sibhusky Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Had a migraine today, didn't stay long as the clowns were still here and two of them almost nailed me because conditions were tough. Deep snow with a skin of ice on top on some exposures. Anyway, down on Hibernation: Quote

sibhusky Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Had another migraine yesterday, so bad my husband had to come fetch me, couldn't even talk to people after I came in from skiing to the locker room. Nevertheless, somehow remembered to take ONE picture. Quote
sibhusky Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 From today. Fewer people, odd conditions. Yesterday we had HIGH HIGH winds and odd textured snow. Today, some areas were wind packed, others were scoured and parts of the back were excellent. But we started getting a lot of graupel as the day went on, which was I guess super dry as it felt sort of like sand on the hill. Moved lower and things were fine, but not the most exciting stuff. On Heaven in AM, looks nice, but was quite deceiving. Nice powder covering wind-scoured hard pack. No action here, but it was a beautiful view. 3 Quote

Johnny Law Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 Nice ! The sections at 20 and 145ish look really fun. 1 Quote
sibhusky Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 20-ish is over on East Rim. Not sure about 145-ish as you can SEE East Rim. Maybe that's off the cliff on Haskill Slide. Quote
sibhusky Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 It was foggy but dumping all day long. For locals, that means you ski in the trees. JD enjoying the powder on Elephant's Graveyard: Looking back up at Black Bear Trees, my first excursion to this area: 1 Quote
AngryHugo Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 great pics as always, Sib. very envious of your conditions. Quote
sibhusky Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Should have been a banner day!!! 22 inches in the last 24 hours, 17 last night. BUT, the entire valley was here. I've never seen lines so long. People were lining up 1.5 hours before the main lift opened and then it opened a half hour late due to blasting or something. People were backed up the hill waiting to ride that lift. I'm sure all the churches were empty!!! I rode Chair 2 a few times, hoping Chair One would get down to 20 minutes in the singles line, but finally headed over to Chair Four and rode that. That's not so bad, there's a ton of steep trees on either side of it and there was no one riding it. However, Siblet had car trouble and had to get to her coaching job and my husband and I needed to deal with getting her car moved before it got towed to the impound lot because she had to abandon it and get a ride from someone else. At least I got seven runs in. All pictures taken from Friends of Langley, Langley, and Powder Trap. DEEP soft snow, wonderful stuff. Edited February 26, 2012 by sibhusky Quote

Mixilplix Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Soooooo looking forward to getting out to MT at the end of March Quote
phillycore Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Holy freaking liftline..... is that Blue Mountain, jeebus.... only difference is that it's actually worth the wait.... Quote
sibhusky Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Holy freaking liftline..... is that Blue Mountain, jeebus.... only difference is that it's actually worth the wait.... Most of my friends (the "regulars") told me they also never even attempted to ski on that chair, most left mid day. We're just spoiled as hell. I went to Costco later with my husband - EMPTY. I know where they all were. Quote
sibhusky Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Today, the snow was still deep, but somewhat heavier than yesterday, came home totally wiped out. Gray's Golf Course: Elephant's Graveyard: Quote
sibhusky Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Still some super soft snow on east and north-facing slopes: Quote
AtomicSkier Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 I still don't get the capes...isn't that what insulated/waterproof pants are for? 1 Quote
toast21602 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 this morning at Blue. very few people. perfectly soft snow. i don't know why more people don't come out the day after rain. it was great! Quote
Johnny Law Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 I still don't get the capes...isn't that what insulated/waterproof pants are for? If you sit alot, like during camping I could see a need because even a 20/20 pant will get wet but skiing your mostly standing.... Quote
Dan- Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 If you sit alot, like during camping I could see a need because even a 20/20 pant will get wet but skiing your mostly standing.... If it's dumping and your sitting in snow every lift ride it'll soak through. 1 Quote
Timeless Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 I sort of like the feeling of a wet butt. i cant believe you actually posted that, here of all places. Quote
sibhusky Posted March 2, 2012 Report Posted March 2, 2012 If it's dumping and your sitting in snow every lift ride it'll soak through. Exactly. It also insulates, so if it's howling winds and below zero it helps as well. Personally, if it's snowing, I have TWO pair of "waterproof" pants on PLUS the butt flap. I don't want to go in because I'm wet, I want to ski. I'm way past worrying about looking good. Quote
sibhusky Posted March 2, 2012 Report Posted March 2, 2012 DUMPING all day, six inches by the 10 AM report and it just kept on coming. Knee deep in some areas in the PM. Definitely MY best day of the year. Schmidt's Chute: In Whitey's, below the Nose: Quote
