Chair 2 laps this morning were fun. Ski on, no lines, soft snow. International closed. Legs turned to jelly around noon and nearly tumbled down the Fan so I Graciously conceded knowing its early season and don’t need an injury. Brought the old girls out after a fresh base grind.

Alpental closed tomorrow according to the website. With the forecasted snow overnight I am surprised. Any intel?
Be prepared for massive (oh yeah) debris piles when they do open upQuote:

Such a wacky weather system. It's currently raining at the top of Alpental at 5400' and snowing at my house at 600' about 20 miles west. Amazingly sharp temp gradient across the cold front.
I'm still hopeful they'll pick up 6"+ at the tail end of this to make for good skiing during the dry week ahead.
Got about 5-6 inches of beautiful spackle (that’s what she said) at around 1200 ft and still coming down.
Hopefully more up high, good for the base eh.

My guess is they want to try and let the pack stabilize before bombing it tomorrow A. M.
Don't want to push all the new snow into runoff zones leaving only snow from 12/9 and prior on the steeper aspects. NWAC was saying they are still waiting for the big avalanche cycle in the Alpental Valley that happened at Stevens and Crystal already.
Idk.
How was the dog poop at Hyak?Quote:

Beauty! That makes me miss Alpy nights. I sure hope they bring em back next year. Or this year if demand at Central is high enough.Quote:

It's happening again. Hoping this keeps up tonight. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0239927109.jpg
Snow was too light to soften the crust much first thing. But, as it warmed, that 6" felt like a lot more. Just the way I like it.
The OG 191 BGs came out to play for the first time in a couple years. They mash one chopped pow... Really made lower upper I a lot of fun.
Just an FYI...... the "street tacos" don't pair well with masks.
Nice low key CC vibe today. Late 10 am arrival but somehow managed to get to lot 4 sans ski pants for my youngest.
SirVic went full knighthood and hooked up a spare pair of size 5 pink pants! Owe you bro
Only able to sneak away from lapping StB once but SVS kept it memorable
