It was certainly not my vote, but the family has yet to embrace high speed "solid" groomers. Red chair with a nearby car\cooler stocked with beers may ease the pain of the lines.

Was up in Oregon last week. Got some turns at Crater Lake. Trip report is posted on earn your turns/backcountry talk forum
if your interested.
Serious death crust up there.
Anyone been to Shasta lately? Thinking of heading up there to bring in the new year.
Hoping there is no crust. Wondering if things are corning up.

Good game plan puma. Skiya next trip.

I had to abort mission today after seeing your photo. Attempt again tomorrow... hopefully less people there.

shitshow on timberline road

[wyeaster]

fortunately we took the mt hood express which let us pass most of it by. except for the dumbshit in his jacked up pickup who spun out and ended up in the drift on the wrong side and/or direction with 3 other cars pointed in differing directions right there with him.

[wyeaster]

also saw a few people taking sled transportation down the hill and heard from an alpental/crystal regular that somebody broke an ankle or something skiing down from the summit.

that was rigjht before i offloaded on a totally fucked up, deeply rutted ramp with an old host standing right in the middle of it leaving me nowhere to go so i bailed out so i didnt hit him and then he just stood there staring at me.

I have been up to Shasta, but driving by it last week had it looking, erm... thin.

Gross. Spent two days in Bend, no skiing. That picture reaffirms the choice to sleep in and avoid the holiday horde.

It’s of note the staggering amount of California plates on the road up Bend earlier this week and around town. If Tahoe continues its snow drought, expect more CA plates in central Oregon.

Yep just like 2 & 3 years ago. Even ski teams from Washington & idaho came to Bachelor.

Two years ago, we had that epic pre-Christmas week where it dumped nearly every night and refreshed. F me, that week was all time. And no one around.

[irratator]

Theres always lots of Ca and Wa vehs at Bach during Holidays and Spring Breaks: part of the 'destination resort' thing i guess.

2015-2016 WV lodge

[mattig]

Here's a good place for snowfall memberberries: https://www.onthesnow.com/oregon/mt-...l.html?&y=2015

[jonesy]

Could b matt. Alhemizer u know. Thanks for the link. Free coffee & a cookie from julie at the sunrise lodge. :-)

[snojones]

any decrease in crowds yet?

[jonesy]

Bachelor was better on crowds till noon. Then the Family Fun Zone rolled in. Coverage is decent and sharp edges a must.

40 at the hill first thing in the morning — is it officially junuary?

[SchralphMacchio]

Anyone think Hoodoo will cancel their BC festival this weekend? Forecast I read from NWS called for rain above pass levels ...

[jonesy]

Its snowing @ bachelor 130pm monday.

I suspect it'll go on, but without the actual skiing component. Just a big party, with some new gear on display in tents. lol

[SchralphMacchio]

Hah, let’s see that webcam after Thursday’s jet of atmospheric river drops 1” of water above the Pass.

I don’t really need gear, I just wanna meet folks down in my part of the valley who split and dynafiddle and don’t mind futzing around with SWAG. I’m not sure my wife will be stoked about camping in a washed out parking lot if there won’t be actual turns involved.

Anyone here gone in past years? Good fun?

[Tap]

It’s fun. Have gone with COAA. Lots of skis to try, not as many splits, a good amount of Mountain Culture to enjoy.
