+Pepper Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Criminal thanks for the pic. Now it's time to set a snow day for the kids. Sweeeet!!!!! Pepper Horizontals where it's at! Quote Link to comment
+Right Wing Wacko Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Moun10Bike and I got to see some of that snow first hand on the way home from Wenatchee last night! It was snowing fairly hard all the way over the pass. It looks pretty in pictures, but driving home in it after a log day of caching......... It was still a great trip, and I got to learn from watching one of the Masters of Caching. Quote Link to comment

+Criminal Posted November 25, 2003 Author Share Posted November 25, 2003 Bump. It's gettin deep! Is anyone doing any of the mountain caches anymore, or is it off till spring? Quote Link to comment
lucyandrickie Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Depends on how tired we are after skiing. Quote Link to comment
+CachinCin Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Last year some people from the WSGA got together once or twice for snowshoeing to a cache. I'd love to give this a try, but it will be a first-time experience for me. Cin Quote Link to comment
lucyandrickie Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I would be up for a snowshoeing expedition. Never tried it but it sounds like fun. Rickie will have to come along so he can pull me up if I get stuck The cachers who did this last year, if I remember correctly, were Seth! and BadDog. Maybe we should contact them to see if they are interested? Quote Link to comment

And the cache that they didn't find last year is still there to not find again this winter Can one rent snow-shoes? I'm not sure I would do this enough to go out and buy a pair and all the fixings.

lucyandrickie Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Now then...if Criminal were to make the DOT camera a webcam cache, I bet we would have quiet a few people willing to start out here Time to see what is the closest caches nearby. Quote Link to comment
+paul2tele Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 You can rent snowshoes at the Summit Nordic Center (Hyak) during the season. Not open yet, but hopefully by Dec. 6th. You can do the Hyak Tunnel cache from the John Wayne trailhead just beyond the Nordic Center. Reflections On Gold Creek Pond is also reachable by snowshoe or XCski. The Exit 54 webcam (looking north/west) might make a good web cache - have your picture taken in front of the big orange grader that gets parked out there all winter! paul2tele Quote Link to comment

You're on! What I meant was that it rarely snows here in town. I liked living in Denver much better. It snows there about every 2 weeks, but melts off the roads quickly. The snow sticks around for a few days each time. Here in Albuquerque, it snows maybe once a month, but only an inch or two at a time. It's gone by 10am. I'd rather have snow on the ground all winter long. Quote Link to comment

Of course down in the lowlands of Seattle, it may snow once a year as it has done once already about three weeks ago or so (at least north of town). But it has been dumping hard in the Cascades. Two snowshoers already buried by avalanches. Let's be careful out there! BTW - I love Taos (and Stevens Pass, too). Great snow. Something about riding a chair that tops out over 12,000 feet is very cool. And the high traverse - whoa! Quote Link to comment

nolenator Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I cross country ski out of Price Creek alot so look for a new one at the north end of the dam to compliment Barrel of Fun, might make it a large as well. Peace, Nolenator Quote Link to comment
+romulusnr Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I'm a little jealous. I haven't been able to enjoy real *snow* since I left Boston. The stuff Seattle gets isn't worth mentioning. It melts if you just look at it. All snow does to me out here is make my regular travels over the passes that much more of an unendurable experience. Quote Link to comment

I'll be happy to join... open to any suggestion! Count me in, too! Also, Nolenator - I'd love to try to connect w/you for an XC ski outing sometime this fall/winter. I have a friend in Portland who comes up occasionally, you remind me of him, you both crack me up. He's a big XC nut (I'm only intermediate) and he does biathlons in the winter. Maybe we could get a group together of skicachers (and Mike, the non-caching skier). Quote Link to comment
nolenator Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I am not an expert either. By the looks of it, there shouldn't be a lacking for snow this year. Might even be able to ski way before Thanksgiving. Cool! P2T, I would love to take you up on the snow shoe trip. I bet EGH! would have a good couple of tips for us. Peace, Nolenator Quote Link to comment
+Schwagmeister Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I run the Activity Center at Schweitzer Mountain Resort near Sandpoint, Idaho. We've got a few caches out on the slopes and the snowshoe trail and in the village. I'm hoping for more. We have 5 Sportrak Map GPSr's available for rent for geocaching or to record ski tracks. Still developing the program, working on pricing and such. I would like to see more caches out on the hill and wondering what advice people might have about placing winter-friendly hides. Thoughts?

+GeoRoo Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Snow coming down at my place near Monroe. Let it snow! Cache ahead and I were up snow shoeing 2 days ago above Stevens Pass and it was fantastic. Cold, but sunny blue skys and lots of new snow. The ski area looks to be hurting for snow though. There was anywhere from 2-10 ft on Skyline Ridge. While looking for a cache site for Skyline the Top I found a drivers license!......It was sitting sideways about 6 ft down a near verticle wall of snow. I reached down with my ski poles and plucked it from the snow. Weirdest thing I ever saw. Who's up for some snow shoe caching? Here's a pic from my newest cache looking down on the ski area Oh BTW there is a M10 coin and EGH's WA Geocoin #384. Quote Link to comment
+LittleBlue Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 ooh, I would love to use my snowshoes again- we've shelved them since the girls were born. Not something I'd wat to do by myself, tho... Quote Link to comment

+TotemLake Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 It's not a lack of desire that I don't go snowshoeing, it's a lack of time. Seems my customers have new toys that need hooking up to the internet, and some have old toys encumbered with spyware and trojans. Business is good during my days off, but it sure kills my etertainment value. Quote Link to comment
