The gates were opened before 11. It was ridiculous. The meadow was deep! Watch out for the creek running down the middle of the meadow....

PR was open today for sure, as of around 10:30-11:00. belt deep in drifts. Trying to scrape the grin off my face after the best free refills day in a long time up there. So so good and the light breeze kept all the holiday gapers at the bar and out of the bowls after lunch. You know its good when the HRM lift ride feels like the top of Cascade in a storm.
Tomorrow is going to be outrageous. I don't expect they'll open Heather but the upper mountain (hopefully?) and Star will be plenty good enough. Can't wait.L-I-V-I-N. Livin'.

25,916 vertical feet of the best pow of the season today.... I hate those scanners but it was interesting to check how much vertical we got in (even without being scanned each ride)
Today ... It was outfuckingrageous..Over head blower... Fresh all day.. Couldn't get out of the white room.. unnerving to not be able to see all the way down the nipple, while choking on the cold smoke filling your mouth.... What a day!! What a season !! If only it was a Tuesday and not holiday break... But the lines werent that bad, weather kept the masses in the lodge.. Mmmmmmmmmm soooo gooood!!!!!!!!!!Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves

TRAFFIC ALERT: Our parking lots filled by about 10 AM Thursday, and unfortunately without any additional parking available we had to turn away traffic at that time. We expect large crowds Friday and this weekend as well. We suggest traveling early, buddying up in carpools to reduce the amount of vehicles needing to be parked or considering our Park & Ride bus program.

Looks real fun. The more I think about it I would have no problem paying for a cheaper pass with blackout dates.
Ski Bowl was a fucking shitshow last night as well.Training for Alpental

Ridiculous.
Anybody interested in touring on Hood tomorrow? I've got the day off and I'd hate to waste it standing in a lift line.

yeah, vista or not, i have a really hard time enjoying myself in those kinds of lines. it's not worth the 4 hours of driving to get 1 or 2 runs an hour. that's why the next step for me is a splitboard. otherwise, i'll wait for the post holiday weekdays and not feel too badly about missing this week.

Lines about the same @ Bachy with mid-thigh heavy pow. Had an Avy in-bounds yesterday morning shut down the top of Cliffhanger till this AM. I've had enough dickwads for awhile taking the rest of this week off.

Can anyone give me a report from today on RV row? Heading up with my motorhome tonight (just like I do every week) and am a bit nervous about having my spot taken by a bunch of holiday folks that borrowed Daddy's monaco diesel pusher to go skiing in. Hoping they don't actually show up in full force till tomorrow.

Cascade opened for an hour today. Should be good tomorrow morning if they open upper Heather/Clark. I might go up and fight the crowds for 2-3 runs.

well, this is our second set and the ones we got last season may have had holiday blackout dates, but nothing that mattered to me. i was super excited to check out skibowl extensively for a season, but most of the times i drove by there last season on my way to meadows it was bare ground at the bottom.
maybe this year i'll finally get to explore skibowl.
edit: actually, i just called and the only blackout dates were from dec. 25 - jan. 2.

skied absolute blower all day long, lines were shit at HRM and star until 11-12 when people decided the snow wasn't good enough over there. Had a great time over by GW and SR all day. HRM lot was full and there were cars lining the road all the way to 35. I can't wait until break is over.
