Snow in the PNW 20-21: We may have Corona but Corona doesn't have us!

[bfree]

There was glorious preseason inbounds wannabe pro style InstaTwatFace worthy ski touring to be had at Crustal this morning.
The base has around 12-18 inches of unconsolidated snow and there is 2-4 feet at the top. Groomers were working on Lucky Shot and Discovery Meadow to begin packing it all down. If this weekend storm pans out they should be in great shape for November 20 or maybe even sneak in a few days earlier.

It was all so sparkly!

Very nice. I snagged this capture from the webcam this morning.

Very strong work. Groomer track to the top?

I got to xtal late today and missed the crowds (A lot was full) but still snuck in a couple of GV laps and only hit a couple rocks. No skiing pictures but GV was awesome and iceburg skied surprisingly well.

I beat XavierD by a few hours and it was primo; no rocks in Green Valley or Iceberg if you kept your speed up and went light on the edges.

I bought a Crystal pass and then moved to Colorado. Enjoy your 900" season.

That would be sweet. Got a whole lot of unused PTO that I need to burn before the end of the year.

Anyone in Seattle area have a Tyrolia Attack jig I could borrow? Need to mount up 4 pairs of skis for me and the mini Phats and would prefer using a jig if possible vs paper template.

Don't have a jig, but been contemplating 3D printing some mounting/drill guides for various bindings, and this would be a good excuse for me to finally do it. You'd probably get about 5-6 mounts per guide.

Shoot me a PM if you're interested and we can figure it out.
