I got my first turns in on Saturday too. Nine hundred vertical feet of glorious breakable crust! To top it off the road down from the trailhead had been polished into an ice rink so I put on chains before I left my parking spot.

Yea. It’s terrible.

I was referring to the highway but still dangerous with people entering from the right.

My buddy spent some extended time in Seattle (from Chicago), and he called it the “conveyor belt”. Everybody drives the same speed so you have to wing around people on the right.

I once cruise controlled at 75 in the far right lane all the way home from alpental. Probably passed 100 cars.

Impressive, but I think he’s talking about passing on the right using the shoulder.

The move on eastbound I90 is to blast by in the far right lane during snowstorms inches from where everyone is chaining up. Gotta embrace the drift in your G-wagon on slicks as you fishtail and spray those peasants with road slush while everyone else merges over to leave the the right lane open as a safety buffer.

What’s wrong with passing on the right on the freeway? Pretty much have to in WA what with all the left lane campers.

What threw me off was your use of “highway”, growing up in WA the interstate was always referred to as the “freeway”.

Whenever I pass on the right shoulder, I yell "Air! On right!" It has a nice ring to it 😁

Just glad you didn’t call it a “parkway”

This conversation is a ginormous buzzkill. I have no stoke from this year but I gotta put some thing in here. Final resort day from last year. Let's go back to pissing in snow instead of pissing in threads.

And the area that is being repaired along 410 does not look good. Steep clear cut dirt slope without vegetation right down to 410. They have been working the last month trying to stabilize the slope but I wouldn't be surprised if we see frequent mud slides after heavy rain that ends up covering the road. Good news is there is a dirt road detour around this area so hopefully they will use the detour to keep the road open in the event of a mud slide.

FFS.

Are those leki poles the snowboarder is helping keep upright?

Irips may be able to use that shot for marketing or product development.

oof, hope it snows soon. Yea, it sounds like I was saying "here's some stoke" but that is wrong so let me try (hard) again: "no stoke, here's a visual metaphor of how I view your jam session about RCW 46.61.100 and hopefully a transition to something different."

So you're the one skier? Which means it's someone else's picture of you pissing.

Thanks for the TR.

It took 40 posts until the discussion turned from skiing to driving and traffic - is that a new record?

Small businesses in the community of Greenwater are on the brink of closing after a year of natural disasters on top of a global health crisis.

CEO of Crystal Mountain, Frank DeBerry, is being realistic for the 2020-2021 ski season. Last winter saw a 10 percent decrease in revenue and 40 percent for summer months compared to the year prior.

“Things really started to pick up towards the second half of the summer late August and early September,” he said. “We’re actually doing really, really well right up until the fires, and then we shut down early again. So we lost pretty much the entire month of September.”

Crystal Mountain is anticipated to be open, but requires reservations. Fewer skiers and snowboarders will be allowed on the mountain.

“We’re expecting to be down probably in the neighborhood of 25 percent, because we’re gonna have to restrict access,” DeBerry said.

Wait, so they are going to be requiring reservations? Seems unavoidable I guess, but it hasn't been announced on Crystal's website or on Ikon's website.

I hope and assume he means advance purchase of day tickets.

I have no doubt that DeBerry can fuck up Fish & Chips.

Mrs waves and I did some trail maintenance on Blewett yesterday. We got a little over half of 1205 cleared of blow downs (starting from lower th). I'm hoping to return before the snow to take care of the upper half--but if it beats me to it I guess I'm ok with that. The larches were lookin real purdy. Someone from TAY was doing the same thing on a different trail this weekend. Can't wait to enjoy the results!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fd79435ee8.jpg

Anyone know of any news on the Snoqualmie/Alpental pass sales pause? Any idea if/when will resume? Just trying to budget some money.

Was gonna go ride bikes and then grab a flat of ski patrol from Dru Bru this afternoon but ran into nukage just past north bend and called an audible for a lowlands ride. Just need these storms to stack up now...
