Ever since I moved to Spokane, every time I go to Silver Mountain or 49 degrees north the mountain is virtually empty. I’ve never had to wait in a lift line at all, and if I go a little off the beaten path it is as if a helicopter dropped me there. This weekend I did a little hiking to get to some runs I hadn’t ridden before (not out of bounds though), and it looked like nobody had skied there in a month; there were several feet of pristine, untouched powder, it was awesome!! Is it always like this at Silver Mountain and other inland northwest resorts, or have I just been getting lucky this year?
