I agree with your take on burritos in the Seattle area.

Take your skis off to shovel with in the light fluffy snow that makes tree wells dangerous and get back to us. You’d be as bad off as the person in the tree well if you took your skis off.

You can stomp out a spot next to the tree and then take your skis off. The tree well is dangerous because you likely are falling head first into the well, sometimes with your arms at your side. Not to mention trauma risk. You can't really shovel well (with an actual shovel or your skis) with your skis on, so you're going to have to take your skis off. Ya, you might sink in up to your neck in the unconsolidated fluff, but as long as you are right side up, you will be fine.

I've never fallen in a tree well. Had to rescue one friend from one across the street from Stevens.

I just got home from work so i don’t have any fresh pics, but if anyone needs a moment away from the discussion of the last few pages, here’s a couple nice views. Second one was leaving work this morning- I don’t see those very often.

I do ski with a beacon in bounds on days I think I need to. And when I ski, I wear a pack, because I only have touring skis and I will probably be skinning somewhere. But I don't like snowboarding with a pack, which is what I mainly do in bounds.

I don't wear a helmet touring. Does that make everyone angry?

The only thing that makes me angry is the snowboarding

Just spitballin here about a persistent discomfort with the actions of the clientele, I don't actually have any good solutions. Nor do I even ski there anymore. :tdo13:

Well they took away the beacon check at the gate and the practice area next to the cb lodge so…

Not to mention, have you seen the Crystal side country lately? It might as well be in bounds as tracked as it is. Mother fuckers are traversing all the way from Chair 6 to Gunsight these days.

How the hell else are you going to get to party knoll fff…

Well whatever it is she's a looker.

I'll have hit her up w my favorite on snow line..

Was that love at first sight or do I need to ski by again?

Fun day today! Thanks for the mountain tour BH!

Sheesh! Had no idea asking if wearing a pack at Crystal today is advisable would set off this shit storm. But I guess it’s the internet, right?

I’ll show myself out…until late Jan when I’m looking for info and riding partners for my trip to Bachelor…

You definitely need a pack at Bachelor.

For sandwiches.

I believe Bachelor is considered either Eastern Oregon, or the Inland Northwest. Certainly not the PNW. Has this been covered?


Snoqualmie snow report this morning hinting at some hilariously bad grooming and also breakable crust on lower mountain Alpental for opening day. Maybe we get a surprise international rope drop later in the afternoon?

Nash basically had moguls after last weekend.

It has and is not. PNWet all day.

If we're talking Schweitzer and surrounding area, then you're fairly in the inland NW zone.

I've never known your flying elbow to have any odor....
