Moni,
One of my best friends lives in NW Spokane and he's been sending me pics of this too. Crazy snow! He had his wife belay him up on the roof yesterday so he could safely shovel it off before the next storm comes (and I guess there are two storms lining up to hit you again). Good luck!

He must live nearby - since we live in north central/NW area. Unless he has a flat roof, the building codes here indicate that we could easily hold twice as much snow as we've gotten. Hopefully that won;t happen. We are to get another foot by Monday. Who needs to work out - we just shovel. :-)
Moni, I really enjoyed this album. I'm from Southern Nevada but I spent December 21st thru January 1st in St Maries, Idaho (about an hour away from Spokane). I shoveled lots of snow but bagged four peaks using x-country skis and or snowshoes while I was there. Beautiful area (summer or winter)!
Thanks for the compliment. That you climbed anyway is great, but given that during that time avalanche conditions were the worst they'd been in years, you either picked reasonable goals or were very lucky! It hasn't snowed in a while - but the weather is looking promising for the week. The old snow is still about a foot deep in our yard and I doubt will melt any time soon.

Ski to schoolI go to school at Whitworth, we had a kid ski to class in January.
About as much snow as we get in Sisters, OR.
