If that is a picture of T-line right now, I'll come down Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. Lemme know if that is real time.

That pic looks like Alpental bc, late spring after a big snow year.

**Viva** · 11-07-2003, 11:37 AM

That is not T-Line, too much terrain.

I can't see Cletus' car.

Bring it!

**The AD** · 11-10-2003, 02:20 PM

Things are starting to look better. Realistically though, don't we go through this most years? It seems like we don't get snow that sticks around until right around Thanksgiving, then it really starts piling up between then and Christmas. That's what we get for being at low elevation, I guess.

I don't know if that White Pass shot warrants a thumbs up. Maybeby tomorrow morning it will be considerablt whiter.

Considering the road was bare about an hour ago I think it looks like a good start (I give it the "thumbs up" for encouragement).

Time will tell my friend - the real test is whether or not it sticks around more than a couple days.

Hey KQ, post the current White Pass webcam pic. Amazing what an hour or two can make.

AD, think again. http://images.wsdot.wa.gov/rweather/White_medium.jpg

Look at my pic now - looks like we got some foo's without proper snow tires.

I was hoping for some kind of "reverse jinx" by saying it looked shitty. So far it's working.

Ahhhhhhhhh gotcha

Looks like over a foot expected tonight into tomorrow. If anyone is looking at any of the relevant areas tomorrow and deems them skiable, lemme know. I got nothing else going on.
