It takes me about an hour to hour and 15 min. to get to Snoqualmie on a normal day. But if it's dumping snow it takes an hour and a half.

I'm a five minute walk to Snow King, and about a 20 min drive to the village. (JHMR)
I stayed at Snow King a few years ago. But it was the middle of September, so there was no snow.
My name doesn't mean I ski a lot. It means that I'm big, and I'm a skier.

Five minute drive to the base of my local "skin track" but the Lift Serviced areas are: 45 minutes to Snow King, about an hour to JH and an hour and twenty minutes to Pine Creek. I mostly ski at JH since I have a "Lifetime Pass"......

PS Locals, I skied today, Tue. 1/29/08. Top of Sublette was brutal! Wind Chill was a zillion below but Hoppy's Hollow to Broadway and down to Triangle Trees was UNTRACKED at 11 AM. Awesome skiing.

I'm up on the hill and the road outside my door meets up with Keechelus. I can ride down to my cabin off of creek run, but I like to ride the powerlines down to the road....

It depends on where I'm starting from. If from my house in Centennial (Denver) it's about 40 minutes to Echo, then Loveland's about an hour, and anywhere else can be from 1:15 to 2:00 depending on traffic. If it's from my condo in Dillon, Keystone's only 10 minutes away or 15 on the Summit Stage!!

Theres a place for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes.
"You could say that a mountain is alot like a woman, once you think you know every inch of her and you're about to dip your skis into some soft, deep powder...Bam, you've got two broken legs, cracked ribs and you pay your $20 just to let her punch your lift ticket all over again"

Let's see, I have at least 2 steps to make it to the run w/o any major obstacles so make that within 5 ft.
If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x, y is play and z is keeping your mouth shut.
