April 11, 2008, Alpental Mankfest

Groomers on chair 1 were extremely fun today...though wax mattered since some people complained of stickiness. Chair 2 was a mankfest. The upper half of upper international was excluded from mankiness though...but it was not worth the effort of the rest of it. Didn't see anyone linking turns..."16 inches of mank and what do you get?" Nice big slide in edelweiss bowl. Avy debris is harder to ski than mank IMHO. Yeah didn't really need ride chair 2 at all today except to check if I-90 was open yet...closed westbound for 3 hours to do avy control.

But it was sunny. Yeah. Can't imagine there is anywhere safe and/or worthwhile to go in the snoqualmie BC tomorrow.
