Mission Ridge Opens Saturday December 6

This is a rather unusual winter.  Mission Ridge opens before Mt. Baker and gas is below $1.70 gallon. 

I can't help but take notice of the snow blower on the front page of their website.  What's funnier is what it says to the right of that pic.  "Powder to the People".    Is this the future of ski resorts???

check it out!

Think they've been following the Obama thread ?

It's been the reality of ski resorts on the other side of the country pretty much since snowmaking was invented. Unfortunately, our warmer climate makes it less useful here ... so the future is probably even grimmer for PNW ski resorts, unless we start stringing lifts to the top of Baker.

I hate to say it and I'll probably catch hell for it, but this state could use a few high elevation (7000'+) chairlifts.

Any reports from Mission today?
