<p>My wife and I left Seattle on Saturday. 14 hours later we were in Salt Lake City. Day one, skiing at Alta. Day two, skate skiing at Solitude. Day three, a <a href="http://pa.photoshelter.com/c/adventurephotography/gallery-show/G0000Ei90.jE_lAA/">backcountry ski tour</a> up Big Cottonwood Canyon.

<p>For those of you who live in the Seattle area, next Saturday, Nov 8th, is the <a title="avalanche website" href="http://www.avalanchenw.org/">NW Snow &amp; Avalanche Snow Summit</a>. The day consists of talks from various folks in the know about avalanches (Martin Volken from <a href="http://www.proguiding.com/content/our-guides">Pro Guiding Service</a> for example), ski touring in the Cascades and, for all you <a title="backcountry ski photos" href="http://mackieimages.com/photoblog/online-photo-albums/backcountry-skiing/">backcountry skiers</a>, some useful discussion on stability tests. So, check it out! Following the summit is the Friends of NWAC&#8217;s annual Snowbash fundraiser at the Tractor Tavern.</p>
<p>You can buy tickets online for both:</p>
<ul>
<li>Avi Summit &#8211; <a href="http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/44301 ">http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/44301 </a></li>
<li>Snowbash fundraiser &#8211; <a href="http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/47281">http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/47281</a></li>
</ul>
<p>All in all, it makes for a great day of avalanche awareness and of course, kicking off the ski season with some friends and a couple beers.</p>

Well maybe not, but it&#8217;s hard not to feel it in the air these days. Mornings are crisp and cool, snow levels are dropping (well sort of&#8230;I think the top of Mt Rainier may have had a dusting recently) and a friend of mine in Whitefish just sent some hiking photos from Glacier National Park [...]

<p>Well maybe not, but it&#8217;s hard not to feel it in the air these days. Mornings are crisp and cool, snow levels are dropping (well sort of&#8230;I think the top of <strong><a title="Mt Rainier Photos" href="http://mackieimages.com/photoblog/?page_id=25+title%3D&amp;album=4&amp;gallery=14">Mt Rainier</a></strong> may have had a dusting recently) and a friend of mine in Whitefish just sent some hiking photos from Glacier National Park and there had to have been at least 3 inches of P&#8230;O&#8230;W&#8230;D&#8230;E&#8230;R!</p>
<p>Yes I love winter, even here in the Pacific northwest. Because for every inch of rain that falls here in Seattle, a foot of snow falls in the Cascades. And since it rains quite frequently here, it also snows&#8230;a lot. I&#8217;m not a resort skier, I hate lines and lift ticket prices are just about absurd. (Relatively speaking that is&#8230;they&#8217;re actually on the cheap end here.) So for myself, and the growing masses, looking for endless face shots, unknown adventures with friends and desolate mountains, the backcountry beckons.</p>
<p>So although winter may in fact not arrive for many months, I just posted (and will be posting more) some <strong><a title="backcountry skiing pictures" href="http://mackieimages.com/photoblog/?page_id=25%20title=#C2">backcountry skiing pictures</a></strong> from seasons past to get everyone in the mood.</p>
