I seen Sasquatch today jumpin out of them trees, I seen it!

[Sessiøn]

Minimal lines at Meadows the last three days. Today was a ski onto the chair kind of day. Snow is light where protected, bit wind pressed most places. PR will be awesome if they can get it open tomorrow or Tuesday. Should have gotten a skibowl night pass this year for second shift…

This morning was kind of surreal. I did 2 laps in the Bowls, then decided the venture over to the other side. Got to the top of Rock Garden and it had not even been skied yet.

Targhee is like a neglected child that gets passed up with JH being only 1.5 hr drive. We’d all be kind and giddy too if there was no line on powder day ;-) But powder day on Hood is like black Friday at Walmart. I’ve adjusted my standard and I thought last Thursday and Friday skied great with a manageable holiday crowd.. probably $150 tix and restriction on value pass holders have something to do with that.

More importantly, anyone in the know what’s up with Heather/PR? Waiting for snow to consolidate?

A lifty told me it should open sometime this week.

This was one of the deepest days that I have ever seen at MHM.

[Hood26]

is this the place to post for hood/portland? i'm from SLC, but will be in town the 1st week of 2022. Have a full free day friday the 7th. hoping to get a tour in on Mt. Hood or anything else good nearby (i'm a PNW virgin). just looking for someone local to help me out, i'll be in SW portland, if pre-work turns are possible then great, otherwise i'm good waiting till my free day.

I am too lazy to tour, but I am pretty confident you can strike pre work turns form the agenda if you are working in Portland; not close enough.

Actually, we don’t discuss too much backcountry here. Maybe we all mostly a bunch of chair-riding-degenerates. Maybe try try the Hook Up forum?

After work turns can be a real fun at Skibowl. They have great night skiing.

^ Pre-work tours are possible out of portland. You can get up mirror lakes and back into skibowl in a few hours. If the temps stay low glspi, check out ski bowl for night skiing and Tom Dick and Harry for touring. I wouldn’t recommend the tour solo for a first timer but it’s safe to tour up out of avy terrain and drop into the controlled skibowl area(my go to solo tour). Feel free to PM if you want more ideas

Good lord, Bachelor is reporting 24“ yesterday and 31“ today at 7 degrees. I can only imagine.

Those are 24 hour totals. However, 59" over the past 72 hours is not too shabby.

Tough day breaking trail out there. Deep and light!

No it is not, although the 72 hr total is down to 48” @ end of today.
Snow today was great, viz sucked, wind chill -15 to -20.

Tomorrow at home with the snow blower, then back for hopefully better viz on Wednesday

Please check for Outback being open before relying on the control work to be completed.


Great day at Ski Bowl today!

[jonesy]

Hoodoo did not suck. 12° & a light balmy breeze. Minimal lines,good times.

This pilgram sampled the goods.

[Tap]

Today was mental. Cold light dry deep blower. Doesn’t happen like that often. Feeling blessed.

[boar2m]

Ditto, and I’m not even religious. Bach is gonna be sick when NW spins, maybe this Wed?
As to Meadows, I’ve a feeling PR pops today... and lower Heather/JW debuts for the season this Wed.

[boar2m]

Is every lift set up with fast track gates, or just PM?

Yesterday MHM had PR listed as doing avy work instead of closed. It should be opening very soon.

From the Bachelor website;

FAST TRACKS IS YOUR ALL-DAY UPGRADE TO MT. BACHELOR'S NEW EXPRESS LIFT LINES
More laps, more pow, more stoke! Pine Marten, Sunrise, Skyliner, Cloudchaser, Outback, Northwest, Summit, Red Chair, and Little Pine lifts at Mt. Bachelor now feature Fast Tracks, a daily add-on pass that gives you access to dedicated express lift lanes that bypass the lift line. Now you can spend more of your day skiing and riding and less time waiting. Reserve Fast Tracks online in advance or slope side when you get here, valid for use starting December 18. Don’t wait! Access is limited each day.

STARTING AT $49

Meadows prepped the base of Vista Monday. It also looks like they knocked ice off the sheaves & towers

[boar2m]

I hope they can do the same with CEX tomorrow... you need some pitch!

[boar2m]

I just looked at super iced-up CEX cam… haha, no way it’s gonna be ready any time soon.
I remember PM lift at Bach used to drip grease. I wonder if that was hydrophobic grease they used on purpose to repel ice.

[jonesy]

5 lifts were spinning @ bachelor with 10,000 riders. Powdr never disappoints. Word on the hill is Sky will be down for awhile. Maybe next week crowds will subside. Stay safe out there.
