I plan on in-bounds Bakes...i'd imagine avy will be extreme; black jacket and hot pink pants. btw might want to bring the avy...to get on chair 6 if they go that way...or do some elbow laps
Pretty sure powder flu is hitting tomorrow and while Crystal/Stevens looks good too, checkout the NOAA report for Baker!! I'll be packing my avy gear as well. As of right now I may have a spot available in my car too. NWBoarder, you coming or what?
Still debating Crystal vs. Stevens at this point. According to Crystal's website they're predicting high winds, so they'll most likely keeping the upper and northback lifts closed, in exchange for reduced $50 lift tix. Starting to look like Stevens is the best bet. With as much snow as they're getting everywhere right now, it's really impossible to go wrong. Just can't help wishing you could go somewhere that has 2-3x more dumpage lol.
Stevens was pretty sick today. Soooo many good turns and drops. Snow was coming down hard all afternoon, so I don't doubt Baker will be nice tomorrow too especially after being closed the last few days.
Typical, I have the next 11 days off and there's no storms coming, not to mention, dont think I want to deal with those xmas crowds, unless I beat 90% of the people up there, then hit 5, 6 , 7 runs then hit the road, god I love season passes (riding free the rest of the season :cheeky4
No storms? You must not have checked the weather.....
From NOAA:
Christmas Day
Snow. High near 20. Breezy, with a southeast wind 26 to 29 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.
Tuesday Night
Snow. Low around 16. Southeast wind 11 to 18 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.
Was up at Stevens Friday and Saturday. Rode hard both days, still good snow in my secret spots so it was great. Might hit a few runs tomorrow morning before heading up north for family. Crystal on Wednesday, Baker on Friday, Schweitzer on Sunday. Love being off work for the holidays.
Nice. I will probably be hiking tye stick, maybe up to hollywood..... Maybe out wenatchee bowl. I don't really care. Just want to get some decent turns, and avoid crowds. Avy danger looks promising tomorrow too.
I'm very tempted to ride on Christmas Day. I really doubt it's gonna be that crowded, but i could be way off base. Would be either Stevens or Crystal since I bought the pass deals at both.
Gah....family plans changed, no shred for me today. Looks like Stevens is still limited opening as Hwy 2 is still closed between the pass and Leavenworth.
I'll most likely be heading to Snoqualmie either on Wednesday or Thursday (both if I'm lucky!), so there will be Alpental laps in my near future if any one else wants to join.
