    Passport to Shredville

    I finally got my Ski Acres (aka Central) Park Pass! I think it’s a great idea that they require a special class/pass to ride the park. Hopefully they see a decline in injuries as a result. The class showed a little video about ATM…some weird acronym about common sense. Then the park kids gave a [...]

    1st Pipe in Washington?

    UPDATE:  01.14.1008 2:00pm Just talked to a reliable source.  Said that the reason there is no pipe right now at Snoqualmie is because the Water Utility Company for Snoqualmie Pass jacked up the price of water 10 times what they were paying last year.  When you consider that it takes something like 200,000 gallons (?)

    Board Review

    Snowboards have not changed too much in the last 10 years. So I’m curious to what people are riding in the northwest these Days. 2005 160 Lib Mullet (black base/no Magna) no need. This board is the best powder board ever hands down. Floats through the cream with no back leg burn. Some friends just [...]

    Chair 2

    Alpental has been getting rocked the last few weeks. I’ve ridden there the last 4 days…it’s been so good. If you’ve been up there, you know. I love that Alpental is such a short drive. The only problem is proximity to the city means big lift lines. The Chair 2 line the last few days [...]

    Alpental is sic!

    I’ve been hitting Alpental the last few days and it’s been so sic. They’ve been getting rocked for the last 3 weeks from this storm cycle and luckily it’s been staying cold. The snow’s been pretty damn light for the NW and coming down non-stop. It’s been a free-for-all. Almost no consequences…the snow is so [...]

    Alpental Opening Day 2007-2008

    Holy crap there’s a lot of snow at Alpental. There’s also a lot of holes, creeks, bumps, woop sections and worst of all, flatness. There’s some sections of bottom chair Alpy that are brutally flat with thigh deep snow–and i hit all of them. We had to bail before top chair ever opened. The bottom [...]

    Baker was sic this weekend. Drove up early Saturday morning with Otter/Petersen to 10″ of new. Crowds were minimal but rocks and stumps were abundant.
