    DAMN WEATHER PATTERN!!! what the HELL is wrong with this picture, record highs this week the inland pac nw, mid 60's, snow level rising to over 7000', rain all but gauranteed EVERY day of the next week.....WHERE is uller when you need him?
    Our world is full of surrender at the first sign of adversity, do not give up when the challenge meets you, meet the challenge. Through perseverance comes the rewards, the rewards that make life so enjoyable.

    Seize the day, trusting little in the future.

    if you want something, go after it. if you want to screw someone over, look DEEP in your heart and realize Karma is a bitch

    Blackcomb opened 2-3 weeks early last year with something like a 90cm base. They could probably open with less than that, but I doubt they would.

    Well, I say get it while you can!

    Go for high anchorage, low risk terrain terrain! Nice thing about PNW, lots of little trees everywhere for anchors. Early seasons can be really stable if you know what you're doin. NOT that I do or anything.

    Oregon Cascades Forecast!



    Tonight: Showers and isolated thunderstorms in the evening...then showers likely after midnight. Snow level 3000 feet. Snow accumulation up to 6 inches. Pass winds southwest 5 to 15 mph.

    Thursday: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers. Snow level 3000 feet rising to 3500 feet in the afternoon. Pass winds southwest 5 to 15 mph.

    Thursday night: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers. [B]Snow level 3500 feet rising to 4000 feet after midnight.[/B] Pass winds south 5 to 15 mph. Gusts to 30 mph after midnight.

    Friday: A chance of rain and snow likely in the morning...then rain and snow in the afternoon. Breezy. Snow level 5000 feet lowering to 4500 feet in the afternoon. Pass winds southwest 15 to 25 mph with gust 35 mph.

    Friday night: Rain with showers likely in the evening...then showers likely after midnight. Snow level 4500 feet lowering to 4000 feet after midnight. Pass winds southwest 15 to 25 mph with gusts 35 mph.

    Veterans day: Showers likely. Snow level 3500 feet.

    Saturday night: Showers likely. Snow level 3500 feet.

    Sunday: Rain and snow likely. Snow level 3500 feet.


    Sunday night: Rain and snow likely. Breezy. Snow level 6000 feet north and 7000 feet south.

    Monday: Showers likely. Breezy. Snow level 5000 feet lowering to 3500 feet in the afternoon.

    Monday night: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers. Snow level 2500 feet.

    Tuesday: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers. Snow level 2500 feet.

    Scary thing about an El Nino is we can also get 10 to 15 feet of snow in a couple weeks, then the pattern shifts and the moisture comes from Hawaii and we're screwed.

    That's clear.
    The rule I have always heard about trees anchoring a slope is that if you can ski through the trees, they ain't anchoring nothing. And they may actually create MORE instability in isolated pockets. Check out Tremper on this.

    And the best part... this isn't over. If you look at the longterm forcast for the Whistler region at the site: http://www.weathernetwork.com/weathe...2.htm?CABC0322 it looks to stay cold with rain/snow in the valley right through to NEXT weekend. And the temps look to be staying cool enough in the valley to snow in the alpine.
