Is the Commander going Commando?
I didn’t ask
I was able to get up on Summit a little bit after it opened yesterday, the hike for those wind loaded pockets up top was definitely worthwhile!
Anyone gonna be at the ranch on Tuesday? Wife and I are trading kid watching duties, I think the mid mountain forecast of 15 with negative 2 windchill at 9 AM Tuesday means I’ll be able to get first turn on skis before retiring to the trailer.

A few of the riff raff will be up Tuesday.
Can’t make it up today…plz take a photo or two for us workin folk
Your welcome.
Thanks, that hits the spot…
That pic looks nice Jonesy. I've always felt visibility is overrated if the turns are soft.
Between my "local" mountain being closed, being lazy and not hiking for turns, a new puppy crying at 5 a.m., and work...I have all excuses covered for why I am not up this morning getting turns...
Boot deep in the lot and Red is spinning. I hear they are gonna try for Cloud and Sun, that totally surprised me given the wind forecast but things died down at 730 and maybe we have a window before things get nasty this afternoon.

MHM opening on wind delay
On a day like today, I am dreaming of White Crystal… so much terrain and all protected. Catch the gondy up and drop down to left and right angle for 2000 plus nicely spaced steep tree runs… But Meadows will have to do for tomorrow and Wed.![]()
All of MHM on wind hold
I booked a boot fitting tweak with Greg , post foot bed install, a week and a half ago for TUESDAY, fuck me. I'll be up Wednesday
Anticipating tomorrow, I wonder how fast patrols can open up the canyon… most likely PR cracks first and possibly lower?? Canyon especially upper may not even open until really late tomorrow or on Wednesday I’m guessing. I’m just trying to motivate myself to work ;-) Carry on!
a rhetorical question - I never can't figure out the wind pattern on Hood. How can Timberline run JF lift while Meadows cannot run HRM when wind is coming from the west?
I've never seen Meadows run just HRM. If Stadium or MHE can't run, then HRM wont most likely
It's surprising they're not running BC, Daisy and ER
Who's lapping the "Cup" today at MHM?
My guess is a huge windy storm preceded by weeks of freeze/thaw would not be conducive to that kind of terrain opening quickly.
