JasonG Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 No sun on the pow, so I didn't take pics (I'm a light snob at this point), but I did take this up on the ridge Sunday: 1 Quote
Alisse Posted December 6, 2022 Author Posted December 6, 2022 Did those axes come out, @JasonG? Quote

JasonG Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 It's true. We had a fun and far-ranging discussion, including a few financial topics. He even brought some civilized treats to accompany our sampling of the upper snowpack. It was my kind of academia! Quote
Kameron Posted December 22, 2022 Posted December 22, 2022 Ran into JasonG in the parking lot on Monday. Really nice snow that day! I gave my new skis a slight stone grind too. The town trails have been enjoyable since then. 1 Quote
JasonG Posted December 22, 2022 Posted December 22, 2022 Yes, good running into you as well @Kameron! And wow, was that snow ever great! Quote

Kameron Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 Pretty sick out there yesterday. From NWAC, I take it you were the one who warned us about the slab @dberdinka? Quote

kmfoerster Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) First time back to the Snoqualmie environs since 2019. It was a Snoquality day. Great snow on all but direct S. aspects, which were about of 10" of powder on a stout crust. Edited January 23, 2023 by kmfoerster 2 Quote

And why hadn't you been to Snoqualmonix in so long? Quote
Alisse Posted January 23, 2023 Author Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Cassidy, @aaronohn, and I spent Saturday night at the Mountaineers Lodge. We skiied Saturday in very windy, low vis conditions, looking for the best snow and vis -- Swift Creek delivered OK but was somehow even more uninspiring than usual, TONS of people. Our last lap was a little farther down the ridge and no one else was there or had been there - way better! Wish we'd gone there first... We also enjoyed stomping all the wind lips and baby cornices we could find along the way around Austin Pass! Sorry for weird and inconsistent white balance/colors in these. I still haven't figured out how to best deal with low light and snow colors within the Google Photos editing options... (open to all advice there): Played the GAME OF EARTH Saturday night -- HIGHLY recommend. Created by an earth sciences teacher in the late 90s! Sunday, I sat in the lodge feeling a bit sorry for myself with a swollen foot thing while Aaron and Cassidy skiied the Stoneman couloir! Edited January 23, 2023 by Alisse 1 Quote

That release was on a south facing 45-50 degree slope, maybe 6” deep down to the sun crust. I’ve mostly been skiing around Stevens, Cle valley and Baker with my usual supects in recent years. I do really like Snoqualmie though. When its good its really good. I just feel like the elevation causes it to run just warm enough. Less likely for me to catch a good window on a weekend 1 Quote

There's a lot of fun and accessible terrain from the car. I also really like skiing around Stevens as I've explored a bit more, but I do not go there on weekends! Quote
kmfoerster Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 I mean, they are both stupid on the weekends. Atleast less or no other people in whatever zone you going into around Stevens... but the traffic going west on hwy 2. Quote
