Skiing Seattle - Mountain to Sound
Loading...
Uploaded by amnesiakdotcom on Jan 18, 2012
On January 18th, 2012, West Seattle got 4-5 inches of snow, enough to go from Seattle's highest point (520' Gatewood Hill) to it's low point (Puget Sound at Lowman Beach). I call it 'Urban Backcountry.'
This is something I've wanted to do for years, and my new house and the right snowfall presented itself. I am a longtime West Seattle resident and I proudly wear the 'WEST SEATTLE' shirt you see in the video.

We moved to Montreal in September from a house at the top of Tillicum Rd SW. What a sweet little reminder of ... last year.
Even though it's as hilly as Seattle Montreal has serious snow management chops. Here it would be possible to ski down from Mount Royal to our place if the small army of snow removers and salters didn't clear things up so fast.

wouldn't have minded seeing you cross calif and fauntleroy. you could do that in fast frame slipping the skis on and off. but fun to watch regardless :)

@dewndsurf Sorry that I edited that out - I actually didn't take the skis off, I just poled across. Fauntleroy was better than california but there was totally enough snow on each and zero traffic.

What kind of skis are those? Mine broke (literally) and I am in the market for new ones.

Wow. I really wasn't expecting the main character to drown at the end! ;-)
But seriously, this is cool - how long did the trip actually take?

@xmltrainer the downhill part was a little bit less than six minutes - i edited out a couple of flatter parts.Total trip was about an hour but that included stops for fiddling with the camera.
