Pretty tame "Blizzard" at dweebus. But enough to cut Power to Elk and Campbell Lodge. Good day for pocket sammies. Country club mini golf face shots most of the day. I'll take it. No patrol work of any kind unsurprisingly. Back tomorrow for the inevitable cluster...
Ghost town and deep wind buff at Mission.

2 meter base says it's time to open Alpy!
Even odds it doesnt open till Saturday, or atleast Ch 2 doesnt. Big winds, big snow = power outages, WSDOT closures, and constant overhead avalanche hazard.Quote:

Hwy 2 is closed, so there that. Will be curious to see how 90 fares tonight.
Snoqualmie has power out and is/was running on backup power, so no night skiing tonight. We will see how long it takes to restore power.Quote:

I'm impressed they've kept 90 open this long... Fingers crossed for Thursday!
I had a really good time at Stevens today. Lifts opened, lifts closed, many excellent laps were had. So much fun.

Hard to stop today when it kept getting better every lap.

I was surprised this morning when I saw Stevens Pass is completely closed but I-90 is bare and wet with no restrictions!Quote:

Rough start early. The goods are good. Further photo-faffing limited by pea soup up high but it's clearing...
Wow. Doesn't anyone have to go to work anymore? :)

Especially if there's another gas leak.
They did have employees selling beers to people in line during the covid days.Quote:

Pretty damn good day . Some bottomless turns too be had . Typical nw powder , not super light and a bit of work after it was cut up. I did four top to bottoms . Legs we’re done at 12:30. Had a fun time skiing a lap with MR and Mrs Dromond .

Huskydoc's pic is the story of the day really.
The turns were very good, but there were very many people. Both Chinook and the Gondy were delayed opening which is part of the line accumulation. We went to FQ and did TLC tree laps until C6 opened. Unlike the long (but orderly and efficient) lines on C6 over the weekend it was a frothing scrum to get to the corral at C6 today.
Couple laps there. Then went to Powder Bowl for some surprisingly good turns. Then went looking at some things that we could see with tracks in them, but which were clearly the result of rope ducking. Went back to TLC trees a time or three, I lost track.
Good day, but weirdly, Saturday and Sunday were better.
Anyone make it to Stevens today? Headed up tomorrow for some storm skiing and hoping some fun turns in the trees.
Fuck me. And fuck that. Thing #2 came home pretty thrashed. Said rope ducking was the order of the day off 6.Quote:

Right on...
It's important for the press to share scenes and information like this every once in a while...

FYI, touchy windslab on ENE aspects. This was inbounds Exterminator below West Face.
Holy shit, close call, eh?
Close one…reversed Asym BGs are bad luck or is it just personal preference?

Missed this and obviously missed you.Quote:

Nuking fluffy dry stuff when we left this afternoon. So many fresh lines out there.
Ride home was crazy. Pass was a mess. 15-20-mph all the way down to Index. Snow on the road all the way to Sultan. Plows were out but not keeping up.

Scary, lose a ski? I’ll go by that spot on Saturday

Was that today or yesterday?Quote:

Ugh, got caught in the pass closure from 2-5pm. Slight annoyance on an perfect day.Quote:

I was looking up at what I think was that are on exterminator on Weds from the chair and there was a really loaded, steep looking spot I saw - not sure if that is the spot you ended up in or not. Glad to hear that didn’t end up worse. Patrol said things were quite unstable Wednesday at least.
Yup. Thanks for the video even though it freaks me out. I have no idea if this helps but a buddy lost a ski kinda like that in Jackson and the patrol had dogs that found it, and they had it the next morning.Quote:
