Snow was unexpectedly deep at Stevens today with no lines.
Ski patrol was throwing bombs all morning and the word on the street is that backside opens tomorrow.
Nice! Jealous...had to work. Their IG feed confirms that the backside will open tomorrow.Quote:

Thanks for bringing the stoke as always. One of these days I’ll remember to snap some pics when I’m skiing.Quote:

Get it while it's good.
Looks like pineapple bukaki for Christmas
Anyone have recos on shops that would be able to fix ski where one edge has a slight bump down?
I live in West Seattle and work in Northgate - so anywhere in the Seattle area I could get to easily…
Mountain To Sound - is in the neighborhood, has anyone had any work done there?

That’s some masochistic shit.Quote:

You might give Seattle Ski a call. They're at 14915 Aurora Avenue North, so pretty close to where you work. My experience with them is limited, but it's been positive and they've been there forever and get lots of business.Quote:

There's also ProSki. They had a shop at Aurora and N 90th forever, but looks like they've now moved to Sand Point, east of the U District. Can't say I blame them. The old neighborhood was pretty sketch. They definitely know what they're doing there.
Got a late start heading to Stevens today, left at 930, got there around 1230 with some stormy driving, got two runs in and then they announced they were closing the resort cuz they were closing US2 pass w/ no opening ETA. 6 hours of driving for 2 powder runs off Skyline, yahoo
Sounds epic.Quote:

Therrrre's the Vail we know and love. Who needs to get home just set up some cots in the bullwheel.Quote:

I'll bet they'll be pretty fresh firsts judging by how things were looking when they closed.
It will be really nice seconds. We were getting some nice refilled tree laps on the front side when they ordered everyone off the hill. The backside was ultra deep - too deep at times! Intermittent face shots with wallowing if you did not choose your line carefullyQuote:

evo’s shop is pretty dialed and they treat you right. They’ve got $$ and overhead to do the right thing if something goes wrong. Lots of jongs in the customer mix tho :fm:
I think Ascent knows their shit too. ProSki North Bend is the classic, but it’s far out so I’m never out there. The one in Seattle is same name, different owners and apparently sucks.
Pretty sweet day at baker yesterday. Should have taken pics but it was a little too cold!
