Was not bad out at all.

Above 7k it got quite nice on anything leeward

Nice fall weather in Central Oregon. Good for a mt bike ride or a hike with the dog.

^^^Top of Cone?

Looks like Timberline is going to add a Gondi from Summit in Govy to base of Mile. Creates the longest vert drop in USA
Prolly creates USA’s longest lift-served run in horizontal direction as well...

Nice. Next move would be a lift between Skibowl and Summit, right? I'd buy that pass.

Night skiing down the Glade Trail and Alpine Trail to Govy.

Different owners so unlikely. A magic carpet on the overpass might be a cheaper idea anyway

Night skiing down the Glade Trail and Alpine Trail to Govy.

Heh, did that as a kid, don't need a gondi. Hard part now is there's not enough reliable snow to get all the way to Summit base (3500' el?).

Perhaps. Two words give me hope: Fusion Pass.

^^^Heh, that ran for a couple of years when I started. Cost more than a land bus, and usually broke down en route. Our ski bus from PDX took us all the way up

[Hood26]

Way cool that they got the approval from NFS. I am glad that the Feds didn’t stand in the way of their obvious master plan for buying Summit.

My dream would be a train/light rail from about Sandy, and then a gondola from Timberline to Meadows.

Once completed, this gondola is 1/3 (the easiest and honestly the only probable part) of my dream but I have to have something to think on while crawling off the hill. If only we had the European spirit of Mountain development.

You must of started skiing when you were 5. Hope you liked the beef.

Yep. Dog loves him some snow. (As does his owner!)

Yeah...good luck permitting a Gondi across a wilderness area

Seven.
Good cow. Only had ground and Tbones so far

Oh I know it is an unrealistic dream, but if I ever meet a Genie...

There is actually no designated Wilderness between T-Line and Meadows. Both resorts and White River Canyon are outside of the Wilderness boundary below ~8500'. Having said that, a gondi connecting the 2 resorts would never get approval. Nor would there be any benefit to it.

How’s your recovery coming along? Think you’ll be ok to noodle around on some early season corduroy?

[mattig]

I saw him a few weeks back. He was vigorous. I gave him some power tuna, so I imagine he's fully recovered if he ate that.

can't run yet, but progress continues
haven't finished the tuna yet...so recovery not yet complete

Longest and flattest run in the country is one hell of a marketing point

“Power tuna” - is that what we are calling it these days?
