Dropped off loved ones at Seatac and immediately proceeded to alpy for the first time in 2+ years. paid the ridiculous $50 (half day w/o night skiing @ west). for 3 hours of riding. very few people on lifts; few cars at lot 4. decent snow up high. still bony entrance to international. good turns up high; cliffy, creeky, treetop pruning turns down low, but still ridable. proceed with caution through the cliffs... they are not prime yet.
