Lol... the struggle is real. Webcams showing main lot is almost full already and traffic is backed up on the access road.

Yep, deep 2nd row at 645am today makes this the busiest day of the year so far. Seems like there's been a big preference shift among the beater masses that favors sun and calm wind over new snow.

Can’t really blame them, tbh.

2019-20 - Oregon - it never snows here and when it does, it sucks
By Central Oregon standards, it’s already a Hoo-Zoo down here too!

MHX not really running (& Vista) makes MHM a crowded venue

Well the dawn cracked hard, like a bullwhip
And it wasn't takin' no lip from the day before
As it shook out the streets the ski bums showed up like bounced checks, rubbin' their necks
And the mountain turned the color of Pepto Bismol

Nice to be able to see where I was going today. Nice soft snow where it wasn't wind scoured - like on ridgetops. Variable depth and density otherwise.
Lines got to be a little long about 1000, but they cleared in 10-15 minutes
During one such wait, I got to listen to some guy rant about how MtB management was criminally stupid because it couldn't get Summit and NWX open today. "I paid $100 for a ticket, the whole mountain should be open! They should have been working on everything last night" I bit my tongue remembering my grandpa's words "You'll never win a fartin contest with a horse's ass."
Next time around, I was chatting with a random skier riding a pair of Kartels.
After a couple of minutes he asks "Are you TBS?"
"Uh yea...how did you know?"
"From your (FRS Antero II) jacket"
I need to talk to MiCol about some sort of spokesmodel fee. As I've said, that jacket repels everything but women.
Nice to meet you Bryan! Did you get to Outback? How was it?
Good to see you too Poacher. Looks like you had a fun crew with you today.
Looks like a good day tomorrow as well, but with fewer people. Anybody besides Jonesy and me headed up?

Got to pay bills and work for a living.
Dude, didn't even ask for change? How presumptive.
I rolled up as the full moon was setting. Pretty damn impressive.
Did a couple cone laps for the cardio. Good for the soul and what not...

^^^oh shit, sorry for getting the name wrong. Too many concerts in my younger daze...
I think I remember you having wrens in Skjersaas for a mount a couple of years ago when I had GPOs in for same thing.
Don’t know if you’ve seen the grizzlycorn Kartels around the ranch.

Not sure what to call this... Baby eagle? The semi-spread egret?
Sunday got better as the day progressed. Tracked out pow from previous day that had sketchy crust in the morning softened nicely by afternoon into chalky goodness.
NOAA model showing another form of goodness next weekend. Too soon to bank on it, but promising at least. A few of these mini-storms moving through:

Went to Timberline today because a buddy had $25 Black Friday tickets. The sky was bluebird, the groom was set up perfectly and damn, I had forgotten how flat it is there when they don't open Palmer or the Mile. Oh well, the sun was out and it was better than going to work.
Didn't look like they were even trying to open the Mile, let alone Palmer, I guess they're holding out for the weekend (or maybe spring for Palmer).

Sever ice storm at bachelor. Chunks of cocktail ice shedding from the trees. Falling then rolling out on the runs. It would ruin your day.

Hoodoo was fantastic. Blue Bird day, snow got really good as the sun worked on it. The best part was that there was almost nobody there. I rarely saw anybody on the runs I was taking. I skied Mirkwood, Grandstand, Face, Crater, and Chucks Backside. Great Day of many turns!!

Spent the morning at Meadows. Pretty cool to see the sun for once. Groomer day for sure out there. Anything off trail was not fun.
Ran into Pollard who was on a snowboard, hit the baby park off of HRE and remembered why I'm too old to do that anymore. Good times.
