Slot skied well, with some 10-15cm soft slabs to manage. Skinned out of Thunder Creek and back up to the summit of Snoqualmie. Skied the upper third of the Crooked (slabbing in the entrance) and skinned back out and up to the East Peak. Skied good snow down into Commonwealth. A great day--almost winter-like!
Nice... weather pattern looks like it'll be staying good and wintry, too, with the large scale pattern switching to Northerly flow early next week ( http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~ovens/loops/wxloop.cgi?mm5d1_x_slp+///3 ). Looks like good possibility for snow in the middle of next week, as well ( http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~ovens/loops/wxloop.cgi?mm5d2_x_snow24+///3 ). Nice to have a return to conditions conducive to good touring options within a shorter drive from SEA.
