March 8, Mission Ridge

With rain at Snoqualmie Pass and a severe lack of touring motivation, my wife and I took our first trip to Mission Ridge. Fun little area. Beautiful sunshine and views, and great soft snow, powder and corn all around the mountain.

There are lots of fun little shots there, but they were short without local knowledge to tie things together. I was amazed how good the snow was in the trees and on higher N facing stuff. Definitely somewhere we'd return when the conditions were right.

Saturday was an exceptional day, usually not that good. And your right about the short lines, no sustained fall line skiing like Steven's, Alpental or Crystal. It's a very long drive for west side folks too.

So what you're saying is come one come all ...
