I see you are in Seattle. We have a ski condo over the border in Big White (haven't been in the last couple of seasons for obvious reasons!). I love that general area around Seattle, Vancouver and interior BC.
Have skied Big White and just about froze my @$$ off. Head to the top, ski down to the lodge to warm up. Get back on the lifts to the top, ski down and warm up at the lodge all day long. Couldn’t feel my face or my toes. Man was it cold! Good mountain though. Really enjoyed the runs.
Done some rides up along the boarder. Never forget scaring about a dozen blue Herons out of a very long culvert which was very cool.
