      Alpental’s rickety Chair #2 is the best! You pointed out the weak looking connection point between the chair and the cable. If you pay close attention, you’ll notice that one of the chairs is missing. I was there just the other day and asked about the missing chair. According to the lift operator, “it fell off in a storm.” He said it nonchalantly, which makes me think they fall off regularly:).
      Last year, the resort had numerous power outages and folks were getting stuck up there frequently and for quite a while. Here’s an old video of stuck people being lowered off of that chair lift. ua-cam.com/video/QGTnoMmnbHw/v-deo.html So being stuck on Chair #2 is not a new problem! 😊
      Anyway, Alpetnal is a gem, rickety lift and all! I’m glad you made the video. Best wishes!

    This was my formative years, skiing Alpental from elementary through high school. We would take chair 1 up to chair 2 and pretty much stay up there all day, with a few exceptions when we would do Upper International and Adrenaline. We'd then jam it all the way down to the bus parking lots near chair 4.
    This was awesome thank you!

    50 years skiing, your vids get us so Stoked. Been taking my kid around CA, OR, NV, and UT to ski as many places as I can afford. A name or a map doesn't really mean a thing. Timing to get excellent conditions and low crowds with the ones you love is priceless. Keep Ripping.
    Frosting on the cake this year will be Matterhorn Glacier Paradise in early July.

    @morgananderson9647 Рік тому +2

    Great Video!
    The PNW has not gotten a lot of snow coverage this year. A lot of the rocks would normally be covered during the ski season.
    Sadly the upper & lower "Nash Gate" along with "Elevator Gate" was closed that day. You would have loved the runs Elevator Shaft, Stokes, & Big Trees. Adrenalin (off International) best spot is way far on the right side along the treeline and not near the cliffs.. It's incredibly steep there and really fun. There is a ton of other challenging runs at Alpental.
    It's a great "locals" mountain, as it's less than 1 hour from downtown Seattle.
    Hope the rest of the trip is amazing!
    Best regards,
    Mo-

    My home mountain. Ride 1-2x per week at Alpental. If I remember correctly you missed a storm/pow day there by about 2-3 days. Alpental Tuesdays are popping off on storm days bc the mountain isn’t open on Mondays. That’s going to change next season though. But sweet video and glad you got to experience it!

    Dude, T-bars are everywhere in PNW. They are great. it means that less people can ride the area, especially if they are the only feed. I'm not shocked you are rocking the 106s over here. The snow goes bonk so fast that unless you are day of, or next day after snow, it's gets icy. PNW is all super beautiful, some of the best views are at mission ridge, you can see out over the range for miles! keep up the stoke!

    So cool that you hit Alpental! Heading up there in a bit today with my 10 year old son. Probably impossible to time with your travel sched. but hope you hit it again some day late season with a deep snow pack after a bit of snow overnight. The peak is around 5k feet and base is like 3k or so so it's really temp dependent on how good the snow is. Happy skiing Lucas!

    Hey hope the issues are solved if not, good luck.
    As for the vlog, not a fan of the stats during the run. Fine after action report from the van, but just clogging up the screen for what we're here for. Maybe during the low key days like this one, see if you can get some interview time with lifties or some chairlift confessionals from locals. Just a thought. A great job capturing the beauty as always. Rock on Prince of Stoke!

    Wow, that's really technical terrain! Moreso than I was expecting at least. I remember hiking around the area in the summer when I was doing an internship over in Washington. It was pretty nice looking but I only got to see the front side. The backside looks awesome tho! If I ever go to the Portland/Seattle area again during winter, would love to actually get on those slopes!

    Life does sometimes have a way of dampening the mood on things from time to time. It's ok though, we roll with the bumps as they come now and then as we go about our merry way. If we stay positive it all balances out in the end. I do however have a temporary cure. Not a real doctor Andy says all you need are some freshie pow dumps and everything that troubles you will be forgotten before you even get the 1st facial pow shower and once you do everything will be right as rain my friend, at least for the day. Of this I have zero doubt. We love your vids no matter what the conditions are like so don't you worry about that one bit, you do what you gotta do.

    Wow, would not have expected you to end up skiing Alpental of all places! That was my home mountain when I lived in WA just because it was the closest/easiest to get to from where I lived. Like you say on a pow day it's so much better and because of all the precip there are a lot of pow days. Chair 2 is sketchy AF, in a way having to get up that slope and ride it keeps out the people that shouldn't be up there. Hilariously buying a pass there costs the same as an Epic local pass, haha!

    Ok, maybe with the ⛅ days (less solar power collected) and cold drains (slow loss) but less power in your battery bank. Solution to that is increase size of battery Bank. Maybe you added more equipment that needs charging? Could be all you need to do is add a Battery or two. However the batteries you add and include replacing the ones in your coach as well. (All batteries have to match exactly or the weaker battery will drain the brand new battery or batteries) not kidding. I know Canada is colder than salt lake city. Just a thought.
