Last night I drove over Stevens Pass with no new snow and then saw that 17 inches was recorded at Blewitt Pass. Not really believing it, I drove over late in the day, and saw a couple of inches at 3,000' so I went to the summit and had a nice afternoon of playing in 12-15" of very nice new snow. I went up to a 4,600' point, and actually got some turns in here and there. Great conditions for just touring with skins on. One more dump like that and it will be on!
Avajane's got it right except for his spelling of Blewett. Been up the last couple of days in the Tronsen non-motorized zone just N of Blewett(!)Pass. There's an honest foot of new from last weekend on a shallow base. Skied mostly roads and trails but careful turns are available on the old clear-cuts. Nice views of the Stuarts today on the way out.
