    I skied every Friday night with snow at Snoqualmie Pass for 10 years. Sometimes it was a foot of fresh wet snow with an inch of crust. You don't turn in the snow. Your tracks look like hash marks. Some nights we were the only ones on the hill and we chased the ski patrol. A groomed hill is really enjoyable and a whole lot of people have a lot of fun because of those groomers.

    Ever since Vail bought up one of our local resorts they like to take our dollars and spend it at their high end resorts, I say this because since their take over they’ve cut the number of qualified groomer drivers and left us with ones that will leave basically a curb down the middle a run. You’ll go from making big GS turns then out of nowhere hit one of these 4” curbs, or like yesterday we decided to go up because it was supposed to be warm and sunny, and thought we could go ride some fresh groomers to strengthen our legs for the powder days. But they seen the weather forecast and thought since we groomed yesterday, we’ll just do a couple tracks on each chair instead of their typical groom everything daily.
