Blewett Pass is “In”

Avajane, love to ski with you and do some of the trail breaking. Give me a call at 206 nine nine two 6782. Thanks, Skip 

Blewett indeed was in on Sunday. It was also the most reactive storm snow I've ever seen! Nearly every little roll near 30 degrees was sliding on a weak layer of facets about 16 inches down. I never have triggered so many D1-1.5s in my life! But the snow depth is looking great and we didn't hit a single rock. It's looking good!

Was waiting for a Blewett report.  good for you and the knee.    Getting consult on my replacement

this week

Love to find new partners Skip. I heard about all that reactive snow up there. I read the NW observations. Absolutely nothing moving at 4600’ where I was easing back into untracked snow. Funny I was warning the groups going up about coverage in the Talus, but now we know that wasn’t the issue.

i went to Mystery Ridge (a few miles north of Blewett Pass) for a couple hours this afternoon and there was a thin crust under 1” new. This sat on 12-16” of medium density snow with a thick ice crust below. Below that was another foot with a few inches of mush at the ground. This was from 2500’ to 3400’. Skiing was bad, but not atrocious.. My thought is with a good track partway up someone could get to 5200’ and find good snow…they could also find bad Avy conditions. (There are routes less than 30 degrees down…Then a real warm up comes followed by more snow so who knows what the weekend might bring.
