It has always been my understanding that Since Meadows and T-line are in different counties, that is the reason whythey adhere to different out of bounds policies. I could be wrong.

Mark your calendars, opening day is slated for Saturday, December 2nd. We expect to see multiple feet of snow accumulate over the next couple of days and into Sunday morning, along with strong winds, ice, and limited visibility. Our goal is to open Little Pine and Sunrise lifts but we may have delays due to the storm in progress.

Lame of them to close off uphill access until then though

Disagree. You're basically only missing Friday and that's not even going to be when it really gets covered. Let the Bachy team do their work for a day without worrying about irrational powderhounds.

Go go central Oregonians!



Which lift will break down

Looks like some nice warm base building snow. Will see how much actually falls. I remember a forecast of 1-2’ a couple of weeks ago - 3” actually fell.

Marshmallow with 20” of new wet snow will be a riot…Hoodoo Hot Pow without the Hoodoo pitch…

Wishful thinking on P0wDr Corp. Next week sounds reasonable, big if.

^^^ Maybe Sunday

If that forecast holds, it’s gonna be a fun first day for lift ops.

Snowing out my WFH office window as I contemplate a day stuck in meetings.

[Sessiøn]

I Meadows going to pull the trigger? Damn I could use a day before 2 weeks in Denmark.

[lowsparkco]

Hoping the traffic won’t be too terrible for just Little Pine and Sunrise.

[boar2m]

Sprained my lower-back while trying to keep up with a hot athletic woman running up and down Mt. defiance last Friday… slipped on icy rock and now I can’t even bend slightly and it hurts to walk. I hope Meadows can open this coming Friday for y’all but I’m fine if it doesn’t.

Yeah, I know, no one cares and take it to gimp central ;-)

Snowing since ~0400 at La Ponderita as well. Had my nose glued to the window most of the morning, breaking in my newly molded intuition liners.

Looks like we've a season kick off. Backseat straight liners on Marshmallow ftw.

[Sessiøn]

Holy shit, Meadows finally did a snow stake.

Every soccer mom and wanna be bro brah skier dad will be on Century Drive tomorrow. Some will be going up for the thrill on the hill of first day of the season. Some will be up there to not ski but hit the Nordic Center. Yet others will be up there to ski low angle groomers. Some will have adequate winter tires. Others will not. You will be able to tell what's what by how many end up in the ditch or stuck on the side of the road trying to put chains on past the chain up areas.

I might go up to do some non-lift served cardio on a conical volcanic landmark that no one really cares if you summit it or not.

About a year ago there was some talk that Meadows was looking to change their boundary policy. Looks like not happening this year. Hopefully in the future.

It's always been there. The NOAA site. They just stuck a camera on it

Any lift maze that merges opposite sides will always be a clusterfuck, unless it has a host at all times

[Toadman]

A bit windy over on the NW side of Bachelor - wind gauge clocked a 101mph fastball.

[TBS]

Yup, and cold too. 148*F below zero at top of summit…
