STEVENS 23/11/2001 ------------------ was anyone at baker for opening day?? how was it up there?? i heard that whistler was pretty icy and crowded... bummer. BAKER 25/11/2001 ------------------ Skied, opps...I mean rode up at Paradise on Sat. Conditions were variable- lots of wind crust and pockets of wind drifts. Tough skiing, uhhhh...I mean riding or whatever. Lots of folks up there wandering around all over the place. Tons of boarders post holing in the skin track...punks! Ever hear of snowshoes! Saw some kids building a kicker over a little road gap, it brought me back to the good old days! Also saw a boarder bring down a nice little wind deposited slab on a south facing 35-40% slope, he got tumbled a bit but came out all right. Lucky for him cause he was riding by himself and no-one could have goten to him quickly - becarefull up there! Matt Rules! Peace out bro! Lambone Rainier - above Paradise 27/11/2001 ------------------ i was at stevens on friday and they have pretty good coverage. when i left, there were still some stashes of powder to be had and it was starting to snow pretty hard...the snow is pretty light too.. if you go this weekend have fun with the crowds. STEVENS 30/11/2001 ------------------ Stevens was nice and deep on saturday. Snowed all day. If you went to the right spots there wern\'t many crowds.
