January 29, 2006, Blewett Pass

Mrs. Doober and I got another late start...noon with the skiis on and heading up toward Black Diamond looking for some low angle slopes. We managed to find some lovely turns in silky smooth powder, stable as could be (not much steeper than 25 degrees), in broken trees and glades...short but sweet runs. Thanks to the two other parties we ran into for breaking trail and pointing us in the right direction. We almost headed to Snoqualmie Pass for lift skiing...it's a good thing we didn't, as I heard it took over an hour to get from Alpental to the highway, which happened to be closed at the end of the day. I guess we won't be finding that kind of quality for a while now...
