Are you living up there? I try to make it up there as often as possible, which isn't nearly as often as I'd like. Was just there this past weekend, and rode 3 straight days.

can't wait to make it to baker.

just moved from the east coast, desperate to find others to board with. Only gotten to hit up snoqualmie so far to teach someone.

Which snoqualmie did you ride at? I'm sure your aware that there is four. Depending on which one sometime you gotta checkout Summit central and Alpental!

only went to central.

not spectacular. It had a few good runs and some powder, but the runs are so short. on top of that the lift lines are really long and not very monitored.

i will be at alpental this coming friday, stevens pass on thursday. hoping for some better riding there.

Snoqualmie is def the closest, but I rarely go there. When I do, it's usually Alpental. I think I hit Central twice each of the last couple years to hit the park or if there's some event like the Grenade Games or Mamafest or something.

only reason i'm thinking of going to snoqualmie is because a few buddies are coming from back east. we wanted to go out friday night, so a short drive back to seattle would be best.

this rain storm that's predicted is gonna screw things all up. I hope all of the forcasts are wrong and the mountains get pounded with a few feet of snow.

Yeah they def. weren't wrong this rain is killin us. i was hoping to go riding with my cousins this weekend. Thats not happening!!!!!!!!! Alpental can be good on powder days, central can also if you go and ride the new chair. I forget its name at the moment.

I'm still going. I've got friends from back east flying out tonight specifically to go boarding in the next few days.

I might take the drive up to baker tomorrow because they've actually gotten some snow from this storm.

Crystal apparently didn't get hit that hard from the rain, so they should be decent. Obviously not peak conditions, but still. I'll probably ride there on friday and/or saturday. Their website said that it was snowing at the peak, and a mix elsewhere.

crystal was closed today and i can expect it will be tomorrow so friday conditons may not be that great. I love crystal but i hate all the skiers, this is what pushes me to the shittier snocrummy areas even though the terrain is better at crystal. just can stand all those douche bait skiers.
