+evergreenhiker! Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Hopefully, this will mean a better snowpack than last years. Quote
+Bull Moose Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 And now it's stopped updating so it's still dark. ---Stats banner used to be here.--- Quote
+Criminal Posted October 31, 2003 Author Posted October 31, 2003 It's updating again. COAdmin closed the other one thinking it is a duplicate. That one is Blewett Pass, this is for Stevens. http://fp1.centurytel.net/Criminal_Page/ Quote
+Pepper Posted November 2, 2003 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
+Right Wing Wacko Posted November 2, 2003 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
+Criminal Posted November 4, 2003 Author Posted November 4, 2003 Ok, giving this one more try before I create Socky II. http://fp1.centurytel.net/Criminal_Page/ Quote
+Byron & Anne Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 OK, Bring it on.... Oops... Gotta get new tires for the cachemobile first. Ahhhhh.. What the heck, bring it on, we'll get the tires soon. Byron Creator of Byron's Famous Stump Pin Quote
+Criminal Posted November 25, 2003 Author 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
lucyandrickie Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Depends on how tired we are after skiing. Quote
+CachinCin Posted November 25, 2003 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
lucyandrickie Posted November 25, 2003 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

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 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
+paul2tele Posted November 25, 2003 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
+Criminal Posted December 16, 2003 Author Posted December 16, 2003 So deep at Steven's it's covering the camera! Quote
+Team GPSaxophone Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 So deep at Steven's it's covering the camera! I need to move! Quote
+astheravenflies Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 So deep at Steven's it's covering the camera! I need to move! Are you nuts? I'd trade 10 days at Stevens for one day at Taos. Quote

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

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

nolenator Posted October 22, 2004 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
+romulusnr Posted October 23, 2004 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
+Criminal Posted November 1, 2004 Author Posted November 1, 2004 Bump Getting deep up at Stevens Pass! Quote

Blame whatever you want, we used to have great snow here that lasted for weeks instead of days or worse. Quote

I have six pair of snowshoes, they can be made available for the right group trek proposal (preferably involving post-cache a microbrew victory celebration - am I talking to the right crowd?). Quote

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
nolenator Posted November 2, 2004 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
+Schwagmeister Posted November 21, 2004 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?

+1stimestar Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 My work place parking lot 2 days ago. Not real pretty but fun to see how high the snow piles up with no wind. Quote
+Wander Lost Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 I just saw some white flakey stuff falling from the sky down here in Federal Way!!!! Quote
+Prying Pandora Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 I just saw some white flakey stuff falling from the sky down here in Federal Way!!!! Just took this photo of my back yard in Kent Quote
+NomadRaven Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Yay, the white flakey stuff has quit falling! (At least in "central" Federal Way). We've had our token snow, doesn't that mean it's spring now? Awesome picture Phil & Cathy. The big flakes are so pretty. Quote
+GeoRoo Posted January 7, 2005 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
+LittleBlue Posted January 7, 2005 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
+GeoRoo Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Drag those snow shoes out!........Geocaching does not stop when the snow flies....... Quote
+Anonymous' Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 No snow at all in Bothell. I still have to go to school. Quote
+TotemLake Posted January 7, 2005 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
nolenator Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 It is mostly sunny and 85 degrees down here in lovely Tulum, Mexico. Whoo Hoo! Peace, Nolenator Quote
+evergreenhiker! Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 I was thinking of this one today...but avalanche conditions are to be considered. Quote
+Patudles Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 It is beautiful in Cach-cadia. Snow falling all day. Leavenworth a picture perfect town except for all the cars slidding all over the place. This snow is much welcomed and needed even if it puts the caching on hold. I'm not quite ready for the snowshoes yet. Maybe next year! ~ Tudles Quote
MarcusArelius Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 It is mostly sunny and 85 degrees down here in lovely Tulum, Mexico. Whoo Hoo! Peace, Nolenator Grrrrr, I mean Brrrrr Quote
nolenator Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 Man what a shock to the system. It is freaking cold here. It is good to be home though, time to go play in the snow. Whoo Hoo! Peace, Nolenator Quote
