The "Gotta have some more stoke" thread

[Squirrel99]

A storm rolled into the Northwest late yesterday into today- reminiscient of winter, with dark gray skylines, wind and pouring rain. So I spent the day at work, frustrated to see that a majority of largely unboatable lower river levels had their cfs counts skyrocket and not being able to get in the kayak or on the mtn. bike (felt like missing a powder day). The Snoqualmie river rose a ton today, getting me to ponder how all that rain could have translated into the 'feet' at Alpental if it were only about 20 degrees cooler and two months later. One section went up from 400 cfs to 9300 cfs in two days.

Anyhow, had to post a little leftover stoke from last season to keep the August blues away.

Pics from Crystal Mountain, Mt. Baker and Alpental.

This made my work suck even more. Powder is Gods gift from the heavens.

You guys don't know the start of it when it comes to Squirrel and his stoke-o-meter. Always off the charts he is.

I heart this thread too.

Thanks, Squirrel. Good stuff.

I was thinking the same thing all day yesterday with the storm.

Watching the telemetry pages from Rainier and Hood drop from the 60's to the 40's rules.

I really really really really like Crystal and the surrounding backcountry. So much good stuff. I need to get back home to WA more often. Those pictures reminded me of the good days.
