The 18inches of snowpack was on top of nothing and 3% moisture content to boot. Snoqualmie's gunna need a ton more. Don't even think about it. I went through a stick of p-tex repairing the damage.

We went sledding at Snoq. West on the 14th...it was good for sledding, but while boot packing I was thinking how I was punching all the way to the ground. Yeah, they need a bit more, nice pics though Jayme!

My rule of thumb for outside of the closed ski areas at Snoq has become about 50inches. Maybe others venture out earlier. I had some fun runs down the Silver Fir Area this weekend but you had to pick your lines carefully, ski lightly, and I used rock skis. Of course I have rock skis from taking similar trips to what you just described.

I didn't recognize Lundin from that angle. I only skied it once, and I haven't done the ones on the backside. It was pretty straight forward. The run kind of flattened out in some benches earlier than I thought it would and there was a drainage trap but it was obvious. It was fun, there was more snow then.

From your pictures it looks like you are standing on cave ridge - did you do a big loop?
