Thread: 11/12 Mt. Hood

Tried white river early with SE mag. No love there. Soft crust, wind scour, warm, etc. was not pleasant. 1 and out.
Rallied to mhm and skied till 4. Was able to find some deep lines over in ewok land.

shitty!

what time did you skin up?

I think we got started around 8:30-8:45, and were back to the car by 11.

nice having some folks put up interesting mt. hood video on a regular basis. thanks, guys! i feel like i'm creeping closer to the backcountry with each one.

I'll be heading to Skibowl after work tomorrow in Portland. Hoping to be skiing by 5:30 if any other mags want to carpool or meet up on the hill.

mhm bright and early for the snowin and blowin

it kills me to see baker getting pounded over and over in the top 24 hour snowfall. so close and yet so far. me, it, the jet stream, mt. hood....

Just buy her a pair of skis as well...perhaps some pillow fights with the Kip graphics? Gifts don't get much sexier than that!

Just looked at the web cam and there is MAYBE 20 people in line at MHX 15 minutes till open. Lucky bastards. FML

hope they get pr and heather going for the lucky few who are there today

The KIP PFs at the shop have a big cock drawn on them with Sharpie. Is that limited edition or something?

Today was GOOD. That is all.

oh yeah mofo's...finally getting back to pdx

I'll be hitting mdw's tomorrow to remove the sun tan lotion off my LA sun beamed skin...i hate the sun. Love the pow...looks like cement is falling but who gives a phuck, it's mid week storm ridding...right?

9-4, 30 runs, at least 20 laps of 1.5 and 2 bowl, face shots all day.

Really solid night session at skibowl. Plenty of leftovers for late arrivers like me. Ordering clear lenses now.

i had a bad afternoon of skiing of awesome snow. just felt totally out of my 'groove' 75% of the time, random right boot problems and i don't know...just a funk.

sure beat being @ work.

anyone heading up this evening/night? thinking ski bowl over mhm, but will see how snow goes today.

Looking kind of warm in Govy. MHM might be the best best, still flipping the coin on if I'm going to make the drive.

pics are being a pita, hope this works...

longest lines ive seen this year (10 chair wait!), even more rope on outback, and scotties bootpack was like a sidewalk... 
but skibowl delivered!
faceshots were had




new lines were "mostly" filled in



patrol let rumor of possible outback partial opening tonight, hope everyone else gets theirs!

awesome sauces. so fun. snowing hard all night.

here's a picture, but it's not from yesterday, nor from hood.

ON3P will be up at the meadows demo (along with a ton of other companies) if anyone wants to try out some 12/13 ON3P in some pow!

Forecast does look good for Sunday! Do you plan to bring anything mounted tele?

BTW, rode a chair with someone who said he interned for you last year? Said he won the ugliest topsheet award - had weasels or ferrets or something like that???

Right now we don't, but maybe I can make something happen. Any model in particular? I think for now anything we did would be non-ntn just FYI. Any binding preference? We've heard G3, hammerhead, BD, NTN....hard to get a consensus.

and yeah we had an intern who got a pair of jmos with the ferret topsheet on it. He didn't design the topsheet, though.

Thanks Iggy - I was checking out the Jeffrey's and J'mos, both of which look to be good for touring to pow stashes. I run Hammerheads on my rigs, but can probably survive with G3s

- just my opinion, but I'd think big wide skis like yours demand a relatively active binding.

All that said, don't go to a bunch of extra trouble on just my account. I can always bring my alpine boots, although I haven't been in them for about four years
