Snow Watch 05/06

i dont remember you being a panda.........

and i dont think theyll be gettin any snow before thanksgiving, neither does steve pool - and according to grant, hes a g, so he cant be wrong
 
sean and i had such great spring skiing yesturday at snoqualmie. so much fun. but im so soar from all those bumps and jumping over the holes where the snow has melted.
 
hahahahahahahaha

grant, you sir are the funniest man ALIVE.

But seriously, the week after thanksgiving, its going to start raining regularly, and temperatures are dropping. Should be back to how it was a week or two ago, snow level right around 3022 feet if you know what I mean.
 
I got sunburned at baker yesterday and the day before.. I don't think I've ever started my goggle tan this early... it was seriously like spring skiing, hard as hell in the morning and all mushy in the afternoon and there was a waterfall off the roof of the lodge. and the snow said: I'm MEEELLLTTTINNGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
even though its supposed to rain, and even though its 5 days away, nws calling for 8000ft snow levels? i dont even know anymore
 
looks like winter might come back after all

oh i didnt kno hood had theirs up, looks like ill be going there instead...prbly not the best of pipes but much better than nothing
 
yeah i havent heard much of the pipe at hood but since i dont have school wednesday and i'll still be in portland i might as well go up. i'll let you know how it is
 
uhhh anyone know if itll be worth going to baker this friday? like id go anyways but people i would go with dont want to go unless snow is somewhat good....and it hasnt snowed in a week
 
renner just said the most fascinating thing on King 5. Due to the temperature inversion right now.....

Today it was 44 degrees in Seattle, and it was 66 up at Paradise at Rainier. CRAZY!
 
the last time i went to baker after it didnt snow for a good while (last year...) the whole mountain was bulletproof. it was... interesting
 
at stevens on sunday it was 30 at the base and 44 at the top of skyline.

and i remember last year when i was up at rainier on november 16th it was 34 just before we entered the park, and 65 once we got to paradise snowfield thingy

it was bad news, there were big avalanches up above us because the glacier was breaking and sliding off the cliffs and shit, baddddd stuff.
 
im finally digging the forecast

but yea

ice falls are no laughing matter

they are sick, but they can be nasty

thats why you generally climb sketchy shit at night, when stuff is all bonded together and all happy
