Man Im glad I dont live in Portland anymore. It is snowing here and at least snow is fun to play in:)



Yep, I'm just reminding myself that rain in the city = snow in the mountains. Crystal opened today. :)


I think what you mean to say is rain in seattle = crud in the mountains;) At least they opened, that is more than they can say for most of last year.

Hey, it's not Montana, true, but in a decent year, we can have some pretty good snow. But yeah, I'm not getting anywhere near the slopes for a while... let them build a base and get more stuff open.

At least it's looking like it'll be a better season than last year.

I have some friends who live in Port Orchard, and this thread reminds me of what the phrase they used to summarize the weather after they'd been there for a couple years:

"Sometimes the fog clears up enough for us to see the rain"!

I'd last about three weeks in Seattle before you'd find me hanging from the rafters...I don't know how you can stand it! ;)

Ya at least you could go tomorrrow if you wanted to. The problem with this light fluffy stuff is it takes awile to build a base. I think its worth the wait though:)

They're going to take away my "real Seattleite" card. I'm considering using an umbrella to walk down the street to lunch in a few minutes. It's fucking POURING out there.

Seriously, it never really "rains" here. It drizzles. It showers. It spits. It mists. But this kind of monsoonal 40 days and 40 nights crap is starting to get to me.



And it's been blowing and snowing. The freezing level got down to 3000 last night, so there's a couple of feet in them thar passes, and Crystal Mountain opened today. Woo-hoo! Snoqualmie Nordic Center here I come!

It's a good thing I'm living on high ground here in suburban Vancouver (north Burnaby) as it's rained for at least the last ten straight days. I miss the sunshine of CO and I haven't been able to jump for two weeks now. [:/]


Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Yeah, I'm guessing the last time you jumped was when we ran into you at Pitt Meadows (did you see this pic, btw?). If I hadn't made it out to Richland last weekend I'd probably be going more nuts right now.

The slopes are getting dumped on. Snowboarding soon.

Goddamn, it's wet.

Move over to the east side and leave the rain over there!;) You know you are loved by all over here!!



Trust me, Jason, I'm considering that right now! If it's so nice out there, why are you posting instead of jumping?:P



I'll answer for him... we took the day off to play in the wind and low clouds ;)

I know next to nothing about boats. Is one of those an ark? ;)

(Not that I need one right now... it's actually DRY!)

Bumping because I need another one. We've had something like 3 inches of rain in the past 24 hours. :S

Current winds on top of Rattlesnake are 67 mph, with gusts to 95. The storm coming tonight is supposed to be worse.

Hey, at least the weather was okay for jumping Friday (and is looking good this weekend too)... ...best sunset I've seen in a long time, even though the clouds meant we only got 11k. Cold as hell on the hands, but nothing that a few beers at Fred's didn't fix :)
I never really minded the rain, until I got my license... ...now I kinda hate it - until there's a decent amount of snow on the hills that I don't have to take my rock board and body armor up to go snowboarding! At least this storm is a decent one. Screw the pansy ones that the media overblows.

Then again, they overblow everything.
