Quick walk over in the Dry Gulch/Saddle Rock zone. Warm fall day... a great time to be outside in the PNW Here's what is looks like on Google Earth... this is part of a trail system that spans the West side of the valley. Saddle Rock is in the center left... if you squint real hard you can...

Moved to PA back in 89... The ski area formerly known as Little Gap... not a great name for a mountain... shortly after I moved to the area, they changed to Blue Mtn. I remember when the Challenge chair first opened... it wasn't very reliable. I vaguely remember being there (not on the...

First trip to VT was back in '82. It was one of the last years with the double barrel "skis-on" gondi. I remember a year or two later they added their first HSQ... I think it was called the Yankee Clipper

Yeah. There is a small group of hard-cores that are opposed. I'm not sure I fit the description of a local hard-core. I've only been out here for 10 seasons. The real opo is coming from people who grew up with Mission. The neighborhood vibe is pretty positive. Home values in my...

A spot for trail-maps that were created before the turn of the 21st century I like older style maps... particularly where the map is super imposed on the map. This is Mission Ridge WA from 1986

This is a really sweet CGR of Mission Ridge... expansion area is in the lower left quadrant... 3 chairs, a village with a cabriolet gondi, and a destination village. :unsure: ❄⛷?

Another good one... skied here a few years ago.

I typically play around from the ground-level valley views... this morning, I have been snapping shots from ridge tops....this is a shot of Echo Valley from the top of the poma.

Thought this was really good... single chair in the thumbnail drew me in... it was worth the 20 minutes.

Big fan of DoctorTelemark... skied this in 2015.

If you go really high on the forecast... it's starting to feel like Winter over here. ❄ ?:unsure:

In the process of packing up my house as we speak. Moving into a rental in my neighborhood while we build a new house outside of Cashmere (down in the valley). I'll still be up by the ski area for 1 more season. We have been planning the move for a while, so it feels good to finally execute...

Dude... Rocky Mountain PBS is a ski video Gold Mine

I really enjoy these types of ski films...

My favorite cover of this classic

Here's another one from a walk I took a few weeks ago... this is a fantastic ski spot. The viewable route is pretty straight forward. Getting to the trailhead requires a sled. The road to the trailhead is closed at mile 1 during the winter.... it's about 15 miles from there until you start...

I'm a map collector. Google Earth is one of my favorite software inventions so far this century. I can kill hours playing with the 3D, and light animation feature This is an image my new homestead (blue square). I won't be able to see any of these mountains from my house, but I can climb the...

The Peter Griffin laugh always makes me laugh out loud...

For sure... I have a meeting tonight to kick off pre-season prep. We received a sizable donation over the summer. I'm hoping we can use some of it add a mobile fan cannon. We have the water, we just need a bit more cash to get things started..
