FEB/ 19. I have lost most of my skier friends to father time...

1-12-19.
Be it old age, injury or they don't like me, I can't get a posse to gather very easily these days. Hershel Parnes is the most willing but often away and busy, Silk and Dayton are gone.  Barnes injured, Fiorini is here and there, Sabella no where to be seen, and on and on.  I try and get one together, but it's not easy.  Using MEET Up to get something going but haven't found what I'm looking for.  What comes next is the question.

Not that today, the 14th is the first day Sno pass has been open in 3 days!  I'm trying to get to Alpental with Stan Holmes.  We 'll see if it happens.  They haven't been open since maybe Saturday.  It's wednesday...

FEBRUARY 2019 GOES OFF!

Seattle covered in 20", most since 1920 something.  Snowed for 6 days.  I had to buy Blizzaks for my 2017 Lexus RX.  Crystal chairs not working properly. Snoqualimie Pass closed all day today, the 12th of Feb.  Here is the scoop from Crystal.  I went to Park City with Jeff Martin and Jack Clennon last week and we got 50".  Mammoth has received over 12 ' this month.  2019 is starting out in Epic fashion.  I've had 8 days by today. Trying to go tomorrow, the 13th of Feb.
UPDATE 12:45 PM: Rainier Express, Green Valley & Gondola are now open. Thanks for your patience. Chair 6 & Northway will remain closed due to high avalanche danger. THANK YOU SKI PATROL!!!
UPDATE 11:04 AM: Parking lots are full. All upper lifts remain closed at this time for avalanche control. Chair 6 & Northway will not open today. We appreciate your patience as we continue to dig out from this massive storm. Please stay tuned to Mountain Report on our website for updates...
