Right outside my door. Who's in? Beers and food at the 5 spot afterwards

Only about 2" in Redmond, but enough to ski across town to the library.

Anyone interested in a ski-in Pub Club at the Workshop Tavern tonight?

I'm already guzzlin'. Who needs pube club

I got a ticket for "improper lane usage" on the way to work this morning. he didn't say I was driving unsafe or anything, but using the lanes improperly when there was a cop nearly stopped in the left lane (I thought he must be looking for somebody or something) and I went around him in the right lane on Pacific just west of UW hospital. WTF?

so, you're a lawyer - sue him already

What a loser that cop musta been. Like you can see the lanes.

Yeah, I took pictures of it. Cars and trucks were driving in 9 1/2 lanes where there are normally 4. The cop was so freaked out by the snow and going so slow I honestly thought he wasn't even trying to drive.

Comming down heavy in Balard right now. Can't wait till 3 when I can get out and ride! Riding in this morning was way cool.

I climbed up the steep Queen Anne Blvd Couloir in Seattle today. I never did use my ice tools though it was slippery at times. The couloir is lined by vertical cliffs of varying height. There are many intrusions of glass amidst the brickwork rock. It looks a lot like natural fenestration. Also there are many breaks in the cliffs allowing an escape if you should have to bail before the steepest section of the couloir about two-thirds up.

I was not alone in the couloir though as I had to constantly pass people on the way up and dodge snowboarders, skiers, innertubers, sledders, and excited dogs coming down. It was the busiest couloir in the state on this Tuesday, January, 6, 2004. Probably about 300 people there. Even the news reporters were Johnny on the spot. Pictures at 5 and 11.

If you want to partake in the couloir before the rain comes, hurry hurry hurry.

Klenke, I'm wondering if anyone was doing an avy beacon safety check?! Hope so.

Matt - it could have been the cop they showed on the news chaining up at a gas station (in the U-dist) I think and apologizing to Andy Woppler for doubting the fcast. He looked sketched...

Well, the skiing was good in WSeattle too... Many climbs, some turns on steep hills and a bit of dodging outta control 4wd's
Nice snow before the rain, just as good as QueenAnne.
No partner, no avi beacon and no shovel taken.
TTT

I got in some tele-turns at Woodland Park (workin' on that left-hand turn!)

My destiny nearly collided with that of a 8 yo on a sled. Since I was bigger I had right of way, and since she was smaller she had cat-like reflexes. Earning a scowl from her mom, I quickly found a less populated area.

hey, Woodland Park was "in"!

Who was the person they showed on the news last night tele turning down queen anne? anyone know? it was funny to watch. skiers and snowmobilers sharing queen anne hill together, twas a site to see.

Who was the guy in the Seattle Times photo being pulled on skis behind an SUV, wearing only his boxer shorts?
