2016-2017 ORYGUN - Annual Pow, Beer, and Duct Tape Thread

**puma** · 10-31-2016, 01:04 PM

Glad to hear traffic routing plans are well thought out.

Not exactly a flexible ticket for weekend warriors, and the early season is not a lock by any means...but good deal on tickets:

**puma** · 11-08-2016, 01:06 PM

I am just to excited to not post in fear of a jinx...Looks like the models are starting to pickup on a potential change to the pattern...I like it, and hope it continues down this path of change!!!!

Since this got bumped. Am I the only fuckwit stupid enough to think that going to Ski Fever would be worth it in some way? What a piece of shit that thing is.

**puma** · 11-08-2016, 02:34 PM

I have not been in years. I agree, it's not good.

**puma** · 11-08-2016, 02:52 PM

Something I get every year about this time...

Models continue to look favorable. Cautiously optimistic. (My cautious optimism recently has not turned out...so take it with a grain of salt...)

Just applied to a grad program at Oregon State in Corvallis. Pretty stoked!

Awesome. Best of luck on your application. At the risk of sounding incredibly old...which I guess I am...my daughter will be headed there in the Spring!

**Norseman** · 11-11-2016, 09:49 AM

From Corvallis... Meadows, Hoodoo, or Willamette?

**TBS** · 11-11-2016, 09:55 AM

Hoodoo is closest, but snow is inconsistent. Better to drive the extra hour to Bachey

**wyeaster** · 11-11-2016, 10:18 AM

drive to bachelor, hit hoodoo when appropriate

**puma** · 11-11-2016, 12:58 PM

I am getting the families passes today. One step closer to making turns!!!! love it.

I do not have a clue, and am guessing there is not one. You could stop at the outlet stores in Troutdale as you leave Portland headed to Hood River. Not the best outlets...but...if that's your thing, could work!

Colder weather is moving in for sure. A really cold cell passed over my office this morning, probably dropping some snow in the Cascades now. Don't think it will be enough for lifts to turn this weekend but I'll be keeping an eye out. I went ahead and made plans to wine taste this Saturday in spite of the snow in the forecast. Maybe that will be enough to get Pucci going.
