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

Best quality snow of the cycle

Best Skibowl opening week possible.

Tonight was a frolic fest. No lines. No wind. Great visibility. Squeaky cold snow. People giggling midair as they careened off every rock or buried tree. Laughing out loud on landing, pass or fail. Constant stream of high spirited hoots, hollers, and cat calls from the chairs.

The snow was so perfect tonight. Deep and velvety. Even the chop was deep and velvety. The place went from unskiable to unbeatable in a week. Everything is filled in. All the cliffs, rock jumps, and high angle drops are set up with bottomless landing zones. Unbelievable.

Can confirm, yesterday was epic sauce. Source: i was there.

Rad to get more laps with Leftyt and his brother. Great to meet and rip with K2skier and thefortrees. The maggotry is real! Pics when I get a chance; about to board for Jackson for more pow

I able to catch the last run down into Heather. Most excellent. It’s been a long time since I’ve skied Heather with so few skiers. The solitude was excellent.



The cornices were getting spicy by the end of the day.

Fuck, I love skiing. Days like yesterday reminded me how good it can really be to there.

Yesterday is permanently filed in the skiing spank bank. Will revisit those memories frequently and often.

What's the plan today? For those there for last call y'day, what is your prediction for soft, chunky leftovers round about 1-2pm today? Looks like a modest amount of refill coming in around that time. I could ski until 7 or 8pm and offer a base camp for a dinner break, pending clearance from wife (likely) and work-related surprises (unknown until 9am).

I'll be working until mid-afternoon and plan to ski late afternoon/night to make up for the extended session yesterday (my plan to arrive at 10 and leave by 12pm changed quickly...). Will text you when I'm heading up.

I was one of the last to leave the lot yesterday and it was still snowing with intent. Even the last hour the lifts were spinning, there was very little skier traffic. My last run of the day was down 2 Bowl and most of it was untracked. In addition to the overnight accumulation, the wind (re)loading will also be good.

The snow is unusually light so what cut-up chunder there is, it's rather fluffy and soft.

SEND IT! Huck your meat. Post pics.

HAHA! FKNA right! One of my all-time top ten and easily one of the best at MHM I've ever had.

Expect a shitshow this weekend with digital marketing like this. I mean, they're not lying, but... yeah...

They failed to mention the shift in the physical nature of the precipitation. But I'm sure they'll have some ponchos in the pro shop for this weekend.

Awesome pics! Bummed to miss out on this cycle, but glad that you guys are up there taking advantage...and bringing back the pics

[atree]

Thanks, Fortress. Been thinking of getting a hand pump for hut trips. PSA, the other dive shop in town on Greenwood is filling canisters now. Nice folks.

[lucknau]

Welp. I’m using another sick day tomorrow.

It’s been a rough week....... *cough*

I’ll be at Meadows in the morning with my youngest kiddo. Depending on whether she wants to do an all day lesson, maybe I’ll be able to meet up with one, some, or all y’all.

[OregonDead]

Hoodoo for me tomorrow. It is looking good. If anyone wants to meet up for some laps let me know. Thrifty Thursday!

[2FUNKY]

So rad to see the Northwest going off! Sweet pics everyone!

Better than the best snow on earth? Come ski the legendary pow of Oregon. Utah better watch its back....

[thefortrees]

Mattig and myself are heading up for night skiing. Any other takers?

[river59]

Will probably be at meadows tomorrow. Should be in hrm lot relatively early.

Temira is predicting a period of freezing ra*n or slop between 4 and 7 tonight, but i don't know how likely that is with temps in the low 20s. I would love to hear a conditions report from you folks up there.

[klauss]

Just got back home. It was good today. certainly good conditions for throwing the carcass around. God's was spicy. a cloud moved in around 11 and hung out mid mountain but only dropped minimal snow. Was cold when I left still so hopefully freezin rain doesn't come

[thefortrees]

Snow still very soft and deep. Snowing now, so the precip is cooperating so far! Will update layer

[Toadman]

Heard about this tree well incident at Bachy that occurred on Tuesday. Wasn't sure if it had been posted.

Nice snaps as always J
Plenty of deep blower left for today. Much wee wee tingling to be had, but fuckin cold - wind chill ~ -10-15.
Jonesy tried 192 GPOs - declared them “fuckin’ awesome”

Left mhm 30 mins ago. Still snowing from up high all the way down to Odell
