Cascadia/WA Pow Farming ‘23/‘24

[Ørion]

Hey y'all, looking for a wedding venue that's woodsy/mountain adjacent next fall. Room for 100-150ish people. We've got a list of the Google-able options but wondering if the WA mags have any suggestions that might be harder to find otherwise. Please send em my way!

Tap into the kid's college fund but I think these people can handle a wedding that big and it is an amazing spot on a nice day. Not WA though

Richmond beach upper level has nice Olympic views. Said it is big enough for 100.

The grotto at St Edward’s state park.

I know two couples who got married at Crystal. Both gave it high marks.

Mission Ridge does off season weddings. Plenty of space for that many people. Bar, deck with fire pit.

Alterra wedding? Probably divorced by now.

The upper sections of Stevens skied really well yesterday. The 6” of new was just barely enough to cover the crust (in most spots) and wind loaded areas skied even better. Some surprisingly good turns off of 7th, Tye Bowl, and Big Chief Bowl areas. With hardly anyone venturing off trail, lots of good to be had.

Turned out to be a good day to test out my new Revolt 114’s and do a head-to-head with my Black Ops 118’s. Gotta love being able to ski fatties in April, especially after this funky season.

First reports on the comparison? I am liking my Revolt 114s overall. Definitely comp ski feeling

Is Sunday the 14th the last day for Stevens?

This shoulder season is brutal this year… too cold and grey in town. Not enough percip to be worth the cold. Not enough sun to be worth the lack of percip….

Finally able to log in, but not able to post pics. Maybe 2pole is using up all the bandwidth.

April has been gangbusters so far with everything from cold chalk to creamed corn, graupel squalls to sun.

How unusual

Spent most of the day lounging on the Jim Jack sun deck yesterday. Booting up once in a while for perfect corn laps, drinking, eating, chatting with randos and eating mushrooms. It was like a day at the beach, paddling out every so often to catch a few waves.

Gorgeous evening to squeeze in a few after work turns. I usually wait to do this tour until May, but this year’s snowpack necessitated an earlier start. Conditions will likely be very good up high after a little more melt freeze, saw very little pollen and lots of smooth surfaces.

We are setting up for epic corn, evidence ^^^ and forecast

[jacob_dbu]

This weekend should be amazing. Sad I won't be able to get out there...

Hard pass even if I didn’t have to work. It’ll be a total shit show.

What is the best site for forecasts for Baker proper? On standby over the next few weeks waiting for a good weather window.

Also, any good spots to stay for a night or two in Glacier would be greatly appreciated as well.

I’m finding the noaa forecasts out here to be pretty meh, and lacking a lot of useful detail that you’d want.

If you follow him daily/regularly, I like Michael Snyder from PNW Weather watch. He dives into the different forecasting models, and how their tracks compare, etc.

TBH I’m sure there are others here with deeper resources, but I’m a fan of his model comparison approach and regional focus.

Link to his latest video below:

Also- going to rally up to Krusty Land tomorrow for one last day of lift served goodness before the season switches over for me.

Brown jacket, red pants, red goggles. Ask for change and I’ll have fruit snacks to share (assuming the lifties don’t get the donations first).
