Agreed - a worthy price to pay if I get quiet mid-weeks after the holidays.

Hell, I even indulge in the occasional over-priced beer and concessions. Not that much more of a markup than at a ballgame or a local restaurant.

I hope it’s really busy next week

Yep. Part of my family used to be in the ski hill business. If the operation isn't in the black by new years eve, the season is a bust.

Yep, it’s easy to hate on the hoards of tourists but most only use a small fraction of the mountain for a couple hours a day and without them, the resorts wouldn’t be there and the locals wouldn’t get all the great skiing they do. Honestly, the holiday tourist rush never bothered me as much as the brahs that drive an hour or two from the nearest big city 15-20 times a year on a dirtbag budget and think they own the place because they’re “locals.”

Why are the ski areas open today? Why are they encouraging young, dumb, males to put others' lives in danger driving to the mountain to ski in shit conditions?

No problem making it to and from Stevens today. Skied pow till noon and enjoyed the fastest trip home this season since all the Levy bound tourons were trapped on the west side. It was wonderful.

Nice. Glad somebody got to enjoy it. We’ve got studded snows on my wife’s SUV and it was like being on roller skates this morning. No traction. No stopping.

Looks like no Christmas Eve turns at Stevens either per their IG account.

Possibly a RWD model. Why someone would think it's a good idea to drive a RWD in these conditions, I don't know.

I hope shit is melted by morning but it's still 32F here.

[jacob_dbu]

I bet it’s a performance model that was shipped with summer tires…

thanks for that.

Is the freezing rain going to absolutely fuck the snowpack going forward? I just can't imagine new snow is going to adhere to that layer of ice.

that's not the question

the question is how well the next snow bonds to the rain runnels

[Ted Striker]

It was thick in my yard. Measured 15" snow covered with 1/3" sheet of ice.

Freezing level is up around 6000' and probably climbing. Heavy rain is dropping a lot of water on what was a dry unconsolidated snowpack. Strong south winds. Going to be a lot of natural wind and wet slab releases today and tomorrow. That might yield a bit of a reset.

Additionally, I've heard mixed reports that some areas didn't get much/any freezing rain, so it's (theoretically) not everywhere. Sure was crazy here at sea level though. Would've needed a torch to get into my truck yesterday.

My sister in law parked her car in my driveway last night and when she left her car had slid a good ten feet. My driveway isn't all that steep. I'm amazed she didn't end up in the road.

[Ted Striker]

That's basically all of seattle reddit right now

[The AD]

No one assumes you need to put chains on just to park your car.

I get that some people need to work, but this stuff is just ridiculous.
