Crystal Mountain, Washington, like much of the West, has been getting pounded. Base totals are already surpassing those of most of last season. The pow train is lined up in the Pacific. Storm after storm is pounding the Cascades with surprisingly-light, fluffy powder. One of our contributing photographers, Erik Seo headed back to the homeland for some of the best early-season pow on record. Check out the goods… you’ll wish you could call in sick today!






Growing up in Seattle, Jason quickly developed a love for the outdoors and a thing for mountains. That infatuation continued as he founded
FeedTheHabit.com in 1999 and continues to grow the site from his home base in Utah--sharing his love of
mountain biking,
trail running and
backcountry skiing with the world. That passion is channeled into every article or
gear review he writes. Jason is also co-founder of the new
GEAR.com.
