telemarker Posted November 4, 2002 Posted November 4, 2002 Just wonder if I'm the only one with the news: Forecast looks like no snow till after Christmas, at least enough to rip on. That means I'll be climbing in Leavenworth till January, which is good. The winters in WA the last couple years has made me a cynic. Not that they've been bad, but they've been so erratic and unpredictable. I think I'll sell by damn boards and move to Phoenix. Quote

telemarker Posted November 4, 2002 Author Posted November 4, 2002 Bro, Â They're a couple of wet noodle, fatty mtn. surfs. Not worth much, since I drilled t-nuts all the way through to stop ripping my binders out. I haven't tore them out since, though I've gone through a couple pair of superloops since then. If I'm not getting face shots by January, I'm burning the surfs. Quote
salbrecher Posted November 5, 2002 Posted November 5, 2002 Snows comin this week!! I'm going skiing this weekend. Whistlers predicting 15+cm per day from mid week on!! Bwahahahah Quote

Either that or be willing to drive over here to ski. You all in the Wenatchee area must be more in the rain shadow, as we've been skiing mostly powder on winter weekends the last 2 years. My wide boards have many more miles on them than my narrower or even my "all mountain" boards. Yeah, you have to be ready to follow the local little snow dumps--sometimes Lookout Pass area gets it more, other times Schweitzer or 49 DN or Mt. Spokane or Whitewater or Sherman Pass, etc., and last year was much better than the previous, but no complaints at all from the Spokane-CDA area. Â --pindude Quote
telemarker Posted November 5, 2002 Author Posted November 5, 2002 last year was much better than the previous, but no complaints at all from the Spokane-CDA area. Â I'll agree last year was fine. Just fine. I want a freaking bounty of powder, though. In the b/c I can usually find the stashes, I haven't bought a lift ticket in 3 years. And last year had its moments, but I want it like it was in our nuclear winter was it 4 years ago??? This is Washington, it's supposed to rain every day in Seattle, and snow in der mountains. That's the rule, but lately it's been the exception. And what pisses me off even more is to hear the weather forecasters in Seattle so giddy at all the sun we've been having. Gawd, get a life, we need moisture!!! Quote
Ade Posted November 5, 2002 Posted November 5, 2002 And you actually believe the forecast?! Like they can get it right for Sunday on Thursday and you're taking their no snow for two months at face value. Â Lighten up... I say "no snow until New Year" is pretty much a guarentee we'll be buried in the stuff by Thanksgiving. Quote
skykilo Posted November 5, 2002 Posted November 5, 2002 The forecast looks like precip off and on the rest of the week. That's gonna be snow if you get high enough. And it's always good to get real high... Quote
Billygoat Posted November 5, 2002 Posted November 5, 2002 Dude Mann, Telemarker, all we need is a few inches here on the west side to fill in the sun -cups and we're turnin'. Lets's hook up and go! PM me. Plus, get rid of those Mtn. Surfs and super-poops. Tua cross-rides or Megas with cobras or hotwires will keep you happy. Quote
iain Posted November 5, 2002 Posted November 5, 2002 ATOMIC R:EX 184's on the way, better see some snow soon Quote
pete_a Posted November 5, 2002 Posted November 5, 2002 Anyone going to be at muir on saturday??? haha actually the muir snowfield could be in shape this weekend if enough snow falls at the end of the week. If anyone wants to meet up, let me know. Quote

Bwahahahah No, MA, whistler does not open till end of november but they have a kick ass website that says snowpack, winds, and good forcasts for the area. Quote
skykilo Posted November 5, 2002 Posted November 5, 2002 I'm going skiing this weekend for sure. I hope the weather is terrible. I want to be wet and miserable, so long as I get to turn in some fresh snow. I've been skiing glacier ice for too long. Quote
