Got up a little later than planned. Parking lot was largely unplowed when I got there with an easy 8 inches on the ground. Got on the lift at 10 and snow was mixing with sleet at this point. Only one trail conifer was open, but the place was slow, ski right on the lift. I skied for about an hour and then had to get back to work. Missed out on the pow, but trail was in good shape with lots of chopped dense pow and little pow bumps. Very nice for the first turns of the season.

I think this is going to give them an excellent base to open up most of the mountain if temps stay cold.

Post up a couple pics in a bit.

good work wa-loaf...

Hope the rain doesn't wash away too much of what they got, as you're right, it would make a really nice base for the rest of the mountain.

Yup. Pretty good. Ski big so they're not going to be used at WA much. I'll have the Progressors out tomorrow night.

ski report for wa powder day

Great day at Wa! Fresh powder and no lines. I should have brought the fatter Monsters. The IM 72's were ok, but not a powder ski. My fatter IM 77 would have been a bit better. I don't have a true powder ski (yet). They had conifer open followed by sundowner (bunny) by 11. I imagine they will have quite a bit more open by Saturday. I'm up at Wa about 6 days a week. If you see me say hi. Grey marker jacket, always have a pair of head monsters IM 72 0r IM 77'. Sorry I missed you WAloaf. I'm sure we skiied past one another. View attachment 3030

Did you have your suspenders hanging down behind you? I think I saw you. This was me:

No suspenders

No, I dont wear suspenders. I will be there tommorow as well. I'll be real easy to spot. I work there as a ranger Tuesday and thursday. I'll have on the orange Wa jackey with a flashing light on the front of my jacket and one on the back of my helmet. I am the only ranger that wears one on the back of my head. I hope to see you there.

Kinda looks like the Home Improvement character Al in this pic. Is there flannel under the jacket?
