After a long dry spell, we finally got some new snow...only about 7" new showing on telemetry, but the wind did a good job doubling that on east aspects. Occasionally we'd touch down on the old crust, but for the most part the snow was way better than expected. Hopefully there's more to come.

Chair Peak mixed bag of turns
Not much new snow during the week and the sun put a crust on everything south facing, so Mike, Ross, Becky and I headed up to Snoqualmie Pass for a quick your before having to get gussied that night up for the office holiday party. We toured up to the north slope of Chair Peak....unfortunately the wind did a number on the snow and it was a total mixed bag of powder, crust, ice, and everything else. Still nice to get out of the Seattle clouds into the sun and stretch the legs for a bit.
