Meadows, Timberline, or Ski Bowl?

 

[NickThePyro]

Definitely, I'm getting my pass here pretty soon, but when the snow starts piling up, just give me a call. It takes me just about as long to get there from here as it will take you from the westside.

I can make it from the MV to Snoqualmie in 40 minutes

 

[aussiewheeler]

I ski mostly at Skibowl, (don't laugh, if you know where to go they have some sick terrain, plus they are close) but timberlines good for the park. Im only at meadows for races.

I forgot you guys have high school teams down there.

Ski Bowl has an awesome GS course.

It's something like 53 miles or so from the Berg to the Summit, so it will take me about the same maybe a little more

Yeah the GS course down reynolds is intense, "the waterfall" is pretty sketchy at speed

have you ever been to the backcountry at Skibowl like in the outback? Im sure its not as good as baker or crystal but it makes for awesome pow days

I've only been to Hood for summer camp and races. Last time I was there for a GS I ate shit haulin through waterfall, My coaches said I had the fastest time up till that point.

Every year I tell myself I'm going to hike to the throne, but I still haven't done it, maybe this year...

That place is the SHIT! Don't really like hiking, but its worth it for sure!

Keil

Just looked at a Trail map, apparently I have done the throne, I meant to say Silver King, thats the next peak over, but I agree, some of the best runs I've ever had!!

BTW, anyone know Steven's Pass fairly well? I've only been a handful of times but would love to go with someone who has a good understanding of the mountain and could show me some good BC terrain? I dont' care wether you ride or ski.

Skied there every weekend in the winter since I was 3

Awesome, you'll be hearing from me once the white stuff starts piling up! Maybe we could set something up.
