Snoqualmie

I have a low bar. Any day on snow is better then any day not on snow. But it was bad.  Hideous breakable crust left us seeking out the refrozen tree trip. At least it was predictable.  Truth be told there were a few good (3/10) turns up high - solid enough crust that it "wasn't horrible" - the remainder was survival skiing.  But we were the only people stupid enough to be up there on a day when Chair 2 at Alpental was closed due to poor and icy conditions.  Solitude FTW!!!  The weather was reasonable, the views were as good as ever, and the base is deep for December!!!!  Happy holidays one and all :-)
