Snowqualmie Gold

Today with winter storm warning we woke up and hit first chair up at the pass.  I thought it was totally worth it for first chair, skiing untracked is my nirvana on earth.  Granted, I'm SO spoiled after living in Alberta, I forget how wet it is here in the Pacific NW.  I keep telling Mark if you can ski this snow snow successfully you can ski anywhere...

It's way good!

The only bummer is that when it snows on I-90, I mean really snow, the car drivers don't follow the rules and drive up without chains, spin out and then the pass gets closed.  Which is exactly what happened
