But before a plan can be finalized, approval is needed from the U.S. Forest Service.Public comments are an important factor as the Forest Service makes its decision. We hope people who know and love The Summit will take a moment to learn more about the proposed improvements and submit a comment to the Forest Service. It's easy to do and it WILL make a difference. <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/173/708/1600/MDP_map2.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/173/708/320/MDP_map2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Click and comment today, before the February 21st deadline!You can e-mail your comments: Deadline for comments is February 21, so there's not much time. Scroll down to find out more about what's planned and how to comment, then click the link to go to the U.S. Forest Service website!<br /><br />Doing it right-a balanced plan for The SummitWe know you want to enjoy the stunning Cascade mountain environment - but do so in good conscience, knowing that extra care was taken to balance great recreation with protection of the environment. It has taken 8 years of planning and environmental studies to develop the improvement plan.<br /><br />Planned benefits:·More time skiing, less time in line, by providing services more strategically throughout the resort, including on-mountain.·Improved and enhanced terrain, including more intermediate runs.·Greater separation between skiers and boarders of differing skill levels.·Better designed connecting trails and lifts that allow you to circulate to different areas of the resort without having to take a shuttle.·Improved services, more restaurants.·A pulse gondola to the top of Alpental with a restaurant that's open winter and summer.·New Alpental chairlifts that provide more convenient access to Internationale Bowl.<br /><br />Protecting the environment:We want to respond to our customers' needs, but do so with minimal environmental consequences. Here are parameters we set for ourselves:Stay within the permit area - 98% of all proposed improvements are within the existing permit area for the resort.Protect the forest - We're adding chairlifts and creating new trails, so some trees, including some that are mature, second-growth, must be removed. But we're removing as few as possible, taking only trees that are closest to existing ski runs, minimizing grading, and providing a buffer of mature trees to a potential wildlife corridor.Protect wildlife - Wildlife populations and movement were carefully studied and the improvements minimize impacts to wildlife.Inclusive review process - Underway for more than eight years, the review process has been thorough and inclusive.<br /><br />Send your comments to the Forest ServicePlease take a moment to review a summary of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement, or the entire document online at <a href="javascript:ol(">www.fs.fed.us/r6/mbs/projects/</a> and contact the U.S. Forest Service in support of The Summit at Snoqualmie's proposed improvements before February 21. E-mail your comments to the Forest Service <a href="http://by102fd.bay102.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/compose?mailto=1&msg=8CE078D4-FBAC-4B1D-931F-984F7DB9F40D&amp;start=0&len=17986&amp;src=&type=x&amp;to=ldonovan@fs.fed.us&cc=&amp;bcc=&subject=&amp;amp;amp;amp;body=&curmbox=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;a=b993d526239e0a5df22518c6a552a18dfb92ca0f1b827f163225971d27a5a86c">here</a>. Only comments that are substantive and address proposed improvements outlined in the report will be considered by the Forest Service. Comments like "Looks good, build it!" will not be considered.<br /><br />Tips on writing effective comments:·State your opinion about a proposed resort improvement.·Back up your opinion with your personal experience.·Focus on problems you experience and how proposed improvements will solve your problems.Example: "I am an intermediate skier and there isn't enough intermediate terrain at The Summit. The proposal to add intermediate and advanced intermediate runs in the Rampart and Creek Run areas will solve this problem. I also like the fact that these areas already are within the resort's existing permit area.""<br /><br />For more information - check out:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.fs.fed.us/sopa/forest-level.php?110605">http://www.fs.fed.us/sopa/forest-level.php?110605</a>Steve Corcoranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01156718230722488494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9614590.post-1132189503380655812005-11-16T17:01:00.000-08:002005-11-16T17:05:03.396-08:00Shell Gas Deals<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/173/708/1600/skifree_ptfinal.0.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/173/708/400/skifree_ptfinal.0.jpg" border="0" /></a>Steve Corcoranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01156718230722488494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9614590.post-1131758803286360112005-11-11T17:25:00.000-08:002005-11-11T17:27:55.276-08:00Summit 411The latest from the Summit 411 mailer:<br /><br />"Well...who'd have thought that after last year we'd be back on the white stuff before Thanksgiving? It just goes to show you that life runs in cycles. For every down, there's an up...etc., etc. I could wax on and on, but I digress.<br /><br />It's our second earliest opening in resort history, so come and help us celebrate. If you haven't reactivated your Big S Pass, do it now at http://www.summitatsnoqualmie.com/reactivate to avoid lines of procrastinators. You'll thank me later...I promise!<br /><br />Here's something that isn't cyclical. It's the Evo GRAND OPENING! My sources tell me that "It's not what you'd expect...so you'd better come and see it for yourself!" This event includes all of the hottest new snowboard and ski gear, as well as streetwear, shoes and tons of accessories. There's a huge tent sale with gear from 30%-70% off. Brands include Ride, K2, Salomon, Rossignol, Nikita, Oakley, Billabong, Element, Etnies, Option, Armada and more. So if you're yearning for that special piece of equipment that you don't have yet, you'd best check it out. The sale runs Friday-Tuesday. And if you tell them "the backcountry beast from Alpental sent me," you get an additional 10% off at the register! But there's even more reason to attend...<br /><br />The GRAND OPENING also includes a movie trifecta free of charge on Saturday night- Teddy Bear Crisis, Absinthe's "Futureproof", and Matchstick's "The Hit List." Film starts rolling at 6PM. That's way better than any re-runs you see on t.v. or lame "edited for time and content" movies on cable.<br /><br />And in the hopes that everyone will get involved, there's the "Get Snowed In" party at Pyramid on November 18th/19th. It's a benefit for the Surfrider Foundation/Snowrider Project, so your dollars help out a worthy cause.

Two days ago, there was fresh snow on the peaks. All sure signs that winter is on its way!<br /><br />Another sure sign that winter is just around the corner is the Washington State Snow Expo. The expo is this weekend at the Qwest Field Event Center. You can come meet Olympic athletes, buy some new gear, buy some used gear, or come buy your Big S Pass at pre-deadline prices. Of course, we'll also be able to reactivate 2004-2005 passes for our loyal Big S guests!

Great live music on both nights, with the proceeds going to the Snowrider Project (the winter arm of the Surfrider Foundation). More info at www.pyramidbrew.com.

No question, the "winter" of 04-05 has treated the Northwest very poorly and has affected many lives in unkind ways. I know that all of you purchased your pass with the anticipation of many days of great skiing or riding amidst the plentiful Northwest snowfalls to which we've all become accustomed.<br /><br />We want you to know that you, Big S Passholders, are our most valued customers. Many of you have held passes for many seasons and have intentions of holding passes for years to come. Others may have purchased for the first time and we are honored you selected The Summit this year to call your home mountain. It has always been, and most certainly remains, our goal to have the Big S Pass known as the best value in Northwest skiing and riding.<br /><br />With this in mind, we are very pleased to announce to you that we intend to extend the skiing and riding privileges for all 2004-05 Big S Passholders at no charge for the entire 05-06 season! As you can well imagine, this represents a serious financial commitment on our part, but given the nature of this past season, we feel strongly that to protect the trust and loyalty you have placed in us, it is the right thing to do. It is with great pleasure and anticipation that we look forward to welcoming you back next year to a very snowy season! We will be in touch directly with you in the coming weeks with more information and details regarding the extension.<br /><br />We are also pleased so many of you have taken advantage of using your pass privileges at our sister resorts, Northstar-at-Tahoe, and Sierra-at-Tahoe. Both resorts have loads of snow and are expecting great spring seasons. Our offer of complimentary skiing at both resorts with your Big S Pass is still valid for the remainder of the season so if you get the chance, we encourage you to get some turns in sometime in the next few weeks.<br /><br />Lastly, we still have not completely given up hope on snow this year! If we are lucky enough to get adequate snow in the next week or two, we may re-open for limited operations yet this year. It just isn't in our nature to give up! We know many of you would still love to get some more turns in this year, and if we are so lucky, we look forward to helping make that happen.<br /><br />Once again, I want to personally thank you for the huge amount of support you have all shown through this very difficult year. While this has certainly been the most difficult season I have experienced in my 25-year career at The Summit, I am very proud of the tremendous efforts our team has put forth to make the most out of a difficult situation. Thank you to so many for noticing and letting us know. Your positive feedback has been greatly appreciated by the entire Summit team. <br /><br />We look forward to seeing you next year.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Dan BrewsterGeneral Manager<br /><br /><a href="javascript:ol("><a href="javascript:ol(">www.summitatsnoqualmie.com/</a></a>Steve Corcoranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01156718230722488494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9614590.post-1111938394918691382005-03-27T07:42:00.000-08:002005-03-27T07:46:34.923-08:00Conditions<p>Alpental : Closed </p><p>Summit Central : Closed </p><p>Summit West : Closed </p><p>Summit East : Closed </p><p>Nordic Center : Closed </p><p>Tubing Center : Closed </p><p><br />Air Temp: 34ºF</p><p>Humidity: 99% </p><p>Surface Temp: 32ºF </p><p>Dew Point: 34ºF </p><p>Elevation: 2984ft/910m </p><p>Wind Speed: 4mph </p><p>24hr High/Low: 34.00/33.00 </p><p>Wind Direction: NE New Snow: 2" </p><p>Base Depth: 6" </p><br />TODAY<br />RAIN TAPERING TO SHOWERS THIS MORNING.

The amount of support and positive feedback you have given us has been immense. <br /> <br />I have been a Summit skier (and now snowboarder as well) for my entire life. No question, this winter has been right up there as one of the most challenging and disappointing. I lived through the 76-77 winter as a disappointed teenager with new skis not used until March. I lived through the 80-81 winter as a disappointed young ski instructor without skiers to teach. Finally and more recently, I patiently waited for the snows to come in the fall of 1989 and they never did. January of that year treated us well, however, and by late January we had an above average snowpack and great skiing the rest of the year! Fourteen feet of snow in two weeks! I dream every night of a "re-run" of that January, only let's call it February! <br /> <br />Looking forward this year, of course none of us know for sure what Mother Nature has in store. We are pleased that a number of the forecasters at this point are calling for real winter to start soon, with average or above average snowfall on the way. Looking back at the snowfall data from other years with poor starts, the trend has been strongly in favor of this happening. <br /> <br />Our staff at the Summit takes great pride in our ability to make the best out of difficult situations. Rest assured, we will do everything possible to get full operations back up and running as soon as we can. We are firm in our belief that Mother Nature will be kind in the coming months and bless us with a large amount of snow. <br /> <br />We do of course recognize at this point that the number of skiing days available to you has been less than expected. It is certainly our desire to keep you as a dedicated Summit skier or rider and keep our Big S Pass known for its incredible value. As the remainder of the season unfolds, we will continue to assess the quantity and quality of skiing available and let you know in the spring just what we can do for credits or discounts off of future pass purchases. <br /> <br />In the meantime, if you have the opportunity to travel south or north of the state, we highly recommend you take advantage of some of the offers we have been able to put together specially for Big S Pass holders. For example, your Big S Pass is honored seven days a week for the rest of the season at both Northstar-at-Tahoe, and Sierra-at-Tahoe. Special lodging deals are also available. We've heard from a number of folks who've already made the trip south and had a fantastic time in all that snow that missed us earlier in the month. If you prefer to travel north, check the Big S Club link on our website for details on special deals at Whistler and other nearby resorts. <br /> <br />Once again, we appreciate immensely the huge support, patience, and overall positive energy so many of you have shown in the past several weeks. We look forward to nothing more than seeing you again on the slopes soon. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Dan Brewster <br />General Manager <br />Steve Corcoranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01156718230722488494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9614590.post-1106760112200684152005-01-26T09:20:00.000-08:002005-01-26T09:21:52.200-08:00Forcast calls for more warm weatherTemperature: 39F <br />New Snow: 0" <br />Base Depth: 15" <br /> <br />Forcast: <br /> <br /> <br />TODAY <br />MOSTLY CLOUDY.

It's 3rd and nine, we're a little bruised, but punting is not an option. The playbook calls for Summit West to open today from 9AM-4PM. <br /> <br />Dodge Ridge, Little Thunder, and the Magic Carpet will operate. Adult lift ticket prices will be $30 and youth lift tickets will be $25. Half day begins at 1PM; adult tickets are $23 and youth are $18. <br /> <br />Since the forecast is still calling for a blitz play (i.e. more rain), operations are day-to-day. Check back tomorrow for updates on operations for Friday and this weekend.
