after year after year of absolute disappointment. i can safely say that this year hasn't been an exception. It has been worse than say last year, but it is always whack. Granted, there is usually like a week+ span that is actually pretty good. but out of say... 5-6 months, that isn't acceptable. Rails are usually in monotonous set ups, yet plentiful jumps are beyond whack, and the pipe situation is just aggravating. The only real bright spot is pretzels and polish donuts, but that is more a reflection on Shalbot's efforts, at least from what I've seen in the way of snoqualmie events over the years. stevens>all
