied this line before (Well I have but that was before the landslide).
I finished the day with 5 runs on 4. Great wind buffed snow. It was nice up high too but the visibility wasn’t great early this morningQuote:

It was almost as good as the day we skied castle before the slide. That day our spray was going up over our heads from behind. Close though. I have a video with the wind blown filling my tracks as I stood there.Quote:

Yeah. The snow is a lot more reactive than you’d think. Not too deep but probably just enough to potentially eff you up.Quote:

Skied a couple lift line chute runs in the morning waiting for South to open. Many fewer sharks makes it much more fun, though nearly blew myself up narrowly avoiding a few in the tight chute right under c6.
South opened around 1130 and all the W facing things that had been shaded from the morning sun were *excellent*. The E facing things were (much) heavier
Got four laps through a mix of a-basin and silver basin, with many, many face shots including first tracks down Hourglass. Definitely wasn't the blower pow of the December deep freeze, but it was excellent March pow
White Pass is becoming my new favorite place to ski on my days off, Monday was quite pleasant, nice and cool, some new snow, plenty of quality left overs, no lift lines, but I forgot to stock up on Los Hernandez Tamales on the way home
Armstrong was open at 10:30 today....Quote:

Prettier decent day. Dense and creamy wind buff. Probably the last of winter snow for a while
