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

[jonesy]

Hoodoo delivered soft groomers, sunshine & low traffic.

Snain stopped about 7am at MHM. By 9:30 it was bluebird. Low crowd level on the hill today. Ski on was the norm at Star, MEX, HRM. Once the sun had a chance to hit South facing slopes it skied well. Lots of breakable crust in areas the sun didn't hit. I'm not ready for Spring like conditions, bring back the pow. Monday should be good.

Surprisingly nice this morning. Got a late start this AM and ended up in sunrise, but was to the top of MHE at 9:30. Coulda been worse.

Actually saw the sun for a couple hours there and the sun softened stiff skied pretty well. Lots of fast groomers as well.



Bailed around noon when it got windy and the snow flurries started. Everything was refreezing and visibility wasn’t great.

Was there for the morning as well...

Kinda grabby & wind-affected off-piste until it got broken up by skier traffic.

My friend B during the early sun breaks


Snowing when we left at 1p...hope it rolls on into tomorrow

Portland public schools out today and this was 35 at 7:45a



Looks like parents couldn’t break away today...

FX looking promising for those that can do it tomorrow...

That's more traffic than there was this weekend. Left at 3pm and was home at 443pm. (Always stop for cheap, high speed diesel in Boring too). Unheard of.

Looks like a great Monday, AC! Should be up there tomorrow afternoon at some point...

Got some fun turns with K2skier112
Ski-on lifts all day — so pleasant to not have to compete for turns!
Heather opened around 9.30 and we just lapped that until our legs had enough
Already 4” on telemetry since 1p...should be good tomorrow
I imagine Heather & PR will go

Good times were had with the bachelor crew. It's nice when there's no crowds.

That's what I'm hoping for...

Yoooo... hit me up. Planning on getting up there in the morning and ski as much as I can.

How's the coverage back there? I only had one late lap back there last Tuesday and things looked ok. I'm guessing the accumulation has improved things, yes?

A couple of creeks are still roped off, skiable everywhere

Coverage is good. The r**n event didn’t wash stuff away; just compacted it, best I can tell.

It was firm/crusty below the 5” of new. So, tonight’s accumulation should only benefit the experience.

Jacks skied well. We didn’t get into PR.

Timberline was fun this morning. Deep and soft, but wet and manky. Really glad I brought out the Cease & Desist’s today. I’m dying to try my new Wildcat 108’s but today really was a Billygoat or C&D kinda morning.

[thefortrees]

Great morning at MHM... couldn’t find the rain crust for the most part, it was buried deep. Smooth skiing where it was untracked but set up fast once things got tracked up. Fargin deep skiing in AbsoluteMagnitude, Jacks, PR/S&R. Get some while you can!

Glad to hear someone got out in it today!

[river59]

MHM certainly delivered today. Everyone just disappeared around 11. Skied right on to the heather and star chairs all afternoon. The am Chinese downhill packed down the mank and the result was surprisingly good once it started dumping and blowing again!

I’m jonesing for some turn fellas!

Fortress: that’s my favorite slice of that mountain right there.

My quads still remember how much you like it.

Pineapple laps on Saturday, pow laps on Sunday. We'll be there.

You obviously don’t spend enough time on your knees

Good skiing today. Empty slopes, sunny day, no wind. I was expecting an icy mess after the late afternoon wetness yesterday and an overnight temp in the 20s, but it wasn't. All the North aspect stuff skied fresh.

Left Reno at 2:30 a.m. & just after 9:00 a.m. I was rolling into the Bachelor parking lot.


Coming over the hill just as it went full blue Thursday morning. Good timing.


Snowbanks are bigger here than in Tahoe these days. That’s a good sign.


Summit wasn’t loading yet so I took a couple laps on Northwest. Snow was a mix of chunk & funk. Just ok.


Turned into a sweet day.


Line was forming at Summit and not wanting to wait I headed for Cloud Chaser. Winds were blowing with wind buff conditions. Good skiing.


2nd lap on CC.


Summit opened and the wind blown on both sides of the chair line was sick.


Skied our into the Cows face area. Lots of wind lips with slashy pow turns.


Run of the day on my 2nd lap out to Cows Face. No one around. Someone said today was the 1st time this season you could ski off the top in an direction. If that’s true my timing was perfect.


Last lap of the day looking to the West off of Summit. Had an amazing day. Only the 2nd time skiing here and remembered what a fun Mtn this is.

^^^Welcome to Central OR
Rumors are true. Summit was open one day before, but confined to a much smaller area and snow was way worse.

Glad you got some.

[snojones]

Great photos of Bachelor. Looks like you will be returning.....

[thefortrees]

Damn, Bach looking mighty fine... how’s it looking down there on Saturday? Considering a drive south for the day
