OSP-WA.Nina - TR:4 Summit At Snoqualmie Powder Morning

AM session was the hit. Got first chair on the 360. No times for buddies as the mad slasher took control. Lapped first lines under 60 chair line, then Freefall. Snow was variable. Some places knee deeps, some places just a foot or so. Still very bumpy. I got it in my face.

place: Stampede Pass, WA
people: Peter, Swappy, Matt, Christian and Jonny

We headed up to Stampede Pass Saturday for some good weather riding, but to our surprise, Friday's sunny day created a 1" crust layer on top of the fresh snow. this made for some tricky board riding and really wasn't all that awesome to make turns in. so the day ended up in a real mellow sessions. We practiced building a jump, it came out real nice, but hitting it while navigating the crust layer was pretty tough. so, keep it mellow we did.. all in all it was fun like any other day in the hills. good times, good laughs, good bro's..

This day also marked Peter & Christians 1st day out on there new to them sleds and i'm pretty sure there 1st time EVER riding sleds. (welcome to the addiciton!) It was entertaining to watch them try to figure these machines out. there 900cc machines are beasts! and once they figure those things out there isn't many hills these things wont concur.. while Matt, Swappy and I built a jump and had a crusty board session these 2 were just braaaping all over this hill the whole time, learning the sleds and getting some bruises along the way.. i bet they were soar the next day :)

Conditions:
25 to 29 degrees
2+feet of fresh with a 1" crust layer is my guess (we're still trying to get a base over here) so lots of trees and stumps to watch out for still.
partly sunny skies

Stevens Pass Opens. the BOYCOTT is lifted.. for some :)

Matt G reporting:
Stevens Pass opener was good even with the lack of chairs open.
They started loading around 8:45 and we rode until 11:45, shared the pow and headed in for some refreshments.
After that is was park pass/ride the park for the rest of the day.
