WHEN - DAY TWO
WHERE - WHITE PASS, WASHINGTON, U.S.A.
WHY- BIG SNOW! OLD TIME SKI FEEL. BIG MOUNTAIN
WHAT WAS THE BEST FOOD OF THE DAY - 1)LA FIESTA BURRITO FIESTA SUPPER 2) BREAKFAST BUFFET AT THE TRAIL CREST. NO LINES FOR THE WAFFLE GRILL.
WHO ‘S IN CHARGE OF READING THE MAP? UNSCHEDULE LATE NIGHT WALLA-WALLA VISIT.
What can we write about our first day of our road to ski trip? Well firstly Hyla can’t write nothin because the last time I check this was Going over Niagara Paul’s. Not some as clever Hyla’s……..
I am manning the keyboard BUT rather large smiles on both our faces as we unbinded the boards this late afternoon pretty much said it ALL.
I was hoping to focus our ski trip on the out of the way, as few notable big name places and most importantly any place that doesn’t have “RESORT” highlighted endlessly on the half inch thick brochure.
Well well well. I am sad to report that our first stop, White Pass, has fallen into the sad category as in many beauty pageants and Olympic figure skating finals. When you know you still have another ten contestants coming, you can’t give a perfect score to the first on stage. How can you score any one or ski hill that follows.
If White Pass was not our first hill, a perfect ten no, but….
Judges please:.
Big Mountain feel. Lots of altitude. No attitude.
Only a handful of lifts but the right positioning of old and new.
No lift lines. (Were are they when you need them. Rest please. Few but friendly people. LOCALS.
On mountain eats.
And oh yes
SNOW, LOTS. GROOMED. NATURAL. DEEP. POWDER. HURT MY LEGS BSAUTIFUL SNOW
LOTS of deep in the steep and trees.
No safety bars lets you get off and get skiin quicker.
