For the first time in weeks, I can see Smith Rock and Jefferson from my deck. Hope this clearing continues.

Smooth sailing, almost no traffic.

Yep, I've been watching that. We'll see how it looks tomorrow morning.

^^^ Jebus.

I'm heading over Santiam tomorrow morning; am I making a big mistake?

It's clearing up right now (thurs eve); I can see Jefferson for the first time in weeks, and Smith Rock is clear. You should find clear hiking, but you may have to avoid the Cascades to find it.

So far just a few areas:

Probably a stoner car accident.

The only real route Eastbound out of Prineville is now closed. Yikes.

Wow... Condolences to all.

^^^ The line sped up considerably, once they started issuing paper tickets instead of e-passes. Sorry.

^^^ Strong work. It took me an hour to get tickets (wtf, Bachy, very shitty planning). Velcro snow kicked in around 11, called it a day, while my insane friend skied until last chair up Summit. ...

No gorilla suit; look for a lime green Hawaiian shirt. I may be on alpine gear too...

So who's hitting Bachy for closing day Sunday?

I expect a full report on my desk by noon.

How is Bachy today?

Taking a ride instead; have fun!

Good fun, solid peeps, great day. My legs are toast.

Heading to the lift in 10.

I'm trying to get my wife moving. FML.

Wife won't leave the house until 9, so I'll see you on the hill, or at
noon for lunch. Any last requests, hit me by 9am and I'll pick shit up.

It's surprisingly breezy... except the latex mask.

I'll be there at some point. I should be easy to spot.

Yep. If roads are clear, I'll RV ; if not, no way.

We might camp; probably won't decide until Friday.

Debating bringing the RV, but either way myself + wife + pooch should be there. Unless it rains, then fuck it.

Re: Bachy mini-summit: I have a friend with a couple free passes and 6 $54 passes. If anyone needs a hookup, let me know a few days prior, and I'll see what's still available.

Perfect.

^^^ Anyone know if Bachy allows free-standing fire pits for RV guests?

Heading up to Bachy tomorrow with the wife. Look for two tele-freaks.

Thinking of RVing the weekend; tentative at this point. Me, wife, and dog, plus awning, grill, lots of chairs, etc. tbd.

How bad are the spring break crowds? I might be in on Sat or Sun.

Word is there were two cars involved, an Expedition and a white passenger van. No further details yet.

Anyone at Bachy today? Report?

Just saw this on FB:

This rocks! It came in this morning's season pass holder email. W00t! TY Mt Bachelor

"Looking ahead to April, we've historically switched to shorter operating hours...

One must roll with style.

^^^ I'll be there. Look for the pink gorilla in a Hawaiian spongebob shirt.

Hoodoo tomorrow anyone?

^^^ yikes!!!

Joined the FB group; looks like tomorrow should be good.

Anybody make it to Bachy today?

Well that clears things up.

So how were the crowds at Bachy today? Considering going up tomorrow...

Hoodoo on Thursday? Feeling antsy...

Good to know; heading up tomorrow for groomer zoomers in the sun. Look for an old dude tele-ing on rising-sun Goliaths.

How was Bachy? Worth a drive up tomorrow?

Bachy did not suck today, not one bit. Lapped the cirque all day, high-speed GS turns on a foot of freshness, like surfing on air.
