Alpental wxw

Five top-to-bottoms later we had to go - was surprised to see Snake Dance was still closed on our last lap around 1130.

It must have opened right after that. I left at noon and got a run down it.

everything open wall to wall, hence wxw.

wxw for real these days. Morning was nice with high clouds and good vis. Afternoon brought wet snow and the traditional mid-mountain fog band. Missed out on powder hour this morning but got a buddy linking turns on a single plank at the bottom. I'm pretty sure once he gets that thing in powder he'll be a knuckledragger for life. Oh and the handful of laps out the upper gate and a few more down low before a sunset departure didn't suck either! 35F & snowing in lot 4 when we left...

Well...fa and pd?   ???  Wheres all the big boarder reports from the last few awesome days?  Based on telemetry and cams at X-tal, might of wished I had gone....how's the Alpy backcountry? ...sorry since you poked at me...just wondering?...maybe at least the parking lot dog S report? or the party soup? ...I'll apologize right now! for what ever the response is!

ps...heard all those litlle smiley symbols are really big with all you young folks..hope I did okay?...Heard others say it was old school...not according to Websters. Big texting verbage...better than wordy notes...like this one... Only need another 300 or so reads to make 2k on this thread...thats gotta be big!

16BBI was an over the top success.
The Cascade Mutherfucker was the perfect drink to occupy Lot4.
conditions were spectacular throughout the event and everyone got a taste of the goods life on both sides of the rope.
17BBI is just 358 days away.

FA rides the padded seats no matter the weather, and we've had fewer washings of them this season than any in recent memory.

I decided to break-even on my pass to Stevens on Sunday... although I'm not sure 3 hours of smashing taters counts as a full day. I heard Xtal benefitted from the classic Rainier suckerhole today - but turning in the rain "builds one's character", as my high school teachers would say.

16BBI was an overwhelming success, only would've been better had you graced us with your presence, ddk

There's always next year, eh?
