Michael JarrettAmazing day at #SummitAtSnoqualmie! Morning sun, fresh snow. Silver Fir the best it's been all season. And the East-Central crossover was OPEN!
Andy BrokawHit Hyak today. Snowline was about 2/3rds of the way up, so got a little wet. But the snow wasn't nearly as hard as I expected it to be (good job, groomers!) and the lack of crowds was fantastic. I'm hoping we get JUST enough Friday traffic for The Summit to keep us open Fridays next season. :)
I REALLY need to find my goggles, though. Snowflakes hitting your eyeballs at speed aren't pleasant and my glasses don't do well in perception.
First day skiing on my home mountain this season! They're running the lift I can see from my house on Fridays this year and I'm super happy about it! The snow was great and the crowd not nearly as bad as it will likely be tomorrow. :)
Lots of fresh snow for me.

Heard an avalanche. The first I've heard this season, although I'm sure there've been others.
And the interstate keeps fluctuating between open and closed due to collisions and spinouts. Be careful if driving up here!
I spent over an hour clearing my driveway of snow this morning, but last night's dump was a little too late for the Summit ski area to open this weekend. We're good to go Tuesday, though! (Passholders only. General Public on Wednesday.)
WA St Ski & Snowboard MuseumIt's National Gingerbread Day, USA!
We’re not sure why our nation celebrates gingerbread in summer, but here’s a flashback to staff member Bama Brokaw’s wintery recreation of the Summit at Snoqualmie in which she reproduced all four base areas and I-90!
Sadly, you cannot find this at the museum as it was perishable. If you're lucky, though, you may be able to find Bama here coordinating volunteers and being awesome!
It's so cold I don't want to sit in my normal coffee spot because the chill coming through the insulated curtains is too much.
There are more cars across the road for Hyak's opening day than I anticipated. I hope the people in them realize how low our predicted wind chills are (-20 something) and are dressed appropriately.
Wish I was skiing, but I'm not woman enough for this.
