It's beyond FOMO. It's RTMF - Resigned to my fate. I hope all out there getting after it have a great powder day. Probably hard not to unless you really tried.

I'm guessing they're going to run Summit at bachelor tomorrow for the first time since this storm cycle started. Anyone going to make it up there? I can't make it until the afternoon, leave some for me

Hello PNW Mags! We’re taking a lap through your zone. Not much skiing I’m afraid as family adulting duty calls…

Mrs. single, myself, and our Kid are looking for some driveway camping for a college tour week in the PNW. A flat spot to park our F250/Lance camper rig would be appreciated, an extension cord is a bonus, and bathroom privileges a luxury.

The Kid flies into Seattle, we’re picking them up, and then looping around in our camper to check out U of Puget Sound, Evergreen, Willamette, Lewis and Clark, Reed, and Whitman…

Seattle area 3/9, Tacoma 3/10, Olympia 3/11, Salem 3/12, Portland 3/13-14, Walla Walla 3/15, Spokane 3/16-17.

Can offer up a jug of New England maple syrup and good karma for a place to park for the night.

Thanks for considering it and feel free to PM if you got a spot or any leads/ info.

Opened. While not an ideal line, hope you all got some epic turns. Looks sweet.

haha, seems about right

**boar2m** · 03-06-2024, 02:39 PM

My damaged sciatica nerves that I’ve been ignoring for the past couple months finally caught up to me and the day I take off to rest the upper canyon pops …and I’ve been biding my time all during this storm cycle.

You’re welcome. Happy you like them. Most of Mt Brokenchair isnt steep enough for Billygoats. And for me F<1.6E in that cut up shit.

**dan_pdx** · 03-06-2024, 03:55 PM

Thanks to the Summit webcam, I realized there was no point heading up to bachelor this afternoon. I'm going to try to sneak up tomorrow morning to ride some crispy groomers. If you see a kook on an alpine snowboard, ask for change.

**TBS** · 03-06-2024, 03:57 PM

^^^I’ll be there in AM. Look for the handsome guy in post 820. No idea of outerwear tomorrow, likely riding wrenegade 88s.

True, but the fun:effort ratio isn’t there for me by the time you beat thru the chunder to find the pockets, then loop around the mountain and MAYBE NWX is actually working.

But as we’ve previously agreed, I’m spoiled…

. Albeit, apparently flat terrain.

I'm jealous. It's raining outside my window right now.

pow tips ftw

**boar2m** · 03-06-2024, 06:16 PM

^^ What Bachelor lacks in puckered drops and steeps and bro bra I shat my pants cliffs and don’t fall and you die traverses, it has that natural flowy terrain and long ass glades and nicely spaced trees that is ton of fun… and I can generate as much speed as I can handle off that summit terrain. Flat my ass, yeah my ass is flat but I’ll say that is a perfect pitch.
