Hello Rainier. Definitely the best powder day of my Puget Sound existence. A solid 18" fell on Thursday, leaving some extremely light and luscious powder in its wake. This was my first time at Crystal (I'm embarrassed to admit) and was impressed by the amount of terrain I encountered. I think I finished the day with a bit of a sunburn. It was one of those days that you dream about.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2400/1315/1600/Crystal%20015.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2400/1315/1600/Crystal%20015.jpg" border="0" /></a>It was pretty much like this the whole morning.

This area was largely off-limits until the late '90s when Pol Pot finally kicked the bucket.
