Will T and I ventured into the wilds of Snoqualmie Pass this morning. Lots of wondrous snow. So much, in fact, that we were late for work simply because we couldn't travel through the snow quickly enough. Soft snow, with layered structure, about a ski pole deep to the crust. The internal layering's making things far more slabby than Saturday/Sunday. We heard/felt settlement on the short slopes and protected areas we traveled (primarily W facing in the Margaret clearcut above ~4800 ft). No pits dug, just lots of caution.
Snow/rain line at exit 47 at 10 am. Everything that fell on us while skiing was crystalline, though Nature did her best to fully explore the parameter space of crystalline precipitation.
Skiing would've been spectacular on steeper slopes, if not for the blatant avy danger.
Back to work!

Did you skin from Gold Creek Snow Park?

I always park at the snowmobile end of the Sno-Park - it minimizes the length of the flat skin in/out. (Be careful not to park in a fashion that blocks a snowmobiler's loading/unloading zone, if Margaret draws you near.)
