Little 'ole snoqualmie needs some April love especially given an eye on the deluge of wetness that will soon descend. The last couple days conditions (cold temps and 17" of new) required reverence and attention--so reverence and attention we gladly paid!  Went both days April 2nd & 3rd.
At least a handful of other folks seemed to be on the same page...get it while it's good.
The slot was in dreamy condition this morning, so much so that a few turns in I asked myself why stop? so I didn't and skied the whole thing in one fell swoop. Recommended. Though it is a nice place to linger too...

Saw nothing moving both days (except us and the occasional sluff). We never got above 5K on the first day (April 2nd), lots of goodness in the trees and glades.










Yeah it's gooooooood!
Dawn patrollers might avoid the rain tomorrow

But they won't avoid the warmup of today. Expect partially-refrozen mank below 4k and variable conditions above. There's still powder above 5k, though...
