Chinook Pass through June.
Pollard,
Nope- was hoping to this season, but never got around to it. Likely I will be up at Crystal due to $48 price @ Stevens and no late season deals. Definitely next year.
You coming up to Alpental on 4/17 or 4/18? Passholders can get spring tix for about $17. I'll be there if you're interestd (unless Utah gets a major storm- then I'm on the road...)
Buster-
Chinook Pass Mini (middle of June)????
Nice time to take an early summer break in prep for the MH summer mini over 4th July.
Bump-
Anyone still up for bottom of chair 6 (campbell) at 12pm for Sunday? Girlski0912? Bueller...????
I'll be bombing around chair 6 likely most of the day.
wow....guess thats my closest lift served area. so I'll be thereQuote:

Crystal was freakin great today. GirlSki- were you hanging out with Elliott today? Saw him on the top of Silver King 'bout 2pm.
Went to chair 6 at 12:00- no nickels so kept motoring. Nice corn/slush into Silver Basin.
Pollard, yeah for next weekend prolly at Alpental both days. Toying with the idea of going up to Baker for Saturday; then Alp for Sunday. Also the thought of that potential utah storm has road trip written all over it- but we'll have to pay attention to the forecasts mid-week. Weather here should be changing- snow showers mid-week and temps dropping. Could get interesting...
sounds like a good close er' down weekend.
damn it's not even my home hill yet and i'm a little emotional about crystal closing. i'm sure the trips to hood and W/BC will distract me soon enough though. it's gonna be fresh to be up there!
- bcf
Yep that was me...Had to get one last good hike in on the King...and one last good crash- I got a little hot coming into the compressions down the ridge to Silver Basin and blew up over the cornice...The part of Silver Basin that I skied was AWESOME! It was heartbreaking to see the lifts stop yesterday afternoon. Might be at Alpy next weekend, so maybe I will see you there!Quote:

Sorry Buster, I took off on a chair at 12 on the dot- ran into a friend from Utah that randomly showed up for some Crystal laps and they only had two more runs before meeting up with the family. I knew I should have waited another minute or so :o
Hope you had a great day up there. Girlski- you have the TGR sticker on the helmet? Thought I recognized you or met during the Crystal Comp? I was going to follow you guys out toward teh center cornice, but snow looked too tempting off the immediate peak. But yeah- damn, Silver Basin was friggin' awesome. It was so hard to not drop the front side and part with Hourglass, Brain Damage, Pinball and the likes- but it just looked soooo much better on the backside- and it was.
I think a bottle of bubbly is in order for 5pm top of Chair Two at Alpy next Sunday with snow showers forecasted Tue-Sunday.:D
Yeah, TGR sticker and all. I was in the Crystal comp and you probably met me but between comp jitters, being drunk, and recovering from being drunk I was not really "all there" that weekend. Front side yesterday was super tempting and Elliot and I were tempted, almost, into pinball till we slapped poles onto it and they bounced right back into our faces. Wee bit firm...but a great day. Glad to hear you enjoyed it as well. Look for me at Alpy on Sunday, hopefully...Quote:

Yeah I almost dropped into Pinball, but that glaze wasn't looking so hot- figured it might be nice and windbuffed half way down- but why deal with crappy conditions on the top when Silver was so $ on the backside? Alpy on Sunday is going to be sweet. Hopefully a lot of people can make it up there (it's only $26 tix anyway!) and the lower elev. will keep it nice and soft.
