Due to the lack of snow at Snoqualmie Pass did not get to go skiing last Friday and it is uncertain if they will get to go this week. Only one of the six slopes are open. Summit West,and its only open until four. Snoqualmie only has four trails open and only two of them are groomed. At Summit West they have three of the lifts opened. There was only 16" of snow cover last week. The good news is that it is lightly snowing. I talked to Glyn Jenkins Head of Ski Bus about alternative activities he said. "Right now the options are roller skating in White Center or having a group come in and talk about avalanche safety." However students ended up going to EC Hughes.
When I asked him why we we do ski bus he replied, "We do ski bus because it is nice for all the grades to mix together in a free environment, have a good time and get out of the classroom. It's also nice for non skiers to learn how to ski so when the go to the slopes their parents they don't have to bother with lesson" - Glyn
Right now the conditions are 39 degrees and sunny with 22" of snow. With lots of rocks and shrubs sticking out, if we did go skiing it might not be as fun.
If we don't go skiing this week, what will we do? I hope we finally get to go to the slopes!
