Hey PNW - Powder Alert!

[KQ]

AND BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING - don't give me the jinx BS. Just try and enjoy it. It's weather not pixies casting spells.

****************************************

Hello Snowriders:

POWDER ALERT!!

The biggest dump in weeks is scheduled for Thursday into Friday.
Powder Alert for Friday morning, with 6-12" new, possibily more.
Snow level will be 2000ft Friday morning. Get going early and stick to north and
NE facing slopes for best quality. Be there when the lifts open. As soon as the sun hits it, it will get heavy this time of year. Wind might be a factor, especially Thursday.
Snow level moderate on Thursday(4000ft), then falling by evening.
Expect a great spring skiing day on Saturday in the sun and warming up.

I'm hut skiing in the Wallowas this weekend, so I'll miss this dump. When I sent my friend Dave, who arranged the trip, the weather repot this morning his response was:
"That's actually perfect given none of us has any idea how to use a
transiever. Bring your sun screen."
Oh, crap.

GO PNW POWDER! GIT SUM!

NOAA is only saying 4-8", so I hope the "Grand Pubah of Powder" is right.

I was going to go skiing at Alpental this morning until I heard that they were getting peak gusts of 74mph at the top of chair 2.

[Buster Highmen]

Think of it as a loofah and graupel facial.

[crstlextrm]

[Duder]

Anyone know about if chair 6 (high campbell) will be running tomorrow at Crystal?
Alpy should be good tomorrow as well. There is a system moving over downtown Seattle as we speak, or type as it be.
