The inside story on outside recreation for South Puget Sound and beyond

A late-season winter storm over the weekend dumped nearly two feet of fresh powder on the Summit at Snoqualmie ski area.

Just saw that Crystal has 20 inches of new snow in the last 24 hours. I highly recommend hitting the slopes today. I skied at White Pass yesterday as part of the Hope on the Slopes fundraiser for the American Cancer Society and the snow was ridiculous.

Here's a shot of a buddy of mine in waste deep powder:

The line of the day came from dad after a friend of ours, Connor, after he woke up Sunday morning and couldn't find his skis and polls. Connor, a Puyallup junior high student, left them sitting in the snow Saturday night.

CONNOR: "My skis are gone."
MY DAD: "They're probably under a foot of snow."
CONNOR: "Are you sure?"
MY DAD: "Well, it might be more like 14 inches."

For the record, Connor found his skis after about 10-15 minutes of digging ... and it was closer to 20 inches.
