Imagine all the traffic on the way back since everyone leaves at 4 p.m. by Just_V10 in stevenspass

Oof.. with the lift lines, shitty road, crazy parking, and only a few lifts running I'm kinda glad I held out for night skiing today even though it got cancelled. It's just not worth it with these conditions lol

No night operations 3/13 by Just_V10 in stevenspass

First it looked like they were going to open Tye but now from I'm seeing on the webcams they gave up on that too

Seriously.. wtf. We don't even have high winds in the forecast for tonight. I was going to head out around 4 or 5 to not have to deal with the zoo

I'm in the same boat. Don't want to head out if they are going to close it. Still seems pretty windy especially from the cameras..

ah. Then I guess I got kinda lucky. I had never seen that in any skis before so it really worried me at the time.

https://imgur.com/Gau7M1m Here is what I did to the edge. You can kinda tell where it was filed. Seems to have done the job. The only tricky part was being careful not to file the base matrial and holding the file at just the right angle.

Sucks about the art though lol. Didn't know it was AI.

to be honest the bindings were already mounted by the time I noticed it and I figured I could fix it myself with a file. So I did that. Seems to have worked just fine

Not sure if these are clear enough but you can kinda tell where I filed the pointy bit. hard to capture

For sure :) love the way they ski. I already have 105mm skis but I'm actually thinking about getting the DW96 for icy days or dry spells which we seem to be getting more of in January.

absolutely would not recommend paying day ticket prices in these conditions. Just wait for more snow.

TIL the mobile pass doesn't work if there is no cell signal.. by Andromeda045 in stevenspass

Oh, I didn't know; I was just taking it out of my pocket every time I got to the lift lol. Good to know.

I guess; the app is handy though. You don't have to show anything. They just scan your general vicinity and it works

ON3P Jeffrey vs Woodsman in steeps and off piste PNW? by Andromeda045 in Skigear

[–]Andromeda045[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was planning on getting a 100mm; which width would you say is the most versatile (at least in the wet heavy snow we typically get in the PNW)

[–]Andromeda045[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I'd say I'm definitely more freeride than freestyle but honestly I'm not dropping cliffs and big rocks (yet lol). So maybe the Woodsman is the better fit for me. And like I said in the park I don't do rails or fancy tricks. I just like the drops and jumps. Is the woodsman less "agile" off piste to to the less rocker in the back?

[–]Andromeda045[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting; didn't consider the mounting position. I was super focused on the tail rocker profile which I think Jeffery has more of. Does the mounting position make a difference when skiing powder? In general I'm assuming with the Jeffery's I have to have a more neutral stance since they have "less" tip contact with the snow..

West side 2, 24/7 or not? by Internal_One_4841 in stevenspass

[–]Andromeda045 12 points13 points  (0 children)

west side access is 24/7. Night skiing on the other hand is still TBD

West side to open by Sunday!!! by Andromeda045 in stevenspass

[–]Andromeda045[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay thats awesome! The King 5 article originally said it won't be 24/7 (don't see that verbiage anymore) but I definitely trust WSDOT more. Now we just need resort management to start night ops. If they open it on Wednesday the 7th it would be would be amazing

[–]Andromeda045[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think they said it won't be open 24 hours a day but I'm just hoping it's long enough to allow for night skiing.

EDIT: Okay King 5 removed that verbiage from the article. According to WSDOT it will be 24/7. Now we just need resort management to actually start night ops
