Lol does everyone else also have the same user name on that other site? But yea apc.fr is me over there.

Mono mini unquestionably.

Also if anyone wants a go, mono is setup with all demo everything. Red jacket, white helmet, on3ps and/or a monoski.

Another nice spring day. Surprisingly small crowds given this Rendevan Extravaganza!
Speaking of party, these two miscreants were seen whipping down the getback to PMX at Mach looney while swilling beer.

You have probably seen this already, but message issued by nwac about the mhm fatality:

Initial media reports surrounding a fatality within the Mt Hood Meadows Ski Area attributed the fatality to an avalanche incident. Since then, NWAC has spent dozens of staff hours interviewing Patrol, SAR and the Hood River Medical Examiner as well as investigating the incident site. As of 4/19/22, we are unable to conclude whether this was a probable avalanche or a probable snow immersion suffocation (SIS) fatality. In a report that will be released in the next week, we will summarize key information, identify likely timelines and scenarios, and list our remaining questions.

Never skied Mt. Bachelor, few questions:. I see they reduce open terrain in May, typically keep some of the advanced stuff open? Also short hours typically work well with corn cycle? Using USFS topo, possible to find dirtbag car camping within 30 min or the van life folks overrunning everything? Thinking May 13th long weekend. I haven't been to Bend since climbing Smith rock in late 90's. Thanks.

^^ It’s Oregon. Just cover your car with a blue tarp, stay anywhere as long as you want, and nobody will ever bother you.

You’ll get hassled with a two ladder sprinter, but you won’t with a tarp and some 2x4s. He hadn’t been to Bend since the 90s, figured he should know.

No need to be a sensitive bitch

Sounds about right.

Gee getting testy in here.

I can’t answer all your questions, but with the recent snow, I think you will be more than happy skiing May 13 weekend.

Have a good trip.

I think he just wanted you to know that aporophobia is not something we’re all on board with over here. Like all hate-based ideologies, it just screams ignorance, and that’s untenable for a lot of us. Have a good one.

Hope y'all have a great month. Got a stress fracture in my foot.... while.... gardening. Have 4-6 more weeks until the boot comes off. Then maybe a day or two in late may or june.

**thefortrees** · 04-23-2022, 02:42 PM

Skinned up to Super Bowl today, down into azone and Clark. Perfect top to bottom. Cold, Soft and edgeable through the sastrugi up high, I’d call it proto-pow. Fast and fun skiing.

transitioned into proto-corn top of azone. Upper mtn in amazing shape. Not your typical pre-corn cycle conditions on upper mt hood. Git sum!

What a difference 8 feet of snow can make! It was looking pretty sad last month.

How was Clark? I almost got lured over there yesterday, but the thought of hundreds of barely buried boulders near the waterfall scared me off

8 ft down low, possible 20 ft up top? I probed around 4500ft elevation across the highway earlier this week, 235cm depth!

Great coverage in Clark, no boulders to worry about yet. A little target practice dodging small rocks on the SW aspect of PG ridge in Clark. Rollerballs and small rocks started releasing on that aspect by late morning.

Skied accordion yesterday - great coverage, but deep, heavy snow.

Damn it. Extreme gardening. Heal up. I need to get out the Rototiller sometime next month.

Complete bullshit, take you partisan politics to polyass you wanker. You figured he should know your a biased asshole?

Did you know that 2/3 of homeless have mental health issues? And your making it a talking point in your politics, then bringing up outside of polyass. Take a lap beater

In other news… who’s skiing tomorrow?

Do you counter to the outside on a Mono? Asking for a friend.

If by that you mean I'm the same guy posting on newschoolers in a white jacket, then yes. Or if you saw me struggling on NW today, also yes.

It's improving lol, gotta stay out of the backseat to get that tail around.

Also after watching a video defining countering, I have no idea. Here's a video from the newschoolers thread:

None of the above. I was inquiring about the bio mechanics of turning the board. Upper lower body separation. Sorry TMI.

Nono. Ski terms are not a strong suit.

There's not really a defined technique as far as I can find, more or less figure it out yourself.

It's definitely more friendly to bumps/bump technique/skidding than carving, which I really have not figured out yet. It is really not quick edge to edge.

On what is now day 3, it's basically making the whole run a wiggle line.

Ok that's good info. More Rotary(steering). Brush turns or edge lock carves I would assume you have to counter your upper body to the outside of the turn or at some point you would get to far inside the turn and lose the edge. I almost would try mono.
