Hola La Niña!

Seoul. April 2005.

Paradise (Mt. Rainier), Washington. Facing Mt. Adams.

'Technology': a computerized condo in Seoul, Korea.

Another stellar day at Stevens Pass, with about 24 inches falling the day before. I was a little surprised at how tracked out the main runs were on the backside early in the morning, but with a little work, knee deep powder was easy to find.
The holy waters of Stevens Pass; this is actually a drinking fountain located at the top of the rope-tow. I've been riding up here I don't know how many times and did not know that this existed. I'm assuming it's spring water, and at what felt like 33 degrees, this stuff was tough to beat.
The Woz in deep pow-pow.

Some snow boletes?
Josh and I finished the day checking out the Helly-Hanson competition Stevens was putting on. This dude pulled a nice back flip.

Some good rail action.

Ohh... that one looked like it hurt. He also just about took me out after the face plant.

Future jibbin' fools.

The convergence zone put on a nice lightening show for us in route to Seattle.
Near Everett. I don't even want to know what I-5 looked like.

A beautiful but fishless day on the Sauk, with temperatures reaching into the balmy mid-50's. There are a ton of people out here right now, due in part, to the closure of the Skykomish and NF Stillaguamish Rivers to steelheading (the wild steelhead escapement numbers are way too low... again). Just about every hole was taken by the time I arrived. The early bird definitely nets the fish this time of year...
There are a ton of cut banks on this lower section of the river. The 2003 flooding event is still evident throughout the river. Still have yet to see any of the neighborhood wolf-hybrids that reportedly peruse this area.
This spot looked promising, but no dice.
Nice hook...

Dunes and snow. Hopefully the above average snowpack this year will create a big freshet, which could help flush some more of the this crap out.
