OK.
I want to take the family west to ski and see some stuff. I lived in Puget sound 30 years ago so part of the plan would to be a drive by in the old stomping grounds. Make a run over Deception Pass, do the Mukilteo ferry hit the Space Needle...... at least that is the selling point. I want to go skiing. I would love to do Baker again, however the ungroomed might get me in trouble with SWMBO. Best dates I can swing is the first week in Mar. Plan would be arrive, drive to a mountain rental (located one on Stevens that would function and is reasonable) ski 2 days possibly 1st night, pull out next AM head N work the way S doing tourist stuff, end up in SEA at the Hyatt, do dinner in the pin thing, hit the airport next AM. 5 day trip but could extend by a little. IF I can get 2 good days in I will be happy. It will likely be the last "family" vacation as the older one will be a colleg gradutate this spring and the whole life thing will get in the way.
Looking for opinions on Stevens and or possibly Snoqualmie 1st full week in Mar. I was looking at Bachelor, because the snow would be better. Downsides. Flying into Redmond is pushing the cost envelope, and though the kids are older, only one could appreciate Dechutes brewery and I would be the only one who would get a kick out of the Nosler plant.
I have some time but I want to have a plan soon.
