TIMBERLINE LODGE, Ore. – Snow plows are busy as Timberline Lodge and Mount Hood Meadows celebrate the first snowfall of what will become the ski and snowboard season.

Summer is not officially over, but Monday, snow started falling, and by Tuesday morning, Timberline had 8-9 inches of snow.

My buddy rode up at Timberline today. I'm waiting for Thursday or Friday for some visibility to get up higher. Should be really good skiing up near Crater Rock. Will report back!

Well, I hope this is an auspicious sign for a great coming winter.

Let the talk of a persistent, deep, weak layer begin.

"Summer powder skiing in Montana! We got 16-24" of snow, so it seems only right to go make some turns--and what glorious, deep, cold, legit powder turns they were. Are we amped for a great season? You betcha."

and so on and so on.

Start practicing with your beacons ... early snow no bueno

And as predicted, looks like more than I thought there would be:

[GeezerSteve]

Ridging and higher temps on the way. Most of the recent snow in the WA Cascades will melt off this weekend and earlier next week <7,000'. Freezing levels rising to 13,000' by middle of next week.

TEH DEPTH *WHORES!

listening to people talk about September snow like it's the beginning of the new season is possibly valid at Timberline but a joke most anywhere else. Timberlodge, that was funny too.

Yup, the impatient hype happens nearly every year. There's usually a dusting of snow for larch season

Maybe enough for Baker to spin the lifts!

Yabut, preferable to the persistent, brown, dry layer.

day after trick or treating is my 'go to' turn date.

Yup, I remember that as a kid. Week after Halloween is snow time until April. Fun times bombing down hills of pow on the trusty toboggan.

I gotta say though, if I lived at Mammoth, I would have grabbed the rocks skis and given it a go today early season or not.

[babybear]

we have had a few snows up in thar mountains but this is a good amount of snow!
