Filmed at Stevens Pass, WA on February 23rd and 24th 2013.
Videography: Daniel Silverberg, Joey Mara
Rider: Joey Mara
The nights of December 6/7th 2012 70+ inches of snow deposited at Stevens Pass in Washington. Nearly 5 feet overnight Friday at the summit. To say we entered the “white room” would be an understatement. This was, THE WHITE HOUSE!! Filmed with GoPro Hero 2 and 3.
PNW cement.
ya cement sprays up and over your head when you slash your line…. stay away from the PNW terrible place to ski or board.
yep. nothing but rain here, everyone go away and ski summit and the wasatch.
lamee
whats lame is you using my name and making lame comments…
Sick day, 70in rode like 7
Stevens is f*ckin sick! I’m not sure how people can hate on it or the PNW snow in general. I was there in mid December and and it was dumping and cold. When we showed up they already had like 200 inches or so on the year. And why would you want really dry pow? I like a little bit of moisture in there for bouncing off boulders and getting a grip on the steeps. Saw Gigi in the parking lot that day, they seemed to be having a good time!
Cause they’re fuckin gaper coloradoans that have never skied anything but summit county.
When will the GoPro videos stop? I’m tired of looking at ski and snowboard tips. I was at Stevens that day, too, though. It definitely wasn’t cement.
agreed…and how many dumb shots of a guy ski with pole/camera in front looking back at his face…lame…
How hard is it to ski down a mellow slope that has 40 feet of pillows to bottom out? In Colorado you couldn’t always just huck yourself or drop pillows because there are A) 2-3,000 more feet of STEEP vertical left and B) terrain that was steep enough to avalanche.
I get the vibe that these PNW videos are 3 second shots of pillow lines with a shitload of mellow terrain edited out. Go ski the steeps and then get back to the internets on technical lines — anyone can jump into a pile of powder.
In Colorado you can’t huck yourself into some powder because there isn’t any to huck into so STFU. I’m sure the snow is much lighter outside of PNW. Has to be much lighter when there is so much less of it. And sick steep lines? Ya for mountain biking. I’ll be here all week.
Word is that Joey Mara is always takin’ it deep
You can call your self cold smoke films in Washington! That snow is so heavy. Come out to Montana and find some real cold smoke
May of snowed 5 feet overnight but it sure wasn’t neck deep.
Love Stevens! Already sitting on 400″. Good people, good vibe.
Haters gonna hate. PNW is BY FAR the best place I’ve rode. Lived in CO, CA, OR, WA, BC, and South America.
Fo sho. Lived more than a decade in Colorado. Measly snowpack, groomer gapers. Pnw blows it awAy. F’ing posers don’t know.
looks fkn awesome to me. Tahoe hasn’t seen a big storm in too many weeks. haters gonna hate. i would hate too if i was a dishwasher or worked like a monkey in the city
Better than colorado.
It’s just supposed to be a fun video. Not that serious. The riding out here in Washington is not very good so I would stick to wherever you are from. Anywhere is better than WA.
fuck the pnw, id much rather go to any colorado resort, they got so many awesome apres skis, no traffic on the highway and soooooooo much snow!!! plus every line is like a 50 degree technical line, cant be that!!!

Yup,
Wa has tiny flat mountains, the snow sucks, there are never avalanches. You never have to worry about cornices, tree wells or cravases, and the night life in Seattle sucks compared to the great multi-cultural life in Denver, and the seafood sucks too.
Everyone who’s been to WA and lives there knows this, no reason to go there, stay far far away.
