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

[thefortrees]

Forest is open, just parking areas and trailheads are closed. Get creative with parking. The skiing is great right now if you are OK with long approaches and rescuing skis out of water on the exit.

Will Timberline have to wait for Clackamas County to have an approved plan? I think the answer is probably yes, but I don’t know for sure.

I bet face masks will be required, at least on lifts and in lifeline.

Also, it looks like we will be scheduling slope time in advance like we would tee times.

I went up to pick up my chair yesterday




I talked to a guy from Bend who was there picking up chairs who said Bachelor was going to open for skiing per Gov Kate's announcement...he seemed to be very confident about it -- anyone else hear any Bachelor gossip?

I hope he got home under the various traffic lights



Timberline looked like it had plenty of snow. The regular lot was still melting out from the previous day's snow.

As long as your under 13 ft 6 in your good to go. You can go 14 ft 1 in without a permit. However, Ptown is notorious for low bridges. Check your routing driver. Haven't heard either way on a Bachy opening. I'm not feeling it.

I heard passholders only for Bachy, starting May 15. Womp womp

^^^Where did you hear that? MtB site doesn't have any guidance...

So jelly your chairs came with grips and clips. MHM stripped all that stuff off

[jonesy]

By the time our governor says something, anything. Go home, it's over.

[k2skier112]

We're all in this contagion experiment together, the entire world that is. Skiing right now is first world problems...

I pulled the J-arm cuz I won’t be hanging it. It’s just extra weight for me. It’s going on a sled-style fixed base.

I saw one like that. It sure simplifies the support structure. But I wanna swing on mine...more work.

Yellow chair from Bachelor.

Sounds like your kind of party.

[TBS]

This may be the lift served model in 20/21

[jonesy]

Not far from the truth. Just don't cough.

[Hood26]

You are most likely right.

[thefortrees]

Not a bad way to run lift served if crowds are light...

[jonesy]

Kudos Tline. Meanwhile "the other" resort is still out to lunch. They can't even get their online pass charges figured out. Lame

Yeah...its those pow days that will become shit shows under this protocol.

Mt B is still waiting on Deschutes County Commissioners to provide guidelines for opening. Which I think got issued last night. So now they have to come up with a plan the County approves.
IMO best scenario we can expect for snow sliding is they open for a few days to test out methods for handling crowds. Then it's on to the bike trails

[k2skier112]

When TLine opens, the sauna will be closed but the hot tub will be open, but; Limited, with members of your party only

Do they change the water after each party is done? Will a virus live in 102* water, or is the chlorine gonna kill it?

I won't get near a public hot tub for quite a while, but wouldn't have issues using a sauna.
