Guess my lazy game is no beuno this season. Might try and park at Silver Fir and do cross-over.

Spring skiing!

I'm not even going to try to go to Hyak on the weekends after my recent experience. That is the one disadvantage with littles ones - you just can't get the early start needed to clear the mess.

What they did at Alpental this weekend for parking was amazing and I thanked as many people as I could and complemented them on the policy. We always complain when shit isn't working so wanted to make a point to say thanks for that policy this weekend because it worked.

My mom skied hyak yesterday and said parking was difficult but nobody on the mountain.

Today (Monday) The Summit set up a check point at the entrance to the Hyak lot - they had three employees stopping cars and turning away sledders. Made a huge difference!

I would pay an extra $20 on my season pass so they can permanently staff this job at the lots.

Parking was like 2007 again.

Man, that kid rips!

I wrote a couple quick emails to the Summit email addresses conveying my gratitude for the parking security keeping sledders and snowshoers out of the lots eliminating the parking stress and adding to my ability to "get away" from the stresses of normal life. I got a near immediate response, saying they appreciated the feedback and planned to continue staffing those positions on weekends for the remainder of the "core" season.

I am really, truly happy that my adopted home mountain has actively tried to put my customer experience first, and adapted throughout the season, compared to the other ski areas. I think they are nailing it this year.

Silver Fir was skiing nice today. Those 4" did wonders for the hill. Tomorrow morning should be nice at Alpental.

Last night was pretty good north of 90... Today is going to be pretty great.

Wind loading and scouring in effect, loaded zones deep and light!

Soft, fast, fun turns under the lights at Alpental. Snow exceeded expectations by a lot. Closed down the place with my 13 year old. Could have skied until 10...

Looks like soft with hints of chunder?

I've gotta get some night sessions in soon. Probably next week

Which Mag was up tonight on black ON3Ps (maybe Wrens?) with Forza pivots? With that set up it had to be someone from here.

Mountain skied great tonight. Some scraped spots, but generally pretty good. Was up w/10yo who was out hunting for jumps. She got her first cheers from onlookers today and was pretty stoked.

Today was awesome. Lesson crowds were in effect and visibility could be challenging, but snow quality was great and it kept up most of the day. Love the fresh snow on cord runs.

Night turns at Central with my daughter were great. No lines to speak of and snow is holding up nicely. Lapped Silver Fir until her legs died at 9. We could use some powder turns, but at least the ice layer is getting harder to find.

Little socked in today. Edelweiss and international Braille runs were interesting.

Armstrong seemed stopped for a while for some reason.

what time was that pic from, AK47bp? Was up for a few Silver Fir hotlaps with my groms until about 3 and had surprisingly nice visibility, pockets of sun. groomed skied really fun!

My 15th season here and this feels like one of the foggiest.

Armstrong was still down at 2pm, i doubt it opened again. Possibly due to unbalanced chairs?

You could see one chair ahead on Chair 2. Couldn't see two. I was fairly gripped first lap international... I literally could not see my next hopturn until I got below adrenalin. It got better throughout the day, but not by much. Good training and pretty decent snow considering. Lots of fun skiing was had.

Got stuck on Ch1 when it stopped for 45 mins. Cold. Buncha studly trollers and lifties had to manually push the chairs around the top bullwheel to get the lift to spin and offload people. Looked like highschool lineman hitting the sled haha.

This was later in the day with "good "vis:

That was taken at 12:04.

Visibility was good mid mountain and below but I left around 1:30 and never saw the sun. Summit side seemed less foggy.
