He’s around. Nice throwback, brah. Most don’t know the legend of the Schralper.

Good to hear. I had been wondering about him also.

I ran into his brother a couple years back.

At Ms TBS' insistence I just bought Mt B Pass Refund Protection - $39
Two more days you can do this

So I will be injury-free this year, right?

Heh, at my age “hucks” do not exceed 3” off the snow nor 1 sec in duration.
Anything bigger is a prelude to tragedy
But thanks for the optimism!

[OregonDead]

so to keep with the optimism I hear Santiam pass is back open so I am thinking we will be able to meet up at the Doo for some thrifty Thursdays once winter gets rolling

Age is only a number. Huck thy meat. SEND IT!

Who joined the NWAC session tonight?

Who joined the NWAC session tonight?

only going to watch a little of tomorrow to see a friend's talk. I'll be watching WYSAW because it's more relevant to work/life and USAW potentially.

I'm all about consuming more information right now. Do those have links where we can sign up?

First link is for WYSAW which has a handful of speakers from Utah and is this week http://www.tetoncountysar.org/wysaw

Early next month is when USAW happens and it looks like handful of Jackson folks will be speaking there. https://store.utahavalanchecenter.or...sses-education

A friend went up to Palmer to snag some turns yesterday and... Palmer is gone. Dirt. Even the gully where they pile up snow that is almost always skiable is melted out. Anybody heard of this happening before? I’m hoping they just stopped farming snow because of covid and this is not a sign of things to come. Sorry to buzzkill the optimist thread.

Well, not sure if this classifies as an optimistic post...but, FYI:

^^^Seems reasonable to me. Reserve 7 days in advance. Cancel w/o penalty before 0700 day of. Which releases the cancelled spots.

This way you don’t have to resort to human smuggling to ski

I have not read it in detail. My main concern is to secure parking for my vacation over there during the festive time of year. I look forward to battling it out with the masses. Not sure if can reserve those way in advance, or if that's something I need to be on 7 days prior to arrival.

[TBS]

Beginning 11/9 you can reserve up to 7 days anytime during the season.

15-16 Fall it got pretty skimpy. But I don't recall it ever disappearing completely.

is the bus service from Bend to Mt Bachelor still on schedule to run this winter?

I took good advantage of that service a couple years ago, (walked from airbnb) rather than driving personal vehicle...

I have heard others say it is. Not tracking personally.

appeasr to be still be on track:

[Toadman]

Where would one park their vehicle if they decided not to drive up but take the bus? I suppose I could put my skis on my back and ride the mtn bike the 3.5 miles from my house to the parking lot...

[interloper]

Parking lot @ the bus pick up location. No parking reservations needed at Bachelor for bus riders. WTF
