Shit, after a few years of battling I-70, I think I'd even take 26 at this point. But yeah, 35 is pretty much as good as it gets. I miss the NW

Trying to set up my fnal clinical rotation in the dalles. If all works out, I'll be back in hood river from Jan on. My fingers are crossed so hard I don't know if I'll be able to use poles this...

Damn, that's going to be a lot of work to get ready for spring ski camps on palmer. Should be a wicked long summer season though.

It was pretty good up there today. Little heavy and wet back in PR but still some great turns. Don't ski off the cornice at the top of GW, Very thin cover over rocks.

Visibility was too shitty to...

Wow...sounds like the wy east face slid again. The website is saying 50+ foot deep debris pile...

Yeah, I agree with that. I had my 189 squads out today and while they were silly fun on silver bowl/ Clark, they just feel a little too charger for the shorter runs and more technical parts of...

I think that any sort of newer five point shape in a 188 ish length is about as good as it gets for the full range of meadows conditions. When come back, i rarely ever bother bringing anything but my...

Scetchy story that hits close to home, after I almost ate it into one of the yoda creeks in January. I too ski solo back there most of the time since I come back and all my buddies can't make it out...

Boom. Tickets purchased for march 5-13th. Here's to hoping for a typically dumping pnw march!

did they have to put a rod in, or were they able to just plate it?

Fuck US Outdoor. Actually, fuck any shop, bike/ski/whatever where the employees go out of their way to make you feel like you're not cool enough to buy shit from them. You know what's cool dick bags?...

Another dope day of banging high pressure groomers followed by excellent brews at charlies/ full sail. I love this mountain...

Personally, would skip t line and hit ski bowl if you don't want two days at meadows. The only time tline is worth it is summer skiing IMO.

Meadows was fun today. Sun, good temps, some nice corn...

Keeping my fingers crossed that it'll be worth bringing the S7s back.

1st Annual TGR WonderCarpet Ski Ballet Tourney?

Is Yellow considered a secret stash given the recent weeks of no new snow? :D

My backup plan if no snow is to remain drunk on NW micro's for the entirety of my stay. It's a win/win as far as I'm...

Freezing levels look to drop off starting next tuesday. Convienient considering I just bought a ticket back for Wed. ;)

I think it's the combination of more terrain open and better gear that is getting more and more people into it. With more people exploring, you get more people tagging along and thus more people...

holy shit. That is fucking awesome. I've always wanted to do that but don't know shit about climbing or mountaineering. Props, and post some more pics!

Erroneous. My final post was really trying to stamp my muddy boots all over your pristine white slopes while screaming FUCK YO MOUNTAIN!!!!!!! :fm:

Nothing.

I grew up in Hood River, lived in Pdx, now I'm in Denver for PT school. Just managed to luck out and get a month back here before I have to go back to garbage ass front range skiing.

Well, that's it for my meadows season this year unless I make it out this spring. Took one spectacularly abysmal run down HRM with approx 4 turns. Brutal up there today, but I got some pretty wicked...

I'll for sure be up there tomorrow. Green pants, probably a grey jacket and S7s.

Today was dope even if there was a rain crust under the fresh. Still skied fucking awesome though. Got first tracks down JDs and God's Wall. GW was crazy because it was the first time I've skied...

despite being pretty tacky everywhere today, heather had some awesomely smooth corn-like snow. Felt like I was the only person on the mountain too.

To me a slide like that constitutes an "act of god" type of thing. No sense worrying about shit like that. I mean something that big going from pretty much the summit ridge could well engulf cascade...

There's an open meadow in the Elk/Yoda area. When you look at it from up top or as you are skiing it almost looks like there are a series of slight ridges or pillow lines. You want to stay on top of...

No shit! I popped off a pillow into the creek and lost a ski. Took the other one off to help pack my way back up to the first one and sank almost to my armpits. The snow was super blue and wet. It...

Today was super dope. I went up there for a quick two hours and got about 10 epic runs in the bowls/ under the face.

Fifth chair, first tracks in four bowl, shit was creamy as fuck. There...

I was referring more to PR. The gates to Elk/Yoda and PR were both open when I was there. The meadow below Elk/Yoda was deep as shit. Oops, I just outed another secret stash.

Interesting. Even though they opened it today, they won't tomorrow? Not that it matters much to me because I have to fucking pickup my friends at the airport tomorrow at noon :cussing:


(i will...

Holy. Shit.

That was epics. Soooo much snow up there today. Too bad the HRM liftline was like 30min long :(

Yeah, saw that and elected to stay in bed with a good book instead. I don't have any rain gear out here right now and I can't imagine 12" of super heavy, wet snow is that spectacular.

OMG, the sky is falling....all of the 15 people who actually check this tiny corner of a niche forum on the internets are totally going to schralp out one of the most well known "slackcountry" runs...

Go fuck yourself beater. I grew up in Hood and have skied meadows my entire life. This is a thread for people to post stoke about the local hill, not act like a fucking front range cunt.


Edit:...

God the last two days have been really fantastic at meadows. I can't believe how much of PR is still completely untracked. Fresh turns all day long both days, and even where its been hit a couple of...

eeeeeeeexcellent...

Last time I did a demo day, i wound up with a brand new pair of skis. :(

They usually go pretty smooth. You get a sheet of paper where you fill out liability release shit and i think I had to turn...

All from past seasons...buuuut, should get the juices flowing.

2 days then I get back for a month of shredding the hood.

Anyone got any beta on S&R cliffs/ Private Reserve? Open? Conditions? Fucking stoooooked to get back and not deal with a 2hr I-70 trip...
