PNW not so hot, but ‘Stoke looks good
The Pacific Northwest is definitely a feast or famine area for snow. One season it sets a world record for recorded snowfall (Baker with something like 1,250″) and the next… nothing. Right now it is unfortunately in a solid nothing cycle, so I’m going to pass on the logging and head back to the Wasatch. After graduating from High School, I took two years off to ski. While the first one was a blast, I have dreary memories of sitting in a lodge in the middle of February watching solid sheets of rain come down and wipe out the 3″ base during the second season. This was a mixed blessing as college started to make a lot more sense right about then
One place that never seems to lack snow is Roger’s Pass and the Revelstoke area. Greg Hill (the man with a million feet) has been putting together videos for the last two years and has his first one up. CAUTION TO SNOW STARVED SKIERS: This video contains gleeful cackling over the great depths of snow, and to make things worse, the skiing took place a few weeks ago. It is even better now. Greg’s blog link is off to the right-hand side under “Ski Mountaineering.”
Thanks Greg!
