Anyone know what they were filming at the old lodge? Looked like Hollywood Majic in action.
Hope you all got some great turns in. Sunshine and turns on Saturday and Sunday were just what the good doctor ordered.

Boo Yeah!
Looks great you guys!
Given that I'm new to PNW and there aren't too many dry weekends left in 2017, I left my rock skis and my rock splitboard in the wood shed and shredded on knobby tires in Oakridge instead. Anyone else in here get after the brown pow in Alsea, Oakridge, or Whypass? I'm lookin for riding partners for this coming weekend ... have shuttle car and will drive!_______________________________________________

Oakridge is in great shape right now. I haven't even scratched the surface of the riding out there, but the little I've ridden combines Santa Cruz style sustained steep descents with moderate chunk and shale not found in the coastal hills of Alsea and Whypass. When the dirt is moist and the rocks are dry at Oakridge it makes for pretty magical descents. I will say that all the well known trails are accessed from pretty punishing climbs (hence the two shuttle companies plus multitude of people self-shuttling out there). It seems like there isn't a whole lot of riding in Oakridge that has more moderate or mellow sustained climbs more appropriate to my 1x setup and out of shape legs (which are totally fine climbing Alsea and Whypass) ... but like I said I'm still exploring.

s'up all. Long time no see. Also still fishing, but came out of hiding to share the following:
Recent update to long range forecast very much in our favor. This looked like crap a few months ago (hotter and drier). Now looks promising: (colder than average, and as wet as average) http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/product...nal.php?lead=2

you almost got me
looking at the MHM 5000' mark, it still looks like tasty accumulations
...until you see the wind predictions
...and the immediate warmup/rain event saturday night/sunday morning
this is more of "the turn" for us in this zone
good to see snow showing up up high!

Looks like it should lower a bit before it stops. Maybe down to 7,500 or so. Hoping to get up Monday if conditions allow

Quick split mission yday morning at Sunrise. Didn’t turn to mashed potatoes till I got to the top of Avalanche. Fun enough.
Plus I mounted my split bindings with the straps to the inside.
First days are funnyLet me lock in the system at Warp 2
Push it on into systematic overdrive
You know what to do

HRM chair to open at 8:30 to get more people parking away from the main lot that don't need equipment or lessons. It may turn into a clusterfuck on a powder day.
