crystal:

"More snow is expected to fall over the weekend... LET IT SNOW!!!"

 

[skier_boy26]

^but there will be a healthy dose of rain in the interim. We have a ways to go.

 

[Jamie_Baril]

dude its so fuckin cold in the foothills tonight, i bet all the sno the summit and alpy got yesterday will stick around through this weekend

 

[skier_boy26]

you would be wrong

all of it wont go, but when you get snow levels that might exceed 6,000ft with a lot of precip, snow melts, and it melts fast.

 

[skier_boy26]

to put it lightly

 

[SirFryanator]

except the base of crystal is well below 6000.

 

[Literature]

A friend and I need a study break today, so we packed up the Batmobile and busted up to Snoqualmie. This is over on West.

Nice to get the snow back under my feet.

 

[skier_boy26]

thats kind of my point man

the precip in the coming couple of days wont be snow, it'll be rain. coupled with warmer air temps, it melts stuff pretty quickly.

 

[SirFryanator]

oh yeah for sure. that will suck but by the end of november we'll have a solid base I'm pretty sure.

 

[Jamie_Baril]

if only i could drive......

 

[prophet]

there are boxes out?

 

[Literature]

There are boxes everywhere, the one we hit was already in position to be hit, so it only required a jump instead of a crew to get it into position.

Some of the features still need a bit of loving though, I see rust and busted panels on a lot of them. A good powergrinder session and some black enamel will make them good as new.

n00bs

 

[Brit1275]

latest forecast I've read says snow levels high today and tomorrow, then dropping to 2000 feet over the weekend.

 

[caylorswift]

^then they start climbing again after the weekend.

god damn rollercoaster weather and its sweet scent of pineapples.

 

[skibum193]

you need to shut it about that deadly fruit...

 

[prophet]

some of us have been busy riding good mountains in past years

 

[caylorswift]

scent was the wrong word.. i should've said hint of pineapple.

so delicious.

 

[=nick=]

pineapple shisha so tasstyyy

 

[mr_aj_johnson]

Supposed to snow over here tonight. and hopefully thru the weekend.

 

[zemke]

is anywhere opening this weekend

 

[cobra_commander]

Whistler on the 17th.

 

[cobra_commander]

and it did not get to warm today.

 

[prophet]

ts snowing in whistler village i guess

 

[cobra_commander]

at least that's the word on the street, was also snowing at stevens around 6 or 7 this evening not sure about now though.

 

[cobra_commander]

It is snowing at stevens and snoqualmie right now. (11:00pm)

 

[Shralpinstein]

I am rolling up to stevens in the morning..Hopefully we can pull some rails together.

 

[Elijah.]

I heard it's dumping, or was dumping, at Whistler.

 

[Shralpinstein]

dumping rain at stevens.

 

[caylorswift]

and baker as well.

this weekend/early next week looks promising though...

 

[bigbuds]

All this rain should be snow right now and all the mountains in WA should of been open for T-day!!!But now it's lookin like this weekened we should get some snow and hopefully BAKER can open up by T-day and we can ride some pow. Anyways hope for the best. Stevens was fun on tuesday it felt good to get up and take a run. Don't worry It's coming soon.

 

[sdfjklioeur]

lets hike baker again this sunday

 

[cobra_commander]

It's only raining because fools went skiing before the 19th, I warned you and now look at what you did.

 

[skier_boy26]

fuck it, no ski area is going to be open by turkey day. 3 feet is a lot, and we are not going to get 3 feet between now and then.

 

[cobra_commander]

whistler will be.

 

[dontski32]

When did grant's corny ass become the hear all and say all of weather.

I smell negativity and dick breath. and its all coming from domers direction

die whore

 

[bigbuds]

Debbie Downer.... Remember what ski areas are in washington then think about it. ie BAKER can get pooped on pretty hard! 3 feet might be here sooner than you know it. I still have hope.

 

[NoTeefa]

Dude Grant is like yoda when it comes to weather. I hear ya about the dick breath thing though

 

[Jamie_Baril]

haha

 

[skier_boy26]

could happen

but high snow levels and then high pressure doesn't usually mean copious amounts of snow.

id rather just let it happen than to wish to hope that it might.

 

[Literature]

Oh hell no. It is not my fault, in fact I saw God smile (in a "I'm going to bring the snow" sort of way) when we went up to Snoqualmie.

 

[bigbuds]

SNOW!!! I'm having dreams about faceshots at Baker on Tuesday. Make my dreams reality!

 

[mtbakerteacher]

Nottt happeninggg... Unless Sam has been holding out on us with info!!

 

[bigbuds]

One way or another it's going to happen. maybe not this tuesday but sometime soon. Either way I hope to ski on tuesday. I might end up hiking stevens again just to get out if nobody in WA opens next week.

 

[mtbakerteacher]

I'll go Thanksgiving day or Friday. Or Saturday/ Sunday. Or all of them if the mountain is open after turkey day!

 

[caylorswift]

i have not gotten a call from my boss yet. doesnt look like tuesday is gonna happen, unless they decide to say fuck it and throw it together in a day. probably wont happen.

 

[mtbakerteacher]

That's not so unplausible... But I agree.

 

[TannerBalls]

if it was 3 degrees colder baker would be getting lots of snow right now...

snow advisory over 4000 feet tho

 

[snocompton]

To much god damn rain. All the snow in the pass right now is getting destroyed.

 

[rossta.]

is anyone even going to be open this thanksgiving?  im leaving for WA tmrw, and im debating about bringing my skis or not.  whats the hiking like at snoqualmie?
