2013/14 Inland PNW thread

Pretty fun spring conditions from about 10-2pm today at Jackass. Then cloud cover and temps started dropping a bit and firming things up, but still skied decent.

With Jackass extending the weekend schedule till May, looks like it’ll be the spot for few more weeks!

Hey everyone, my wife and I are driving from Golden, BC back to Truckee in just over a week and hoping to break up the drive by going for a tour on the 22nd somewhere in Idaho. Would love to check out the Sawtooths. Don't know the area or snowpack, would anyone be willing to suggest any scenic low-angle touring options?

Not looking for any secret stashes, we'll take the most touristy, trafficked and tracked tours out there.

try the Sun Valley Beta thread,
we're hundreds of miles north of the Sawtooths

Silver was full spring today — heard it was wintery on some aspects earlier on in the day!

Little SL ventured off the bunny hill today and had a blast!

Alright guys, who was wearing a TGR shirt (hoodie?) at Tavolata in Spokane last Friday? I was going to ask for change for a nickel, but I got shy.

49* says they'll open next weekend, but 4 days of record warm temps will exponentially increase the large bare spots at the bottom.

We haven't appreciated the changes up here in N Idaho. Here's another one. Hard to know what it will mean. Thoughts? http://www.powder.com/trending-news/...terra-acquires

The inland northwest (aka inter-mountain northwest) has been incredibly fortunate to actually have a competitive market among the ski areas. The competition has been really really good for skiers with lower prices, lots of options, and plenty of inventory/capacity. This purchase accelerates the trend of Schweitzer pulling out of the local market and into the national market as demand for services grows during this era of consolidation and shifting of risk from resorts to skiers/consumers. Even with Schweitzer increasingly positioning itself as a national destination, we are still really lucky to have Mt. Spokane, Silver, 49N, Lookout fighting it out for local $.

The Schweitzer logo still looks like a marketing fail to me with constant conflation with the Seattle Kraken logo. Nothing original about either version of the same stylized S....
