ski_photomatt Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Well, I've been wanting to ski this one for a while but haven't for whatever reason (other plans, weather/snowpack uncooperative). Weather and snow Saturday were perfect. We got a little lost and cliffed out ascending from Alpental but eventually made it to the notch giving access to the basin north of Snoqualmie. Booted up the couloir, relaxed on top and skied down. Snow conditions ranged from knee to thigh deep postholing in still unconsolidated powder to relatively hard snow (wind slab that loose snow had sluffed off?) requiring a decent kick to make steps. The basin below the north side of Snoqualmie holds excellent north facing yo-yo skiing well after a storm too bad it's such a bitch to get to Descent to Alpental was thick sludge in the evening sun.
