Final Ski day of Season 0

Just wrapped up the final ski day of the 2020/2021 season. AKA my first real season of living in the mountains here in the PNW. We got 6 days in at Summit At Snoqualmie, 3 days at Crystal, and one at Meany Lodge. 🔟 days, not too shabby as I probably had less than that my whole life prior.

My wife progressed from 1 day ever to the same 10 days. She can now ski the blues at Crystal and is moving beyond wedge turns to parallel turns.

We bought IKON passes for the 2021/2022 season and are hoping to get 25 days in. I would really like to get a backcountry setup once the clearances start again in spring 2022. To do this I need to be able to ski everything inbounds at Crystal and venture into some of the slack-country there.

Here’s the strava from that day.
