Alpental isn't open today. Tomorrow, yes. I'll probably be up there on Friday too.
I Crustalled today.Quote:

The storm blew in from the South, so the North facing zones held decent snow like skiers right on Iceberg. There wasn't enough to fix the frontside or Exterminator, Northway stashes skied well but Hamburger held the best snow. It was a whiteout in the main Throne Bowl, so the edges of Hamburger had enough contrast to see.
The Throne traverse generated a few grunts crossing the debris tongues. But my skis are still too long and all I care about is how I look.
Some shots from the Stupids:

With some wind and another couple of inches, it will be a good reset for tomorrow.
Superlative storm skiing at Mission today.

Sback was surprisingly good today . Full on d cup good . Attachment 492432

I cannot believe they close in less than three weeks. Feels too soon.
As this PNW corn cycle draws to a close, I ratted around Crustal. It was soft and devoid of people and I managed to link up for a few laps with mofros son. Just a nice day.
Same mantra: high North facing stuff was best, some melted chalk and some corn were the choice of the day. They've given up grooming Iceberg, at least today, and the bumps in there were huDge. Other bump fields skied OK.
Weird lenticulars above Silver Queen and on Mt. Rainier.

Hey y'all, looking for a wedding venue that's woodsy/mountain adjacent next fall. Room for 100-150ish people. We've got a list of the Google-able options but wondering if the WA mags have any suggestions that might be harder to find otherwise. Please send em my way!
In Oregon but we got married at cooper spur outside of hood river.

Mt. Dweebus does lots of weddings.

Extra bonus is that there are a bunch of beds to sleep family or party members on-site during setup and teardown.Quote:

The grotto at St Edward’s state park.
I know two couples who got married at Crystal. Both gave it high marks.
The marriage?Quote:

The upper sections of Stevens skied really well yesterday. The 6” of new was just barely enough to cover the crust (in most spots) and wind loaded areas skied even better. Some surprisingly good turns off of 7th, Tye Bowl, and Big Chief Bowl areas. With hardly anyone venturing off trail, lots of good to be had.
Turned out to be a good day to test out my new Revolt 114’s and do a head-to-head with my Black Ops 118’s. Gotta love being able to ski fatties in April, especially after this funky season.
First reports on the comparison? I am liking my Revolt 114s overall. Definitely comp ski feelingQuote:

Head over to Mission, open weekends through the end of the month.

Finally able to log in, but not able to post pics. Maybe 2pole is using up all the bandwidth.
April has been gangbusters so far with everything from cold chalk to creamed corn, graupel squalls to sun.
How unusualQuote:

Gorgeous evening to squeeze in a few after work turns. I usually wait to do this tour until May, but this year’s snowpack necessitated an earlier start. Conditions will likely be very good up high after a little more melt freeze, saw very little pollen and lots of smooth surfaces.

We are setting up for epic corn, evidence ^^^ and forecast
This weekend should be amazing. Sad I won't be able to get out there...
