AlpineK Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Jeff H, Cman and I skied up on Nason Ridge today. We had a hard time breaking trail through the snow. Sking down you could make a turn when it was steep, but a lot of time even skiing 11s got you stopped with a huge pile of snow in front of you.

TrogdortheBurninator Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Alpental was awesome. I90 closure must have detered a lot of folks. Snow conditions were as good as I ever remember up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlpineK Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Lots of people ski up to Arrowhead thus traibreaking isn't ever so bad. Very few folks ski where we were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Baker was amazing today. 14" in the last 24 hours, blowaway snow. Â Â Guess I won't be doing any work on my Nason property for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Skiied off HWY2 Saturday also. With only 2 of us, couldn't really break trail it was so deep. Above treeline, was much more manageable, but windslab on sun crust and poor vis kept us getting after anything too ambitious. Â On a related note, had literally 2 feet of snow in 11worth overnight. Took 35 minutes to dig out my truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â thats not "too deep", thats just snow that is too wet and heavy! Â the Baker ski area is now reporting almost 300" for the month of Jan alone!!

still_climbin Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I agree, Mission was awesome Sunday, especially after the blizzard hit and we had the mountain to ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
