yup i just heard that on the news! and the operations part of the snoqualmie's website confirms even though the front page says they still don't know hahahaha.

4" at Stevens today, really really light fluff over... ice. Still, it packed well, made minigolfing fun when I was spending the day with my boarder friends. Kinda wish it was a little wetter, it would have filled in the holes and all better... but I'm starting to sound like Grant, I need to stop.

Woohoo for more snow on the way, and woohoo for you Snoqualmie hooligans moving back to your own damn area.
 
Stevens was packed too. Was ridiculous but the powder was sweeeet after a week of ice down at Hood. Good times other than the lines and shattering the heelpiece of my binding when landing off a rail. Then having to walk down the entire park, man that sucked ass.
 
oh, and the park pass at stevens is not doing shit. most of the people watching the video are excatly the types of people that they should be trying to keep out. They need an alternitive park that you don't need a pass for. because right now everyone and their mom is getting a park pass.
 
and is there much in the stevens park right now? Not sure if its worth getting the park pass tomorrow or not, since I'll be with a bunch of people that won't be going in there.
 
good point:There should be a pre req for the park. Not sure what it could be. Maybe cork 9 over waterfall or something..... For real though they need to put up the mini park over by dasiy. POW POW on Tuesday....
 
I'm banking on that being true, It's baker or stevens tomorrow. Pay for skiing or use the pass... I guess who ever has the most snow. I need FACESHOTS.
 
no they just don't need to require a pass yet, nothing is big enough. then when stuff gets big enough they can make it so that for the left side of the park you don't need a pass, and for the right side you do. I mean there is no reason to require a pass to ski brennens trail or what ever it is. The main Idea is to keep them out of the waterfall line of jumps. and then the rails below that. So just have the pass necesary to hit the water fall or at most the left side of the park where the bigger rails are. Yeah do that Brian.

Terrible timing, and of course the backside opens Thur but I gotta meet up with my girlfriend from OR to exchange christmas gifts cause I leave Sunday for canada. GOD DAMN IT i wanna say "fuck you all im going skiing bitches".
 
It's dumping everywhere in the North Cascades...

I wonder if Pollard/Hall will make it here for this weekend...
 
I wish that would work but im in everett over christmas break and shes in portland. So that excuses wont work. Im super pissed about this now cause shes kinda being a bitch right now and really id rather be skiing.
 
Sometimes I'd say dump her for skiing, but it's a terrible thing to do when your not getting any pussy and the powder runs out.

today sucked but here are some picatures

 
So Crystal today was insane, TONS of snow, all kinds of untracked goodness all over the mountain, super deep, super dry and fluffy, NO lines anywhere. Definately one of my best days ever UNTIL I lost one of my skis after doing this drop next to the green valley chair... took me an hour and 15 minutes to find the damn ski, I practically dug out the whole mountain. Patroller finally showed up around 3:45 (so all the lifts were closed) to help me, and I found it shortly after. This was my motherships, so I was about to cry when I couldn't find it.

So next time you're going up the Green Valley chair, look off to the right and you'll see the mess I made, HUGE hole dug out of the snow (maybe 2 feet deep?)
