Mountains of Snow
posted by January 31 at 14:22 PM
onSnoqualmie Pass is still closed due to avalanche danger (at least until 9 am tomorrow), as is Stevens Pass (due to a multi-vehicle accident this afternoon; night operations are canceled tonight).
Crystal has 9 inches of new in the last 24 hours, it’s snowing heavily, and the road is currently open (pack chains). Mt. Baker has 14 inches of fresh snow and has issued a deep-snow warning. Stevens is reporting 13 new inches and Snoqualmie Summit, 10. Baring more avalanches or highway closures, it should be a fantastic weekend on the slopes. Viva La Niņa!

How much on Alpental?
don't ski crystal out on saturday, snow bitches. i'm headed up for superbowl sunday.
Dude, Will, it's a mile from the Summit. Take a guess... Yes, 10.
Mt. Hood was great last night. 24 inches of new snow, balmy mid-twenties temps and only 30ish mph winds. Heaven.
Has anyone ever skiied/boarded at White Pass? I know it's not very big, but it's cheaper than Crystal or Stevens and I'm an old man who doesn't need a ton of terrain.
Nah, it usually gets more snow.
If you ski there you know that.
Slight disconnect between "multi-vehicle accident" and "fantastic weekend on the slopes".
will, might the website answer your question? just a thought...

Jesus fucking CHRIST! Are we entering another ice age? Yet no snow for us city dweller :(
Guess I can't complain though, with all them trucks at a stand still and very little work to be done as a result, I am making an unreasonably awesome amount of money to spend 8 hours a day making snarky comments on Slog...

don't you understand people; WE'RE TRAPPED!!! if those semis can't make it over the passes, we're going to starve! We can't count on California to feed us!
Being out of town the last 2 weekends, I was so looking forward to riding tonight! I can't wait to get out there. The snow is great right now, yet I've only been able to use my pass 4 times this year.
