Starlink internet service begins public beta in the Methow Valley

That's a bummer, pasayten. I know it's frustrating if you don't already have great connectivity.

I don't know how far apart they're keeping service addresses, but I'd say just keep trying back when you think of it, to see if they've opened it up anymore.

As of yesterday, Starlink has now made a more open offer of beta service availability (without the signup and waitlist).

To check availability for your location, visit Starlink.com and re-enter your email and service address. If available, you will be immediately redirected to the Starlink order page.

Availability is limited so orders must be completed within 15 minutes of landing on the order page. If you are not able to order at this time, the Starlink team will continue to send updates as more capacity becomes available.

JIMMYB got to it first. I didn't mention the concrete pavers, which you should have on to provide enough weight to keep wind from blowing the dish off.

My roof is very steeply pitched, so I ended up zip-tying the pavers to the mount itself, just to be very sure that there was no way they'd get knocked around by wind gusts and flipped out of the mount.

eeholmes, I think you'll be fine with the Starlink ridgeline mount. I have it too.

There's a rubber mat that goes underneath to protect your roof. Then the ridge mount "leaves" themselves are adjustable, so they can conform to whatever angle your roof is at. There's a locking mechanism so that you can then lock the angle in, which helps secure it further. The roof mount can adjust from a flat roof, to a very steep pitched roof.

The mount at the ridgeline should be just fine despite the snow. Being at the top of the roof, no snow or ice should hit it on the way down. Just make sure there's no roof higher up that might shed anything.

The primary issue that you will have to make sure of is that the cable is not grabbed or hit by snow or ice. I would run the cable along the very top of the roof, and then bring it down into your house on a gable end, so there's no chance it could get jerked or pulled by snow/ice.
