The NWAC report regarding the Apr 5th fatality @ MHM is up. Interesting to read the details, highlights the difficulty in locating someone even when they are very close to an area that gets a decent...

Yeah it was pretty damn good out there today.

I love fruitbooting but no way in hell would I want a skate as stiff as my ski boots. That braking system looks, uh... interesting. Jerry braking system aside, downhilling on blades isn't for the...

What they said on OPB this morning was it’s the first time in 82 years of recorded history that there was measurable snow at pdx this late in the year, so likely it was even longer than 82 yrs ago. ...

Without knowing more about the specific location we can’t be sure if he was in an area closed on Tuesday. It’s possible to end up in the creek without going into Clark canyon. I’d be interested to...

They’re all powder skis if you ski ‘em in powder.

Looking at the NWAC telemetry data, it's less windy at Tline today.

I was goofing for sure, I love ski bowl. I primarily ski at MHM but only because I'm able to ski mid-week. If I was having to ski weekends I would spend a lot more time at Skibowl.

Lol, imagine watching the Olympics and having your ethical hangup being what a couple of teenage girls do.

What are the chances she's just trying to keep her family from mysteriously ending up dead?

Is it at skibowl?

This was my introduction to Paak. So much groove you could cut it with a knife.

Should be excellent, started out a bit touch and go this morning but the skiing was pretty great from 11am on.

If you're not getting a medal, face shots on the GS course is a pretty good consolation prize.

Maybe less of them would be skiing out of the course if they got on some Renegades!

Gotos fer sure

I’m not attempting any whataboutism or trivialization. Just offering my perspective, giving a teenager the benefit of the doubt and not assuming the worst. I know this square isn’t on your...

She’s 18, if this is the worst thing she does at that age she’s a better person than me. Not to mention she’s probably being handled by an advisor (or team of them) who’s sole job is to keep her from...

It’s only maddening if you somehow expected the ioc to be transparent. If you had those expectations, you might ask yourself why, there’s nearly zero precedent for it.

The slope percentage is the calculation of rise/run * 100. When the slope is 45 deg the rise and run are equal.

I picked up a used Yamaha THR5 a 1.5 yrs ago in the $100ish range and I think it's pretty damn great. It's a far cry from the modeling amps I tried 20yrs ago. My days of playing in bands are...

They may as well install my headstone if I ever crash and burn like that. RIP

Winter is back at mhm. Plenty of soft turns to be found.

Has anyone made a change.org petition yet?

What, that isn’t how he lost. He was behind going into final jeopardy and missed the question. Regardless, the person who was in the lead answered the final jeopardy question correctly.

On an unrelated note, what kind of wood are the sides of that acoustic guitar made from? Looks wild, or is the sun hitting it?

As far as they’re concerned it is sorted.

Ah, I thought you’d mentioned a Philips tube amp, not the first time I’ve been confused. Nevertheless, $250 for “the devil you know” doesn’t seem bad.

I’d fix the Philips, but I have a soft spot for tubes.

Should be a real busy weekend for the patrollers and Providence Clinic. Conditions will likely be pretty sporty in a lot of the high traffic areas off MHX/SSX.

Exactly. I can't imagine how angry I'd be anytime i was around the public if I let clueless people get me riled up.

Conditions at mhm improved dramatically as the day progressed. Shortly before 330 they got HRM spinning and the couple laps I got in there did not disappoint.

If you love skiing breakable crust MHM has an unlimited supply.

But if I have 4wd/awd I should be good to go with 1/16” of tread on my all seasons right?

MHM website now says "Highway 26 has reopened - We will resume normal 9a-9p operations on Wednesday"

This is it, I highly doubt Alterra cares about the complaints they receive as long as the money keeps pouring in. Absent the forest service intervening or pass sales taking a shit, you can likely...

White out conditions + idiots without proper tires/traction. Once you get on 35 all it takes is one or two mental defectives to ruin the party for everyone. Also, I saw the initial reports of 7"...

Yesterday was that day at MHM. Lil baby jeebus came through big time.

Hwy 35 was a disaster, pulled the plug and turned around about 9am.

MHM is going to have Shooting Star running today. Sahale pass includes 2 free passes/5 discounted passes each season.

You could get your digital source playing through your system pretty easily and affordably. For example, if you wanted to stream through your iPhone, you could use the aux input with a...

Unless the rare situation occurs where there is no returning champion, there will be the same number of new contestants each week regardless of how long any 1 individual is champion. Every episode...

Gotcha, lots of folks approach their stereo setup under the impression that vinyl is automatically a superior medium, so I wanted to throw in my 2cents in case that was your perspective. I...

If you don't already have a vinyl collection you might consider holding off on the turntable for now and putting the money towards other components in your setup. I enjoy my vinyl setup quite a bit,...

MHM posted their COVID plans. Looks like they'll be aiming to load the chairs to capacity, thank jeebus....

You didn’t miss much. Not a single dolphin turn anywhere in the ten minutes, seems like he should get some lessons.

The snow is holding up well at MHM. Lots of soft turns in Gold Bowl yesterday. Not sure what went down but there was an ambulance and heli in the late morning.

the snow up high in Heather was great but the visibility was nauseating. I could only stomach a couple laps up there.

It looks like I’ll be coming in around $17/day for my skiing at Mt Hood Meadows this season. I definitely feel like it’s a good value.
