I was there but somehow I don't think I'm in the pic! Miss the Alpy Lot 4 squad. I'm going to be chasing my kids around somewhere tomorrow, probably Schweitzer but potentially Silver. I may have time to get some dad laps. If you see me holla! I'll be in a neon green helmet and on old dynastars.
Wifey and I have baby care tomorrow; don’t know where we will end up. Anyone have a report on jackass narth? Kinda wanna groomer zoom.

Silver way over delivered today. 10-12” and nuked all day. Ghost town as well. Lots of fresh lines were had. The rain did some damage and there is definitely some rock piles lurking just under the new snow. Only clipped one rock today but stayed with shit I know loads and holds.
Headed to $chwizz tomorrow. They have a lot more terrain open with excellent coverage.

Sweeet, MrsSL and I plan to roll to $chwiz. We’ll ski until noon or so then roll out.
Perfecto Friendo. Thanks for posting that.Quote:

I’ll be up at Schweitzer tomorrow. Red coat, black pants, pink boots, not sure what skis, arms doing an eagle impersonation.

Holy shit —
JA was great, full reset. Popped blue. Skiing in November — it sure doesn’t get any better!
Schweitzer delivered. EXCELLENT 1st day in the pow in 6 years. Can't believe that I got reconnected with such a cool group of Mags. Thanks for showing me around, gentlemen.
I was reminded: --Skiing powder is the purpose of life.--
Heck yeah!!! Stoked all you boys were able to meat up!
Pow is life — the snow had amazing energy today. The deeper you pushed into it the more pop you got out! Full boooofin today.

Good to ski with the crew today.
Good day 1 at Schweitzer, January level coverage and decent snow quality if you looked hard enough. Alder is almost buried already. Fog is persistent.

Closed the day with groomer zoomers. Legs are TOAST. Awesome day three in the books. Season is off to an amazing start!!

Did chair 3 open today? I only took 2 runs off of chair 2 with my son and never looked but I saw someone ducking a rope into rendezvous and off he went following multiple tracks. Otherwise I had a great time lapping the magic carpet with my daughter.

Nah, chair three didn’t pop. Initially they were going to open five, but weren’t able to make that happen either.
Can’t get over how freaking good yesterday was, blue bird pow with full on sendy conditions on opening weekend!

Yeah I took few turns off of sunrise/sob and it was nice. Snow was pretty dry even after 1 pm.

Skied Mt. Spokane on Friday season opener. Those were the best conditions I've seen on opening day in as long as I remember. All lifts spinning, all runs open, great coverage. It was sunny for the upper two-thirds of the mountain with 6-8" of untracked in many places. There were a lot of cars but never had a line. It was like end of February last year but in November. Really hope we can get this high pressure out of here and start getting some more weather in. Could be a fantastic year if it goes going.
Yeah the parking lot was nuts but the magic carpet and chair [emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]] was empty around [emoji637][emoji637] when we got there. I can’t wait till I get some time for myself to make some turns.

Skinned up Mt. Spokane yesterday, the groomer was ok but the ungroomed was brutal refrozen. But, what mountains are these that I could see from the top, I've never been up there with visibility before so these looked new to me. Sorry for shitty iPhone pic.Attachment 506516
Cabinets, including the Scotchman Peaks sub-range.Quote:

Thanks Norseman, its wild that you can stand in WA and see into Montana. Looks like some decent terrain to ski there.
Whippin out mah ruler ('scuse me while I whip this out)... It's just shy of 70 miles line-of-sight from Mt Spokane to the summit of Snowshoe. Looks pretty dang close on a clear day.Quote:

Maybe it just seems further because of how long it takes to drive there.
Wet/soggy day at the Kan.
Planning Lookout for tomorrow unless Silver gets a foot!! I hear silvers down to dirt in a few places!

Silver is pretty good today. Planning on taking my kid to Schweitzer tomorrow.

Schweitzer looked good, skied loud.
Listened to my body and went back to bed at 6am and slept until 9ish, 10hrs. Woke feeling amazing. The cold I had a month ago has been lingering but think that did it in. Decided to stay home today but pics and reports say Jackass was full tilt boogie today. Ugh.

Jackass was full gas pedal today, skied with reckless abandon and was fully rewarded.
Too many amazing runs to count.
First tracks down steep and deep: full gas, four/five turns maybe… holy fuck!
Rendezvous: fully filled in, road gaps easily sent me twenty five ft out.
Prospector: left wind lips in play. Boosty. Machhhed down to below chair four. Two footed pow carves to mid station.
Wardner Meadows: crushed three laps out there, on the last one was getting greedy with my speed and line choice. Pushed my downhill ski into a pocket of nothing (guessing a steam vent) and BG tip folded and I rolled ass over teakettle for like twelve feet haaaaaaaa!
Skiing pow at speed is fucking all time!!
Schweitzer was fun yesterday, again skiing with the kids. Is it always socked in? Third time there and been deep in the cloud every time! Skiing by braille is still fun! Free skiing for kids had me making the longer drive instead of heading to Jackass.
Sunny at Schweitzer. Definitely cruncher than Silver was yesterday. Still fun riding around with my son.

Silver with the MRS today!!
Skiing really good, little scratchy in the main zones but off piste is soft and fast! Bit of rock showing around chair 3 basin.
