Looks like a decent amount of snow up there after all Lou.
Hey Lou,
Hopefully you are being artistic and not having a stroke. Either way,pretty good.
Why the high pressure?
Sun is great but we need snow
Up at Alpental
Sounds like the NW is getting all of the snow.
Dav alludes to some new touring bindings in his latest post, the Tour 12. He says they are lighter than the Barons. Do you have any info on them?
in sleep I see snow
long drive to peaks I ski down
lost in heat of fall
first snow comes early
legs and lungs quickly stronger
mind still knows the turn
clear nights grow the hoar
beauty now danger soon
full moon alpenglow
warm ridge flows quickly
quiet snowfall heavy damp
patience no virtue
LOL Old Dude! And good seeing the poems, they’re truly great.
Caleb, keep the myth alive.

SB, not so good in a lot of the NW, Whistler and Baker have a base but further south is not so great. We had some nice skiing in Nov., now we are in a dry weather pattern. East of the crest here in central WA it seems stuck at the end of October for weather right now.
New skis two years now
Sit in the garage for months
Waiting for snow base
:ermm:
First annual WildSnow poetry slam? Where should we hold it?
Nuerons take flight on wings of time
prose becomes poetry in the grip of missing pieces
austerity of incomplete thoughts creates the beauty of less
unrequited love of cleverness embraces wisdom and things are
as they will be
Good snow by my house
But I’m not telling you where
Keep the stash for me
SNOW, YAHOO! SNOW, SNOW AND MORE SNOW!
Now that’s poetry.
