It is sixty fucking degrees in Bellingham right now, its ussually not this warm most of the time in the summer.
I am now selling all of my ski gear, and I am going to buy a jet ski and a boat.
Fuck Winter Im over it, its not going to snow this year, and my chance of taking any ski pics is zilch, unless I can get somebody to fly me someplace else.
Gear Swap beeatch! :fm:
It'll come.
Here's to a much happier time, MBS......5 1/2 years ago, to be exact. All 1,124 inches of it. :D

Yeah, it's been a rough start to the season (with the exception of two 'good' Baker days).
January is going to be off the f-in hook. It has to. There is no ifs', ands', or buts' about it. I don't know what we did to piss off the lil' bastard nino this year, but only rain, warm temps, and high pressure = frustrated peoples in the NW, for sure. Kind of like that same feeling when you haven't got laid in a while (and in the PNW's case, even the fat ladys are turning us down). Oh, and a lovely inversion forecasted with temps in the mtns mid-50's this week.
It'd be nice to tell that crazy f'er to stop throwing all those pineapples are way (or at least next time get a shot of Alaskan Artic Air to mix with the precip).
I'm going to take a shot at some 'projected' openings that now seem more realistic.... (with no snow in the forecast through Tue Dec. 21).
Stevens Pass opens December 25 (it's not there, but I'm projecting a Christmas storm to open Stevens).
Alpental opens January 8 with a week long snow event the first week of January.
MBS, my subie's pre-programmed for Little Cottonwood, Ta-hoe, Jackson, and interior BC if times call for desperate measures. Hit me up in January if my false weather conditions don't materialize. In the mean time, we could have the ol' PBR drinkoff (Z-BO- you got a lot of Ole E to start drinking)
Come 1/5/05, I'm going to wherever the snow is. I'm hoping we have something decent by 12/25, but what with the hellidays, I'm bound to the local options.
There's always a couch in Park City if you get sick of it there....of course our snowpack is rather crunchy right now....
Trust me ive been thinking about that option, if it doesnt snow here soon and your snowpack gets better, im on my way, and ill bring a keg of real beer with me too.Quote:

35cm 2 days ago in Banff, 1.8m alpine base in the Purcells and over 3 metres in the Revelstoke Alpine.
Everywhere else got pissed on accept for the non-bermuda triangle.

Grant, aren't you an alcoholic regardless of snow pack???? Maybe if we all got together and got good and drunk, the snow will start to fall...oh wait...that is what we have been doing for the past 2 months...time for plan B- Squirrel, pack up the car we're going to UT.
It's not snowing there either.Quote:

Girlski, Banff is also pre-loaded into the subie's snow finder. Something better get here by New Year's or I'm heading out on the road to wherever that snow is - AB, UT, WY, CA, BC, etc...Quote:

Count me in, im getting fucking desperate, and my liver cant hold up to this much longer.
Yo G,
Keep up the rant. It seems to be working.
It IS snowing at Stevens right now and 28 degrees.
"Forecast 6-8 inches of snow forecasted for tonight, we hope!"
BWA! The only thing funnier is Snocrummy trying to claim they would open when Stevens and Crustal (which did actually open) both said they would open. Kind of silly promising to open sitting on a 24" base with 5 inches of rain incoming... Regardless... HAHAHAHAHA.Quote:

I too am praying for a big ole pow dump to hit the PNW. I rolled the dice and gambled on airfare to Seattle for Dec 26th to Dec 31. At the time in Nov it was dumping in UT and CA, the price of airfare seemed to sky rocket over night. Reno and SLC got bumped outta my price range. Praying that this dry spell for the PNW ends on the 25th with a monster storm.

well grant if it makes you feel any better I just sat around and froze my ass off in front of some 60 foot rail for 4 hours, got nothing done, then got my car towed. yah, i'm broke too. awesome.
Lets see here......
Saturday - pull my hip flexor so i could barely walk
Sunday - get some nasty flu, puke everything including just water up, had to go to the hospital
Monday into Tuesday - Turn into a popsicle in front of a bunch of jibbers, get my car towed and pay some dumbfuck redneck from Samak $100 so i can get my piece of shit car back so i can drive home.
yay
Guess I start looking into just how transferable my ticked is. Last year on a two week trip to the interior of BC the forcast was dry, after 4 days I hopped in the rental car and drove from Fernie to Squaw. If it is snowing anywhere that week I will be chasing it.Quote:

Drink, and do a snow dance.
From that Sat. loop it looks like the Sierra Nevada resorts in Southern Spain (like Sol y Nieve) are getting POUNDED. Go there.Quote:
