While you’re there… Stop by cloud 9, pop a bottle of bubbly, and get your groove on with some hot chicks dressed in all sorts of fuzzy things

LOL. I was looking at all the yellow Veuve Clicquot buckets and signage at that little hut while riding the Cloud 9 chair earlier this morning.

Gee whiz, can't people farm their turns?

I'm enjoying some pow a bit farther East.

Yeah meadows riders criss cross the fall line too much. But it still skied great on my second time through. Thanks for reminding me to have canned oxygen for the hike in a couple weeks. Even though you didn’t.

As a note - Super Bowl was open yesterday....I've haven't seen that in my 12 years of skiing Meadows. Quite the trail of ants hiking up behind Cascade hut, but didn't see but 3 tracks coming down Super Bowl so not sure where the masses were actually going? Anyone have a clue?

farther East

Sorry for being obtuse…where’s farther east?
Looks like fun on a nice day

They were allowing hiking, but Superbowl wasn't open from what I heard. Just Dallas Bowl - so those people all skied down right above Cascade. (Not over above A-Zone and further east.)

[CnRzG]

Yeah, and while they were hiking that, I was snagging my age old middle heather line.

dot dot dot.... that's Aspen Highlands Bowl.

[gregorys]

I got two heather laps myself, late afternoon. Both on the backside of accordion, out onto the start of hammerhead and then the drop into the chute, SW of hammerhead (hammer bowl?) . A-Zone was pretty hard in sections, but the turns down to hammerhead and down to the bottom were sweet.

My Brother in Law was the covid bouncer at Cloud 9 2020-21. Sucked Ass. Believe it or not, he was a concert producer before the pandemic. Now he is living my retirement dream, getting his level 2 psia's.

that would certainly explain why I’ve never been allowed near there
my underwear isn’t bogner enough

Yeah just Dallas bowl just above cascade. From the top of dallas, you can ski down into lower Super Bowl and into azone but it’s not a frequent play.

I saw tracks in Clark, but was wondering if anyone was able to access the basalt columns at the top of clark.

Oregon House Senate Bill 754 aims to bring resort liability waivers back into synch with all other western states

In 2014 the OR Supreme Court found that the standard liability waivers on OR ski pass or bike parks were invalid - “an unconscionable contract” because among other things, users didn’t have the option to opt out in exchange for additional payment.

So now resorts aren’t able to get insurance or it’s prohibitively expensive - quelle surprise. This is why SkiBowl shut down their bike park and why Meadows charges more if a user doesn’t want to agree to the waiver.

OR Senate bill 754 aims to fix this.
Not surprisingly the OR Trial Lawyers are opposed to reducing their gravy train.

Traversed out fall lines n refrozen chickenheads await the masses for the best conditions ever going into a major holiday

Probably the same massively stoned person who decided to name the lodges that run mainly east and west the "north" and "south" lodges.
SMH...

[eldereldo]

Yeh trying to avoid that as well as the concert weekend of the 15-16, Pretty much makes the first two weeks the options.

Which leads to another question, Easter Friday and Monday, are they holidays? doesn’t seem like it from the searches I did, and Bachelor pre-purchase ticket prices would indicate not.

[detuned]

many a folk mentioned best snow they've seen in a while today. missed out on tue/wed I guess.

punchy in places but some good smooth wind buff/chalk to be found from a zone out through hammer. dicey in places but made up for with decent turns




not completely savvy with orienteering but main lodge seems fairly laid out regarding prevailing directions, but I do ski stoned

Hoping to make it three midweek days in three weeks. If, and if, on Wednesday there’s a snow day, I’ll see you folks in the upper bowl. I can’t see yesterday or Thursday being as good as last Wednesday and Tuesday. Especially with all these people riding perpendicular to the fall line.

Friday was not as good as tue/wed but some people can only get up the hill once or twice a week. In their defense Friday was a pretty good day.

I think the colloquial term is "turning". That coupled with what mhm skiers refer to as variable conditions makes for some unsustained "turns" down a particular pitch. ymmv

Despite getting shunted to Sunrise after getting to the MHM exit at 7.40a (wtf), people kinda stopped skiing after 10.30a (wind?) so ski on laps with a lot of groom everywhere to go high speed. Viz was surprisingly good for windy conditions. Wind really kicked in at noonish, pushing it into uncomfortable chair rides & I figured meh, pretty good morning for a gimp…let’s hang on to our matches for the snow in a few days

Apologies... Anyday on the snow is a good day. Snow quality can be both objective and subjective.

I woke up to 9” new and 14” in the last 24 Bridger report. Went out to scrape snow off my car and all I needed was a brush… Montana Cold Smoke! Not sure if I’m gonna like this light stuff over snow with some heft at home ;-)

I have heard, “if you can ski in Oregon, you can ski anywhere.” Does this assertion hold water?

Outback at Skibowl yesterday yielded plenty of soft turns with light breakable crust in the AM. All the usual places got beat up by lunch. No sleeping on the log road runout. There were plenty of bump, holes, and narrow spots. I didn’t get back out there in the afternoon to see what the mist and fog wet did to the conditions.
If the weather forecast holds for this week, it should be excellent out there next weekend.
