2019-20 - Oregon - it never snows here and when it does, it sucks

So is that a picture of the vet screwing a new smile on that horse?!

Another wonderful day at Mt B with jonesy and 2000 of our closest friends.
1/2" of light on top of a firm 24" of isothermal base. Nicely refrozen crud off the groom, along with all kinds of "features". Hit a couple of rocks but with wrens the rocks got the worst of it.

On the second day of Touron the gaper said to me...
A Holiday Game by TGR

"Dude, the snow is getting sticky. Ya gotta surf the wave."

[jonesy]

Nice views fair conditions. Let the tourons have it. Started snowing as we left.

Captain America & jr sighting.

Didn’t see captain America up our way, but did have a nice little lunch session in mattig’s rig. Enjoyed some venison sausage from a Bambi that he apparently killed himself. Tasty as shit.

Subsequently put on skins and tried to climb up Clark creek to some NE facing terrain. Lots of sketchy Creek crossings and a late start shut us down. Snow bridges are good to go for the first 1/2 mile-3/4 mile or so, but get worse after that. Time consuming. At least I got in some walking!

You aint gonna loose your ski boots that way

Are they Ukrainian, dressing like a typical American to blend in?

Maybe that’s a small contingent of the large skiing family...

[TBS]

It wasn’t The Johnsons from Utah

[jonesy]

Team Johnson

The family that instagrams together stays together

Thanks TBS, yes it’s clear that the coral reef is more concerning than shark bites with that refreeze, so I brought the crud rippers. We should be on the hill Monday and Tuesday ... depending on how my 1 year old handles being stuck in West Lodge all morning w/ Grandma ...

Whichever ones you care about less. It’s thin and bony. You can’t bring both?

Even with mine and the wife’s pairs each of waxless touring skis and resort skis (double boots each as well), and baby gear (holy shit don’t get me started on how much crap we hauled), folding dog crate, assload of beer and wine and xmas presents ... I guess another pair of skis might have fit up in the cargo box, but F me if I totally wasn’t well over packing any more shit in our ‘mobile!

Hopefully I won’t be having this conversation on all subsequent trips and it will be the Praxis GPO’s or Prior snowboard until corn season!

[MHSP1497]

Wow... was Timberline bony this morning!!! Dust on crust, on rocks, on sticks on tree stumps. Be careful out there and Thank God for ON3P bomber bases!

[jonesy]

Not much of a base for heavy ski traffic.
Pine & Cloud went down,typical for Bachelor on the biggest ski vacation.

Low tide, cross once, then bushwack to gain the ridge.

That’s definitely the move for now, thanks. Had some friends up there a week before the wet variety of precip, said the creek crossings were good to go... not so anymore!

I thought it was decent yesterday. That said, it was our first day and expectations were low. It will be rough with the crowds after xmas, and outback is not going to be enough. Forecast does not look good...

Merry effin Christmas maggots.

Don’t you mean Merry Fistmas?

[puma]

Were you on the wrens?

No. I know the base strength/durability of the on3p is legendary, but just did not feel good about brand new skis in that low of a base.

[Bobcat Sig]

Merry Fistmas, you filthy animals. I even went so far as to leave town in hopes that Ullr would deliver for you. I guess it’s not working?

[TBS]

Xmas morning dawned foggy as fuck. Showed up to a couple of early risers cooking brekkie



Got a skiff of fresh last night.

Conditions ranged from this


to total whiteout, can't see shit in front of you foggy

Bony sections remain on CC. Wrens crushed another rock with nary a scratch.
Entrance to Carnival -> CC from top of SRX is spicy, and gonna remain that way until more snow falls.

Basically ski-on laps until 1045, when the Touron horde showed up. Got pretty fucking scary after that.

Happy Holidays ya derelicts

Merry Christmas OR posse!
