内容总结：

华盛顿州史蒂文斯山滑雪场因极端天气与道路损毁延迟开放，令众多滑雪爱好者焦虑不已。近日，一位滑雪爱好者兼软件工程师为此创建了一个简洁的状态查询网站，为焦急等待雪场开放的人们提供了一站式信息汇总服务。

开发者马特乌斯·贡萨尔维斯是史蒂文斯山的年卡持有者。他表示，由于雪场周边遭遇洪水、滑坡和道路冲毁等严重影响，开放时间一再推迟，而官方信息分散在不同平台，查询不便。为此，他利用业余时间开发了这个网站，自动抓取华盛顿州交通部的实时道路数据与雪场运营状态，每20分钟更新一次，旨在以客观数据帮助雪友减少信息混乱带来的焦虑。

贡萨尔维斯强调，当地交通部门正全力抢修道路，安全应是当前首要考量。尽管延迟开放在社交媒体上引发了部分游客对雪场退款政策的争议，但他呼吁大家理解天气与基础设施修复的不确定性，并指出雪季开放时间每年本就存在波动。

目前，该网站仍在持续优化中，未来计划增加道路双向状态区分、更清晰的时间戳及气象预报链接等功能。无独有偶，其他滑雪爱好者也开发了类似的信息共享平台，反映出户外运动社群积极互助的氛围。

“冰雪运动是我们的身心健康寄托，”贡萨尔维斯说，“我会尽力珍惜每个雪季。”这位从小在巴西冲浪滑板的开发者，如今正用代码帮助更多人在这个多雪的冬天，更从容地等待山野的召唤。

对于急切刷新社交媒体和其他网站、等待华盛顿州史蒂文斯山口滑雪场最新开放消息的滑雪者和单板爱好者来说，现在有了一个追踪雪场延迟开放的新工具：一位单板滑雪软件工程师创建的简洁状态页面。

拥有25年技术经验的马特乌斯·贡萨尔维斯大约五年前开始接触单板滑雪。自从学会滑雪后，他一直持有史蒂文斯雪场的季卡。和众多冬季运动爱好者一样，他密切关注着该地区从极端降雨和洪灾中恢复的进展。

贡萨尔维斯在Reddit上以@toadgeek的账号发帖称，他创建这个简易网站是为了提供史蒂文斯雪场和美国2号公路的一站式更新信息，因为他厌倦了在多个浏览器标签页之间反复切换查找信息。

"对于我们这些依靠冰雪运动进行体育锻炼、维护冬季心理健康和寻求快乐的人来说，这种不确定性和雪场关闭令人沮丧，"贡萨尔维斯通过电子邮件告诉GeekWire。

他承认，任何对上山滑雪感到焦虑或不耐烦的人都应该记住本月发生的一切。

"该地区遭受了严重的天气影响，包括洪水、山体滑坡和道路冲毁，"贡萨尔维斯说，"华盛顿州交通局的团队一直在努力保障人们的安全并恢复交通。他们现在是最高优先级。"

虽然天气问题也影响了华盛顿州其他滑雪场的开放，但由于2号公路遭受洪灾破坏，史蒂文斯雪场本季度的开放前景显得尤为严峻。

在周三的Instagram帖子中，由韦尔度假村集团运营的史蒂文斯雪场表示，山上"已降下大量积雪"，但"正在应对间歇性停电问题"。雪场补充说，他们对"华盛顿州交通局近期的更新感到鼓舞"。

开放延迟引发了人们对韦尔集团退款政策的争议。在另一篇Instagram帖子中，该雪场指出季卡仍不可退款，因为它们在整个雪季都有效。"我们的Epic保险退款政策不适用于道路或交通问题，"雪场声明道。

贡萨尔维斯强调，除了道路维修和更广泛的天气影响外，"开放日期每年都可能大幅变动，这种时间安排并非前所未有"。

贡萨尔维斯创建这个网站是为了提供基于数据的客观信息而非预测。该网站从华盛顿州交通局公共API获取道路状态，从史蒂文斯山口官方页面获取雪场运营信息，仅将官方社交媒体账号作为次要确认渠道。

他利用业余时间持续改进网站，刻意保持界面简洁，并设置每20分钟刷新的缓存系统。他计划增加一些细节优化，例如区分东西双向道路状态、更清晰的时间戳，以及跳转至各官方信息源的直接链接。还可能添加简易气象站快照和美国国家海洋和大气管理局的天气预报链接。他打算在雪场全面开放后继续维护这个网站。

贡萨尔维斯并非唯一为滑雪社区编写程序的人。Reddit上另一位单板爱好者OtoNoOto推出了名为"史蒂文斯山口伴侣"的网站，提供类似信息，并计划扩展至华盛顿州所有滑雪场的数据。

对于十多年前从巴西移居美国、从小冲浪玩滑板的贡萨尔维斯而言，这个项目关乎如何充分利用转瞬即逝的雪季。

"冰雪运动无可替代，"他说，"岁月不饶人，只要身体条件允许，我就要尽情享受每一个雪季。"

Anxious skiers and snowboarders refreshing social media and other websites for updates on Washington’s Stevens Pass have a new tool to track the resort’s delayed opening: a streamlined status page built by a snowboarding software engineer.
Matheus Gonçalves, a 25-year tech veteran, started snowboarding about five years ago. He’s been a pass holder at Stevens since he learned to ride, and like many winter sports enthusiasts, he’s been watching and waiting as the region recovers from extreme rainfall and flooding.
Posting on Reddit as @toadgeek, Gonçalves said he created his simple website as a one-stop update spot for Stevens and U.S. Highway 2 because he “got tired of playing browser tab whack a mole” while seeking information.
“For those of us who rely on snow sports as a physical activity, winter mental health and happiness outlet, the uncertainty and closures have been frustrating,” Gonçalves told GeekWire via email.
He acknowledged that anyone feeling anxious or impatient about getting to the mountain should remember all that has happened this month.
“The region has dealt with serious weather impacts, including flooding, landslides, and road washouts,” Gonçalves said. “WSDOT crews have been working hard to keep people safe and restore access. They are the highest priority now.”
While the weather dealt a blow to openings at other Washington resorts, the prospects for the season at Stevens have looked especially dire because of flood damage on Highway 2.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Stevens, which is owned by Vail Resorts, said the mountain has “received a good amount of snow” and is “working through intermittent power outages.” The resort added that it’s “encouraged by the recent updates from WSDOT.”
The delay has sparked friction over Vail’s refund policies. In another Instagram post, the resort noted that passes remain non-refundable because they are valid all season. “Our Epic Coverage refund policy does not extend to road or traffic challenges,” the resort stated.
Gonçalves said it’s important to remember that beyond the road repairs and broader weather impacts, “opening dates can swing a lot year to year, and this kind of timing is not unheard of.”
Gonçalves built his website to provide a data-driven answer without predictions. It pulls road status from WSDOT public APIs, pulls resort operations from Stevens Pass official pages, and loosely uses official social accounts only as secondary confirmation.
He’s been iterating after hours, keeping it intentionally simple, with a cache that refreshes every 20 minutes. He plans to add small context improvements like separate eastbound and westbound road status, clearer timestamps, and maybe some direct links back to each official source. He also might add a minimal weather station snapshot and links out to NOAA forecasts. He plans to keep the site up after everything opens.
Gonçalves isn’t alone in coding for the community. Another snowboarder on Reddit, OtoNoOto, highlighted a site called Stevens Pass Companion that shares similar information and plans to expand to data on all Washington resorts.
For Gonçalves, who grew up surfing and skateboarding in Brazil before moving to the U.S. more than a decade ago, the project is about maximizing a fleeting season.
“Snow is unbeatable,” he said. “I’m not getting any younger, so I’m going to make the best of every season I can for as long as my body allows.”
