Well, so much for El Nino supposedly meaning a lack of snowfall and an unusually dry winter for the Pacific Northwest. Aside from the fact that there has been record flooding in this area over the past week, but Crystal Mountain has gotten over a foot of snow already and is expected to receive quite a dumping throughout the weekend.
Now if only the places I actually like to go snowboarding at would open, then we'd be in business. Nevertheless, it looks like our tradition of going snowboarding on Thanksgiving will be in tact. Hopefully.

Thanks for the link. I like Stevens a lot and Alpental. Just never had a good day at Crystal and never been there when High Campbell was open. I'll try again one day when it's good. I will say that Crystal really ticked me off last year though with their early opening. Can't tell you how many rocks I hit and tree stumps right in the trail. They tend to rush to open too soon, from what I can tell in the 4 years of riding out here.
Either way, I'm stoked about the upcoming season.
Definitely! I'm just going to get the weekday pass to Snoqualmie/Alpental this year and hopefully do a few weekend trips to Crystal/Stevens/Baker with my wife.
I usually like to go up at least once a week during the week. I don't know the Alpental backcountry but I do like boarding there.
