Snoqualmie/Alpental Thread

ill be there tomorrow trying my best to not look like a jackass skiing in my US Army issued goretex suite. its all digi-camo so look for me and come say hello. im looking for some people to ride with.
 
agreed, i was up 1/19 yesterday and it was to akward, people falling off chairs and such, like often. central was pretty dope but that quad is so busy to get to it, major bummer. decent snow tho
 
Is the correct word. Everything was blower and DEEEEP. So stoked to have a day like that. Early lifts from 8:30 till 9:25-50ish were pretty low key.
 
truth. sunday i went BC and that was fun and yesterday it was super sunny and the yellow chair was funnn. haven't seen it that nice in awhile.
 
good god! the first jump has so much more kick than last week! oh vey! i didn't like it very much! i hit it twice and didn't hit the second one at all. :s

falling on my ass all day today
 
my friend who was up yesterday said the first one you need not much speed for and is hella lippy. he said the second one was like perfect too. who knows.
 
Swung by on my way back to Tacoma from Montana, hit up night skiing.

I should have brought my ice skates, so sketchy right now.

The landings to the two biggest hits in Central are fucking ridiculously flat. I could have a picnic out there if I wanted. Somebody is going to get demolished on those.

I hope it snows soon, because they need it bad.
 
Wtf. They Snoqualmied the jumps again. They were so nice a few weeks ago and they just had to go and fuck em up.
 
The main jump and my Hellbents just could not agree today. It was horrible. My choices turned out to be boosting 3/4 down the landing, or casing on the knuckle. We're getting a fuck load of snow though so some pow skiing is in the near future.
 
Anybody know when they are going to be adding more jumps/features to Central??? They have had the same setup for a minute now...
 
uber gay didnt work.

fine ill just put them back on asshole...haha.

dude where the FUCK are all the NS riders on the hill? NO one ive talked to in person at the mountin that skis so far is on NS....
 
I spent the most time in line for a chair ever this weekend. 35 minutes to get on the double at East, fucking ridiculous.
 
chair 2 was 45min-hour.

But I pissed the crowd off a good one when i decided to go be friends with patrol and jump the line.

two of te patrol were douche bags though and said they weren't allowed to bring non patrol with them so they waited 10+ minutes for another patroler to show up. The Rest were chill though.
 
yeah i left east on Sunday after one run, it was ridiculous. Central wasn't as bad.

And yeah, they really need to change up the set up. Its getting really boring for some reason(although i cant hit all the features) And need to add the two jumps at the top that they had last year.

 
it was unfortunate to hear on the news that some unlucky people got stuck at alpental when I-90 closed and were forced to shred the powpow all day
 
Alpental won't be open right away tomorrow, says on their site that they need to do avalanche work on alpental road and the ski area before opening. Traffic blocked from going left. All the other 3 areas will be open on normal operating hours.
