		<description><![CDATA[Last night at Summit Central, the slush was deeeeep. Huge mounds of slush. I took out the Neiva Escape 163 for a few runs through the park even though it is a bit big for a park board&#8211;my ideal park ride would be about a 156&#8211;and had a super-fun time on it. The board is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Conditions in the Northwest Cascades remain locked in an El Ni&#241;o pattern, bringing warmer and drier weather than we&#8217;re accustomed to. Since Alpental, Mt. Baker and Crystal Mountain haven&#8217;t been receiving their usual obscene snowfall totals, I decided to seek out the powder. After spending most of Tuesday scoping the weather forecasts and jet stream [...]]]></description>

The cold air sitting over British Columbia finally began to push southward late Thursday, resulting in heavy snow in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in 1987, snowboard companies couldn&#8217;t distance themselves from rocker&#8211;a concave base design also known as reverse camber&#8211;fast enough. Soon after board manufacturers realized the effectiveness of camber, along with other ski-manufacturing-related innovations such as sidewall construction, rocker boards quickly became the industry&#8217;s dinosaurs. Strange for an industry that at the time was only in [...]]]></description>

Four inches overnight wasn&#8217;t much more than dust on crust but the snow was still falling as I arrived in the upper lot at Alpental just after 9:30 a.m. yesterday. I quickly threw on my gear and hit the Armstrong [...]]]></description>
