Seemed promising at #summitatsnoqualmie - lots of new snow, no lines at #dodgeridge. But it’s still coming down hard, the snow is thick and sticky, and it’s really hard to see. (Snow in your eyes? or wet goggles?) Rate 2/5.

#summitatsnoqualmie skiing is excellent tonight. Fast snow, no lines. Rate 4/5.

#summitatsnoqualmie today: short lift lines, cause it’s Christmas, but otherwise a bust. Icy and poor visibility. Rate 2/5, don’t bother.

1966. so full of hope.

2nd time up at #summitatsniqualmie. Mild temps, no precip, snow dense but not sticky. Low clouds and thick fog at the top. Short wait in the lift line. Rate 3/5.

First day of the season! Glad to get in a few runs at last, but conditions were poor. #summitatsnoqualmie
Light rain on and off, wet goggles, mild temps, thick low clouds, thick wet sticky snow, short lift line at West. Rate 2/5.

ok already there's a dealbreaker here on bluesky - i'm getting followed by people impersonating celebrities. gtfo.

I’m seeing the Seattle Symphony perform Hansel’s Messiah tonight. My mother would have loved this.

my favorite gift to receive is a record – an album i'm not familiar with, loved by the gift giver. almost always i love those records.

(now playing: the smile, "cutouts," given to me in a secret santa gift exchange at work.)

I'm working my way through my collection of Christmas records. Now playing: my fave Christmas song, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" by Andy Williams.

Opening day of ski season is here! All my life I wished winter would hurry up and be over, but for the past few years I've had a season ski pass, and now I love winter as much as I love summer!
