Pucci was a blast yesterday afternoon. My first day on the lower mountain this fall and it felt good. Woods are kinda like a puzzle but there were some big fluffy spots in there so worth it. Skied across the lower lot to my car. Also bought the new Bootsy Collins album this weekend and it exceeded my expectations.

good day all around!

likewise! I'm skipping the meadows pass this year and going exclusively human-powered. Which usually means more time at tline.

maybe i'll get the rest of the equipment to be human powered this year, too. that is the next step in the multi-year evolutionary plan. have a great and safe season.

Just peeped at the Palmer cam and it looks dreamy right now. FatKid I hope you went up today.
Wyeaster do you have a TLine or Fusion pass? We should meet up and shred sometime this season.
Timberline says 7 day/week operations starting Saturday!

[wyeaster]

timberline and i will likely go once solo during the week (short and sweet 9-1 back in pdx by 3ish to take care of the boy) and saturdays with the family. i haven't figured out my weekday yet.

let's do it!!

After 7 laps I started consistently finding rocks. Back in PDX by 10:45am.

Thanks man, same to you! Let me know when you are headed up midweek-solo-style... I've been known to ride inbounds too

Had a great day up at Hoodoo yesterday. I was not the only one enjoying the windless sun and the freshies. Good snow! I skied half way down Face with good coverage. Didn't go farther since I was worried about getting stranded in the Manzanita mazes down lower. There was at least 2 feet on most of the hill. No rocks. Only problem...no lifts to ride... soon.

oh my god so gorgeous. what time did you leave pdx? start skinning?

[FatKidFromFL]

oh my god so gorgeous. what time did you leave pdx? start skinning?

Left PDX at 5:30ish, Started skinning at 7:15. Pulled-out of Tline-parking-spot and called wifey at 9:45. Work 2-6pm. Passed-out on couch in front of fire at 7:30pm

I'm looking forward to more precip! I was surprised that the coverage was deeper with the last storm (mid-october) than this one. The quality, though, was real nice yesterday. Orographic chunky-flakes instead of blown-around spikes and needles. Boot-top on the lee-side.

If anyone is reading this and has any interest in exploring Silver-Star/Larch Mtn (WA) area, hit me up. Obviously we need more snow, but when it comes, I want to be ready. I prefer to not go-it alone.

Thanks for the pics FatKid. Beautiful. Timberline website now says they plan to open this Friday. Looks like we might get a refresher and will at least have Pucci going again on Friday.

Frick. Just moved to NM after living in Orygun for 30 years. Of course this year is a stellar early season.

From Mark Nelson. Best weather guy in Pdx:

There is one big bit of good news though…this wet pattern for the lowlands will turn into a heavy snow in the Cascades. Snow levels through Sunday generally remain above the passes, with a good foot or more accumulating at the ski resorts above 5,000′. Then we get a HUGE dumping Monday through Friday next week. ECMWF shows a solid 3-4 feet snow at/above pass elevations:

Even if we get half of that, there’s a good chance we’ll have some decent skiing starting up the weekend before Thanksgiving. If so, that’ll be fantastic to get the ski season started in mid-November!

First turns in pow for the opener. Exceptional. Oh and Rhonda Shelby is the top Meteorologist in PDX.

[mattig]

Windy.com (you can pull up the same underlying info meteorologists are looking at). There's a "new snow" feature. The 10 day view isn't the most reliable but damn...

Perhaps you are right, in truth, I do not watch tv live much, and never the local news. I go with Mark because I enjoy his blog. He's fairly active, and in my opinion, accuracy is good:

I also am a member of a few facebook weather groups that he gets involved in. I enjoy his honesty, transparency, ability to give laymens terms, but to also dive deep into thinking\explanation for the weather nerds. (Which I aspire to be!)

Agreed on your first point, and weatherperson's aside...powder is what matters!!!
