Skiing is 10x better than the best day wheeling. At least.

Wheeling is also awesome, but pales in comparision to a good day on the snow.

psst, this is a wheeling board... I don't want my ski poles wrapped around my head next time i run into one of those buggy guys...:redneck:

Painful to read this thread. No money = no fun in the powder and sun. make some good deep turns for this guy.

Every one should make it to the snow

I have a couple of $10 lift tickets left to stevens if you want them

I got some vids up on youtube from Spring Break up at Crystal.

These are not Warren Miller style stuff, this is family skiing and fun.

I took these to show to family, none of whom have seen the kids ski and some haven't seen the kids at all for over 5 years.

Jackson just turned 8 a couple of weeks before we shot this and the girls are both 9.

Of course I was taking all the video so I wasn't in any. I had my wife take video of one run, and of course, she missed me

Of all the video, only ONE came out with me and that was so so.

It's a little harder to take video than I thought.

And you thought the ski season was over.... Went for a little wheelin session behind Hyak @ Snoqualmie pass, found some snow at the end of the road. Came back with some boards the next weekend and found a skiable line 90% of the way down from the summit of Silver Peak [1400ft vertical skiable]. Ran a few laps on that, called it a day.... i love summer skiing....

el nino this winter , no bueno.

It's debuting soon from the looks of it. Warren's a nice fellow, a neighbor of a friend of mine.

We may head up for the opening on Wednesday if Crystal does get enough slow.

Yep and heading to our chalet again tonight and we should be skiing Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week.

Conditions really are pretty decent right now. not much power but we've been fortunate to not get any rain so conditions haven't been very icy.

We've not been much off the groomers so far as we're waiting for fresh snow so just taking it easy. Kid's are taking snow board lessons this week.

three days two nights at mt. baker... sunshine and pow! :kissmyass:

promise we'll start a new ski thread next year.

So I thought the line at High Campbell was bad last Saturday... With 4' of fresh snow and Snoqualmie closed, take a look at this shot from a buddy who was just getting on the lift on the Northway Chair.

We always ski during the week so this was ridiculous!
