Is there anyone driving from Bellingham down to the Seattle area soon? I've got a line on some skis I want to pick up, but I'm not so keen to do the drive up and back just for them. Will throw some beer money at ya!
How soon do you need it? I might be making a run to move some things for family in the next week or two.
Anyone in Seattle area have a Tyrolia Attack jig I could borrow? Need to mount up 4 pairs of skis for me and the mini Phats and would prefer using a jig if possible vs paper template.

The Summit's new singles don't mingle lift line plan sounds like a cluster in the making - at Alpental only two singles per quad chair and single on Chair 2.
Point of clarification. 30 minutes early on weekends only.Quote:

Uphill access at Stevens Pass will resume once we’ve opened for the season and will be permitted outside of normal lift access hours.

"Im not here to ski, im just late finishing the PCT..." Think that'll work? Where's Altasnob offering insight on Stevens' right to restrict uphill travel?Quote:

I could never understand why people think being a dick to ski area employees will enhance their mountain experience when your pass gets switched off and no refund is coming they’re coming to have something to cry aboutQuote:

I don't really blame the ski areas for this; it's Americas over litigious society. If someone ends up killing themselves early season before the ski area is open, but after Stevens is plowing roads and setting stuff up, and the deceased's family has no soul, they will find some unemployed shady plaintiff's attorney to sue Stevens. Stevens may win in court but their insurance won't want to risk it and end up paying something on the frivolous suit. The cycle continues and in the end, we all pay for it in the form of higher lift ticket prices.
But Stevens pass holders should be happy with Vail's ineptitude. With the border closed, and Vail being, well, Vail, everyone in entire Puget Sound region has bought an Ikon pass and will be skiing Crystal this winter. Bachelor joining Ikon seals the deal. Stevens should be a ghost town.
Stevens a ghost town! I hope you’re being ironic.

There was this one pow day about 4 years ago, man how time flies, TAFKNLVS, Abe and myself hit it just right. Ski on pow fest. Probably the only and last day since then.Quote:

Tried that during covid times and they had mountain ops chasing us on cats and snowmobiles saying that the inbounds was fully closed.Quote:

Well, there were two mid week days last February when the west side of the pass was closed for a few days. Waist deep blower, but that’s an anomaly.Quote:

Now there's food for thought. However, betting against Vail's ineptitude is...a risky move. I flexed an Edge card day on a projected 1 ft+ weekday last season. Stood in line on Kehr's for 3 hrs before they were finally able to get their avy work done, double D and backside never opened. If it's not a sat/sun, their approach to opening terrain seems to be no different than at Whistler, i.e a total clusterfuck absent any motivation to deliver.Quote:

I laugh every time I think about you guys saying you were going to go for one more as I called it a day and headed to the bar completely spent. Only to have you two walk in about 10mins later never making it to the lift. [emoji23]Quote:

Buddy and I skinned up Stevens several years ago, a few days before they opened. There was no uphill policy at that time. They had the lifts running and cats were grooming, and plenty of other people skinning and hiking around the frontside. Nobody from the resort seemed have any issues with our presence. We decided to drop off the backside for a lap. Snowpack was super thin, but the ungroomed cat road skied fine.. As we were skinning back up, all hell broke loose with multiple charges going off above us and continued nonstop, getting progressively closer. Turns out the patrol had decided to "stabilize the pack" and sent out multiple teams of patrollers to bomb the crap out of anything that might move, before the next storm came. This function is normally handled by rain around here, but I digress. We hunkered down in some trees until we could communicate with the patrol. Suffice it to say they were both surprised and pissed when they finally saw us.Quote:

Crystal allows you but plays games. They haven’t updated their fancy webcam at the summit since 11/5. They haven’t been showing any data on snow levels other that 24/48 totals...
