It is wonderful most places in North America have had excellent early-season skiing. Here in the PNW, we’ve not had it as good as some of you. Still, over the past few weeks we’ve managed to find a few powdery spots. Here’s the photos, just to show we’ve still got it.
Finding nice pow in the North Cascades. Click images to enlarge.
Enjoying unseasonable sunshine with Mt. Baker behind.
Pretty mountains.
Friends, solitude, and fresh snow.
Finding lovely turns (and a few sharks).
Last turns of the day. Hopefully those dark clouds in the background are a sign of more to come.

Beautiful!
Here in Central Oregon, it hasn’t been quite as nice as you have it up north, but there’s more coming. Thanks for sharing the pics of my backyard growing up!
The biggest news in backcountry skiing in the PNW this year is our uncommon, currently active deep persistent slab problem. The nice weather but thin snowpack that you enjoyed may have cursed us, at least for the short-term. Luckily the storms are hammering now.
