December 11, 2015 Stevens Pass was created by Zap
Jill and I enjoyed our first day of the season skiing at Stevens Pass. We had some free passes so it was perfect. We parked on the north side and walked across the icy bridge walkway – had forgotten about the ice. The front side lifts, except Kehr's, were operating. They opened 7th Heaven lift, but we gave that a pass. The snow quality was excellent and the groomers had sufficient coverage. There are still a few bicycle ramps visible on the mountain and there were a few crashes around them. The shallow lines off piste had coverage, but the steeper lines were hiding big, unfriendly stuff. We had a couple of hours of fun with our bodies reminding us that we're in our 70s.

Got there after rush hour. The cloud cap had settled in on 7th, like white out, so I also passed. An early bird said "it was deep for two runs". Bad vis on Sky in the upper bowl chased me to Hogs where Blue Trail had some nice softish bumps. Tye trees in the Crest Trail, Roller Coaster area were nice crud bumps. Coverage was actually pretty good, Did not hit a rock all day. Last steep face under Sky skied well. No lines. Brought my own soup.

......  Brought my own soup.

I know folks at Crystal that bring their own things and get free hot water to mix it with....I seem to remember that Stevens (like up at Whistler for sure) allows access to a microwave nuking machine...that would be good if I had a can (or box) of decent soup...Glad Stevens is open and everyone up north is having fun...maybe that's why Crystal was so empty today - praise the lord for small blessings....Have fun...Eat soup (its good for you - mostly).
