Stevens Pass
After a job well done and a New Years Eve well celebrated in Mt Baker we set our course to Stevens Pass, our last destination on this trip. During the last couple of months we had spoken a lot to Chris, our guy on the mountain, and he had seriously arranged everything! You’re the man Chris!! We arrived in the evening and checked in to our hotel after picking up our lift passes at the resort. The light snow falling on our cars did not make us less exited. We went for a meal in the village which by the way was built like an Austrian alp village. Felt rather strange to order schnitzel und apfelstrudel!!
First day skiing was Saturday and the last day of the American holidays, so the place was really crowded. Luckily Chris hooked us up with JimJack who showed us around the area, and got us some of that white powder that we care so much for. (Snow). In the evening the friendly Americans invited us to try some of the local malt, and Sunday we went to church…..
Monday was a busy day filming because the bad news about warm winds and rain from Hawaii reached us. The storm was going to hit Stevens Pass Tuesday afternoon. When we woke up Tuesday morning it was raining big time, and it was raining all the way up to 1 mile before the resort where the snow took over. Thank god!! We knew this was the last day skiing so we just gave it all until the rain started to take over again. “Life’s to short to ski in rain” (JimJack the 3rd). Unfortunately we couldn’t ski as much as we wanted, but that’s just part of the game. Stevens Pass is a really fun mountain with lots of possibilities, so I’m sure we’ll be back to ski the rest of it…..some sunny dayJ. Thank you Stevens Pass and a special thanks to Chris who really made this week perfect! Also a big thank you to JimJack our guide 24 hours….
We spent the last days in the hotel hot tub doing nothing before we went back to Seattle and had a party in good old SCH-spirit. I’m sure Adde will tell you all about it in the next blogJ

The small town of Leavenworth looks exactly like Switzerland ...except for the super wide, SUV friendly roads...
