Weather report looks interesting for the weekend. Could be good one hour, and meh the next, and then good again? Or vice a versa...

Only way to know for sure what the weathers doing is to get out and ski!

Seems like a great time and age for him to try something new and expand his mountain skill set.

Plus maybe it will keep him from becoming an old man skier like the rest of you.

Well said. Do both well and choose the tool to maximize fun on the conditions of the day.

Word. Pack and extra shell and a big old beach towel and send it. QUOTE=thefortrees;5564048]Only way to know for sure what the weathers doing is to get out and ski![/QUOTE]

Trash bag outer layer optional.

Most of the rain has shifted to overnight and early morning. We'll be there both days regardless. Hit us up.

Good call matt. Slice the slop.

Was snowing at MHM this afternoon

Slight layer of soft serve that skied well where the wind dropped it

Hope it rolls on all night for Fri mags

Greg Coulter made space in both pairs of boots for me. I need a few outings to dial my buckling in, but today’s testing was very positive. He’s a very positive, friendly, professional dude. He even stitched up my liners that had come undone in the previous bootfitter’s efforts. Stand up dude fer sure .

The rainstorm descends.
The Oregon thread goes silent.

The lonely mountain stands pondering its prospects.
Which will he court, the white or the wet?

Both shoulders of Wy’East bravely hunched, knowing colder days near.

Those, so many, living on the Passes weep.

Powder for Anthony
Wet are the rest.

[Grizz]

Not too lonely. No rain and 30 degrees. It's currently (1:20pm) good skiing @ MHM.

TONIGHT will be a different story.

“To become a good skier like this, you first need to learn how to read the snow report. Don’t go to a ski resort at 5,000 feet when the snow level is 9,000 feet.” Warren Miller in Beyond the Edge
from 1986.

My shitty poem didn’t make my rainy day mood any better, so I am watching Warren Miller. The above is a fitting Warrenism for today.

[mattig]

Watch out for inversion days Mr. Miller.

As we speak Hoodoo has a raging snowstorm. Ullr have mercy and give us those faceshots of old. The kind like a sounding Blue Whale.

[Flyoverland Captive]

Might hit Hoodoo Sunday. Will check the cams in the morning.

Good times for the opening of MLK weekend...

Vertigo-inducing Ski-by-Braille conditions in the top half of CloudCatcher drainage to start the day.

In a quest for viz, I got to Sky base immediately after two females exited their chair 50 yards after "loading". They landed right on the red catch pad under the haul line - Bullseye!

Chair didn't spin for 30 min while they immobilized and skidded one away in a toboggan. By then the ceiling dropped again as the front moved in.

Looks like tomorrow provides a shitshow of thick crusty glop...

Got out for an all day tour on the east side of 35 today, opposite Hood. Holy sheeeeittt the snow was good above 5k. Great morning of ankle deep settled pow. Snow started puking around 130/2. Filled up our skin tracks each lap, and had an all time slide down for the last run... until we hit 4800 ft and it was raining.

How so? It's dumping snow not rain.

just reading the forecasts. Heavy rain is predicted. I will be happy if they are wrong.

Dude, do you not have a job? You seem to be free to ski every day. I am curios and jealous...

[k2skier112]

Gonna pass on our Saturday. Anyone going up Monday? HRM should have early ups.

[Sessiøn]

I guess I'll just get drunk tonight.

Work from home, 4am-12pm. Ski afternoons mostly. Throw in extra hours here and there to cover days off.

Little BC mission before the afternoon pre-rain rolled in

[Groomer Gambler]

Was thinking about getting to Hoodoo today and/or Bachelor tomorrow or Monday. This morning looks like rain but turning back to snow tonight. Bachelor worth it tomorrow?
