Slot & Circus Couloir


Ed called and was motivated to get out in the mountains and do some real skiing (i.e. not lift assisted).  We initially planned on skiing Red and Lundin, but, in typical Brandon and Ed style indecisively changed our plan to ski north facing instead of west and south facing.  Good choice it turns out, since the sun came out and baked things, but in the sheltered north recesses Mt Snoqualmie we found good powder.  A little slabby and reactive (were able to kick off a couple small slabs that ran a ways, but beautiful day to be in the mountains.
