Pretty sure this should go in the 17/18 thread...

Funny timing!

7 should work for me. I'll pm ya my number.

What time you want to meet in the lot?

Mt Hood - 9,000ft

Touché!

When you thinking about heading up FatKid?

Sounds about right

It's after Labor Day and there will be new snow on the volcanoes or lower by early next week. 2017-18 anyone???

Gonna wait till as late as possible and pay full retail. Gotta keep those lifts running.

If you're game to try... camping up there tomorrow night. Thinking about a 3-4am start. Best skiing should be around noon-1 with the temps.

Thinking of Adams SW chutes Thursday. Anyone interested?

Thanks AC, that was on my list today. You going to make it up? I got that $10... I think we'll be getting on the chair around 12.

I know it's 2pm for a regular lift ticket. Not sure on a climbers ticket, I'll double check that.

Solstice party at Illumination Rock next Tuesday. People typically show up between 3-6 and ski down around sunset. Should be the biggest yet, you are all invited!

Sorry you witnessed that. It can be easy to forget about the potential consequences of a fall there.

Going for Cooper Spur/NE Face tomorrow. I'll be paying my respects on the way up.

More stoke less bitching.

Tuesday's objective...

POV from the top:
...

Mt Hood sure was good yesterday!

Despite very legitimate concerns in the morning, there was great skiing to be...

Always a good way to avoid the potential cold springs shit show. I've been up there many times when CS is packed and there is literally nobody at MC

Forecast has been all over the place the last couple days. Guess that's PNW spring...

Saturday morning about halfway up Super Bowl.

Also, without a sled or SERIOUS road miles Adams won't be in play till at least Memorial weekend or later. Tons of snow and trees down on the road. Last year I drove within 2 miles of Morrison creek...

Did Wyeast face Saturday morning from meadows lot. The top 2,000 ft was surprisingly good! Looking at Wednesday as well. Not sure of the route. Would be an early start... 1-2am. If it looks like it...

Climbing Saturday morning but hoping to be at meadows in the afternoon for some pond skim action and beer, lots of beer.

Didn't end up making it today but looks like a couple more inches tonight. Definitely going tomorrow. Hoping to hit the main lot by 7:30 at the latest. Silver Tundra. Good on ya making it up there...

NWAC telemetry starting to show accumulation. Might try to hit the main lot around 10 for a few laps. Anyone else gonna be up there?

Meadows is closed weekdays. Not ready to make that timberline jump yet...

Indeed I did. You didn't miss anything. 'Twas horrible... [emoji6]

Definitely interested in touring tomorrow. Thinking of some Newton laps around treeline. Looks like it could be deep!

Right on. Hitting Hood up this weekend but looking to put together a multi day base camp at Morrison Creek with ventures above in a couple weeks. Need to get an idea of sno-mo transportation...

Leaving Timberline around 4:21 tomorrow morning heading for the top. FKNA

Have you been up to Adams?

I might be up for Friday fatkid. Hopefully it doesn't get too warm. How early you think you would start?

Zip those pockets up man. Especially if you're going to get inverted!!

Thoughts go out to Steve's family.

I'd be shocked if Batchelor isn't open till Memorial Day.

That's a motivating sight to get you up there regardless of forecast!

More stoke. Less rain and fake bacon.

Skier missing at Meadows. Last sighting was a pass scan around 11am yesterday. Over a foot of new with rain and wind mixed in since then. Here's to hoping for a miracle!

Tuesday. First turn of the day!

Can confirm major dumpage currently at Mt Hood Meadows. Lots of control work going on... first row!

Should be up early in the AM at MHM main lot tomorrow. Anybody else?

Don't do it in the park!

Love this exit run after a couple runs on the other side of Newton.

Someone asked about Mt Bailey Cat Skiing earlier in the thread. Here's a good representation of the types of runs they have. This is from a couple years ago. RIP OZ.

One more.

A portion of one of my favorite lines anywhere...

One of the best zones around Hood when the snow level is low enough...
