Air ain't so bad.


Hey... another annoying inquiry here for my skis catching a ride from Gepmeow in Bend to the Seattle area. Anyone making that drive soon? Last time I'll ask (plan A fell through).

Thanks

Carry on

Railing the groomers on Bachelor was just special. Conditions were perfect but the westside is getting boney. Rode some Head tt80s. A traditional look & built ero ski. 176cm/66mm/14.4m tr. Bumps are forming on steeper runs since the cats aren't working there. Nothing on the radar till 12.16. I should just buy that boat the wife wants and call it good.

Even the ten day forecast looks bleak. Slight chance of moisture the 15th and 16th, but even then, it's only looking like a wet fart. C'mon snow!!

Web says Palmer is open. Planning to head up there tomorrow. Maybe try to skin up a little higher to check things out we'll see. Forecast of low wind looks good to me.

Yeah, it's not looking great. My fingers are crossed for the Xmas holiday. This weekend, I look forward to spring like conditions!!!

Stay calm....Xmas is coming

Welcome to the dawn of the Pacific Notwet!

I️ lulzed. Heartily. Well played.

Do I️ go wash the ski rig and hope that helps? Maybe hoarding more gear will help...

[jonesy]

I'm doing my part, buying a boat and replacing an outside deck.

I’m leaving town at Christmas to go find snow, so I imagine that should turn the faucet...

Watcha got for mountain biking this weekend? Thinking about heading towards the Cascades or bend as it has been wicked dry this week.

[Bobcat Sig]

Work harder, fellas. This, from powderchasers.com:

Strong high pressure continues in the West. Models show this ridge weakening around the December 17th timeframe. There is no way to forecast what happens from that point other than confidence increases for some moisture may return to the west. Confidence is high that the ridge weakens. Confidence is low on moisture and favored areas that may see precipitation.



Basically, the ridge might break up. Even if it does, the currently likelihood that moisture follows is not good.

I guess I'll wheel out the mototrcycles again this weekend...

Looks like no wind and Cascade open. Sure, no pow, but it'll ski.

I just saw that Cascade was open too...may have to break out the old skinny carvers and go scratch around before it all melts on the next storm that comes in.

[mattig]

Anyone got beta on the coverage on Cascade and Vista? Thinking of a carvy day myself, but I'm done with crouching tigers and hidden sharks. P-tex fume high is nice though.

Well hell, for that, I'll make the trip.

Been meaning to do this for a while, but made a little video on how i watch windytv. If it's not helpful, make fun of me so I cry and remove it.

Very nice Spring like day at the Bachelor. Got out my girly skis. No really their 151cm womens FIS RS. Rode those puppies like a prom queen on Saturday night. Stayed on the low angle groom and drank moonshine hooch. Tbs you should of been there. Stay positive it will snow.

[wyeaster]
