    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 [...]

    Spring? Nah man, Winter.

    Technically we’ve surpassed the official Winter season and have entered into Spring. Usually by late March we get hit with some epic warm sunny days perfect for slushy park sessions. Pretty much all last week it dumped up in the mountains–cold and snowy. It even dumped on Capitol Hill on Tuesday night (hipsters be trippin!). [...]
