Not everyone "looks forward to it." I don't ski when it rains. There are other activities that can be done when freezing levels are high and it's pissing. Kayaking, surfing, mountain biking, fishing, snow free valley floor rain forest hikes, getting fucked up and doing city things, driving to Canada and praying you get above freezing levels. While the PNW lacks the consistency of the Rocky Mountains, I still think we ski just as much powder here as anywhere. Just pick your times and realize there will be one to two week periods in winter you don't ski. Once late February rolls around it rarely rains in the mountains (storms more likely to track out of the Gulf of Alaska then and be cold).Quote:

I think you are going to need drive down to Paradise at Rainier if you are dead set on skiing on Monday. Maybe Heliotrope on Baker if you don't want to make the drive (although currently 4.5 miles from road wash out to normal summer parking spot; https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/trip-r...-09.1852178836). Go on a sunny day so you can go high.
I have a baker midweek pass
They are getting 16" this weekend probably
It sucks here you should all move some place elsewhere.Quote:

Maybe I’m missing something.

Have not. Got a baker, Taos, beaver, pine Creek and Indy pass.
Ski trip? Who the fuck takes ski trips. I just ski all winter and don't work.
But, you are planning to ski in the fall in the PNW.Quote:

I think by the weekend there may be some cooler storms that actually leave some cold snow at Baker *if* the forecast comes true.
Thursday looks like good weather for a tour above today's rain line for the ambitious, I plan to eat food and hang out instead
Ya, looks like raining everywhere at the moment but storm on Saturday/Sunday looks colder. 8-14 day outlook looks promising:

From Cali and never heard, “rain corn”? Sounds suspect.Quote:

Thanksgiving is not the correct time of year to still be building a liftQuote:

Got up late.
I'm done with the fighting.
Shit ch-ch-ch-changes, so I rolled into an icy B lot late at 9:10, made 6th row back. No parking attendants, so the layout was pretty higgildy-piggildy. Saw a few people go down hard. No shuttles running, not that I ever take them and I walked up and was in line by 9:30.
The new lodge is nowhere near done, a canonical laminate sweep, just that bulbous quonset hut available for shelter. All this for your $1900 lift pass. What a scam.
The sun is low and weak, so the rides in the shade felt cold. Chairs crusted with snowmaking rime. Quality management. Only 2 runs open: Chinook Express top past FQ base into Tinker Bell and out onto Quicksilver. No Skid Road or Stump farm. Also Quicksilver from the top, which had an inch of cream on top of the crunchy groom. The frontside still looks boney., they need another 2+feet to even think about that. GV is to open; take your rock skis.
Did a little walk up into the solace green,
Made speed laps for 3+ hours, the knee held up despite the firm snow.
I remember skiing at Mission when they were still building the “new” bubble quad, this was thanksgiving time. Haul rope still on the spool. They pulled the haul rope and had it load tested and running sometime around New Year iirc. The biggest wait was for the splicing crew to get here from Austria, this was 2020 full Covid restrictions on travelQuote:
