Alpental 04.09.10
Damn sick day today. Grapple snow made for some crazy fast snow. Top to bottom good snow. Line got outta control after about 3 top chair runs. 5 runs in 2.5 hours. Had top chair opened right off the bat. Elevator opened pretty quick too. One of the better days this year. Tomorrow will be [...]
Alpental 04.06.10
Got to skip the morning work day for some sick Alpental action. Pretty fun. No lines, no Alpentalics. All stoke. Snow a bit heavy towards bottom–standard NW conditions. Sick-as-isht at top. Here’s a few snaps and a vid of Clem dropping the “no-jumping” drop far right Edlewiess. Yay Winter!
All Time NW Weekend
Whoa. 30 ft swell/40mph winds turning into 6 foot and glassy, 20ft drops into 2 feet of pow with no lines, 1 pound of Easter ham inducing a 2 hour nap, and wrapping it up with 30 minutes of Surfer Blood. All time NW weekend for sure. Here’s a few pics and vids of the [...]

Alpental, Tuesday March 10, 2009
Lucky. Got the a.m. off again. This time there was even more snow that last Friday and it was way colder. Lines weren’t as bad as last Friday but it was pretty busy. Here’s a few pics: LINK Here’s a Vholdr shot of Davey Jones (watch the volume!):
Alpental, Friday March 6, 2009
The bossman gave me the go-ahead to come in a few hours late on Friday. Alpental had gotten knee deep snow the night before and it was slated to be sunny. Perfect! I met a few friends up there that morning who were also calling in sic, skipping, or coming in late to work. The [...]Snoqualmie Pass MDP Approval
Snoqualmie Pass has been working for at least 10 years to get their Master Development Plan (MDP) approved through the USFS. Last Friday (11/21/08) they finally got the thumbs up. Now that the administrative hurdle has been there’s just one more. I can’t imagine Snoqualmie Pass isn’t completely insulated from current economic woes. Hopefully we [...]2008 Memorial Day Weekend Surf
The Washington coast is rad. We pretty much always have swell. Even when Cali is dead flat all summer there will be size up here. Usually… Last Memorial Day weekend i headed out to the coast to meet up with these dudes. We bumped into a few of the guys at spot #1 and the [...]
