Official Stevens Pass Thread

no for the chairs, radio chips or whatever that open the gates, that means no more buying a weekday pass and going up on weekends
 
Its a shame I cant bring my friends and have them straight up not buy a ticket anymore, but its an excellent business decision. They have to hire less lifties and it allows gapers to buy their day passes online and skip the annoying lines. The gate thing really isnt bad at all from my experience. They had them at solitude, I didnt know what the fuck to do the first time and failed hard, but after one time it was super easy, no problems~
 
that system was really cheep. This new RTP System is the first in north america to have all Stevens systems intergrated into it. the gate have two or more sensors to see you coming, to make sure your the same height as your profile, you will be able to track what lifts you ride and how much vert you do in a year, all sorts of cool shit.

Fuck that, I have my chem mid term on the 26th and the final on the 12th that blows. nice dates.

Of course I am not stoked on my chem profesors choice of Nov 26th for the mid term. seriusly the day before thanksgiving. What an ass hole. He's a shitty profesor too.
 
god im glad i ride baker and that all the hippies around dont let Duncan do gay shit like this.
but, then again.... baker is stuck in a national forest so we cant expand either.... guess the universe does balance itself eventually.... karma is a bitch.
 
Gay shit like what? RFID? You are kidding me right, id say its a great idea for them. Very smart business move~
 
It's finally snowing at Steven's again instead of raining. Who knows how long that will last though, the white looks a lot better than mud though.
 
The latest issue of Powder mag has a short article about stevens in it. Nothing special but I was surprised to see it nontheless~
 
little do you know that duncan is actually does lots of gay shit, you just dont see it cuz he's sneeky. unless you work there, then youll see it
 
Went up today tested out my new touring setup, worked perfectly. Excellent day, perfect way to start the season. Theres was about 10 inches of wet pow on top, very fun and im super stoked on my skis. Tons of jibbers out there as well. My roommates were hitting some boxes and some snowboarders were hitting a hip thingy in the pipe. Some snowboarders walked all the way up to skyline, stepping through the snow into water in a few places. Then I watched them crawl up seventh heaven, what the fuck. Not sure how that was worth it but If theyre happy im happy~
 
Be careful out there tomorrow~

Also, there was a close call at Stevens Pass Tuesday when

an experienced ski patroller fell in a deep and

unconsolidated snowpack becoming inverted and sinking

head first into the snow. Fortunately an alert partner

was there very quickly to avert a potentially deadly

situation. Another good reminder to ski with a partner

and have good clear communications as to intentions.

New snow began accumulating over these numerous potential

weak layers early Wednesday at gradually warmer

temperatures along with increasing crest level winds.

This new wind affected snow is building areas of unstable

wind slab snow mainly at higher elevations and near

ridges.

Although the overall snow pack remains shallow,

additional new snow has further buried vegetation and

terrain anchors making avalanche potential greater,

especially at higher elevations.

Along the east slopes and lower elevations below about

4000 feet, the shallow snow cover is maintaining many

terrain and vegetation anchors helping to minimize

avalanche potential.

 
Alright ill be at stevens these next few days so if you want to meet up shoot me a call 206 601 2514~

scott did you really just post your phone number in an online forum? when you go to revy im giving border patrol your number and telling them not to let you back in.
 
Can I see your passport sir?

Ahh I dont have it but heres my phone number.

Oh yeah, someone called in about this number, youre a terrorist.
 
I wont be riding at all I guess. Roads and other drivers are too fucking crazy for me to attempt this without snow tires. Fuck you guys that made it up today.
 
I'm sitting at home still in my ski gear. I'm about to go sledding at Gasworks.

Also, anyone going up tomorrow? I'd like to ride, but I have some doubts about my car making it without the proper tires.
 
Oh and apparently its too rocky at the top of big chief to open it... what the hell. Seems weird to me~
 
I had a great day up there with the exception of a core shot from hell to my Mojos. The powder was phenomenal even though none of the steep parts of the mountain were open, but it was definitely fun to cut down through some of the trees. I'll be up there the next three days as well.
