Ran up to ski the Slot on Mt Snoqualmie yesterday afternoon after work. Left Seattle around 3pm, skinning just after 4pm from the Alpental parking lot, and reaching the top a couple hours later. It was mixed rain/snow as we left, which quickly turned to snow above 4k or so. Found some really nice powder snow in the Slot. Daaaaamn I love skiing powder in May. On the way out, we traversed skiers' left up and over the saddle and back into the Alpy valley. The ski down to the car was a bit mank but we didn't care... we were pretty
stokedAaron looking happy at the top, anticipating a pretty awesome ski
The entry to the Slot, looking a little ominous in the fading light and fog
The top pitch, steep and good snow. It was muy bueno
sweet pow pow
The visibility improved in the middle section, while the snow was just as good
Yes, it's really May
