Oh! October
Just last week we were walking through the beer aisle at our local QFC, cruising for those cute little Full Sail "Session" bottles when our heart skipped a beat. Could it be? Oh sweet Bacchus, that's a six-pack of Snow Cap! We cradled it in our arms and cried silent sweet tears of joy while the woman next to us with the two kids dragged her wee ones by their arms past us, staring. Someday children, you too will know the tender October rejoice of the return of Snow Cap.
Like rats in an undergraduate Psychology experiment on classical conditioning, our next thoughts immediately turn to the snow season just around the corner. But then we pause, bitter with our learned helplessness from last year. Will we be scorned again? Our Big-S pass is extended, but should we also get a 5-day Whistler Edge pass that we somehow psychically avoided getting last year? Maybe just the 1-day Edge pass, we reason with ourself. Seattlest is no fool. Occasionally.
But lookit that snow, already dusting the mighty Whistler peaks...oh, the agony.
You may also be wondering whether to purchase an advance pass of any flavor from your favorite Northwest resort. We can't answer that question for you. Even NOAA has no, uh, idea. We recommend you buy some tickets to one of the two (two!) Get Snowed In parties at Pyramid (expect some Seattlest-ites at the KEXP New Pornographers show), and tip a few Caps back in the name of Fate.
