Boxing Day December 26, 2018 was an awesome sleeper country club day!!! Fresh refills all day long. 6-16" ski penetration in shot 6 and rocks off. Nice 1-3" fluff inbounds. Lines were non existent. Graceful skiing was observed.

No shock about the dog park TH. Yet a few miles away I ran into just one other party out of another TH, and with some excellent snow - way more than us few could use! Though below 3500 or so brushy areas are still exacting a bit of an early season approach tax.

Wonderful, beautiful views Glacier Peak to Rainier and all the local landmarks.Â Quite empty early; Chair 2 lines grew 11-1230 or so and then shrank. I had the entertainment of a ~ 40 foot vert fall on Nash lower entry perhaps related to dodging rocks...OK got that out of my system for the year! Powder Bowl and Gunmount held great preserved powder.Â

glad yer ok dk

today was pretty much a repeat of yesterday but more terrain was open and a crowd never materialized. more cloud cover so not as big of views, nash entrance in pretty good shape all things considered. happy new year

Armstrong lighted at the club on Tuesday evenings? Follow up: yup. Odd 20% ice/60% packed pow/20% blown in heavy pow. Snowpack notably shrunk from 12/31.

It's been nice having everything from Ingrid's to No Fog in play - helped spread out the holiday crowds but did little to keep the ski skoolers at bay. Should be back to country club conditions for the next few days
