    Yes sir, we have at least 2 trips planned. I will keep you apprised.

    Recovery... I probably will have a bit of ongoing numbness in my left index finger, but nothing that warrants surgery. Maybe it'll diminish over time, but I can't complain either way. I've been able to do what I want to do around the house (digging post holes with a jack hammer, roofing, flooring, drywall work). More sore more easily, but fully functional.

    Happy to hear that, well except for the numbness. No need for surgery unless numbness causes you to drop stuff all the time.

    Lookin forward to skiing and feasting with you and the fam this winter.

    I see most people getting in one hrm lap then waiting for shooting star to open. Why not just open the whole mountain at 8:00 like the old days?

    I am glad to hear recovery has been good. Sorry to hear about the numbness, but could have been worse. A CRAZY deal that was. I told the family about it, they all send their thoughts for a full recovery. My little guy is STOKED to ski with your not so little guy!!!

    Damn...cannot wait to get up there!!!

    I assumed that patrol would clear the hill by 8:30a and star would be open

    But maybe that’s naive

    If we’re really confined to HRM, I’m not sure that will satisfy the core riders that would be likely to rush to get there.

    If i'm in line at 8 (which I usually am) I'm not there to ski back down to HRM. If at least Star isn't running or gates aren't open, then it's somewhat of a waste.

    Go ask the first pro patroller you see at MHM this question. Make sure you have your GoPro on and facing toward them when you do. Post footage here.

    189s.
    They had the topsheet shown on the website, so guessing this years. Looked to be getting mounted. Didn't spend too much time with them - not right to fondle another mans virgin skis without permission.

    I am in need of new ski's, and am leaning this direction also. My snowboard will still happen for the big days, but my current 86" underfoot is not adequate for powder days. (It could be my skills too...) 108 seems to be about right...who knows though. I plan to demo!

    Please pardon the polite interruption, Bendites...

    I just relieved gepmeow of his old Tychoons. Is anyone planning a trip to the Seattle area in the next few weeks? I'd like to find a ride for these skis if possible.

    Thanks

    Enjoy - Tychoons are my daily driver at MtB. First convo with Gepmeow started "hey, nice skis".

    They are damp and stable, great for everything except ice and 6"+. Fun to put em on edge for fast big-radius turns. Rocks fear being crushed by their bases.

    F this, stay over in main. Hood River folks do not need any more 2wd non-chain wearing slow driving wrecks waiting to happen continuing over the pass in their direction.

    I also see this as negatively impacting the number of doughnuts completed in the hrm lot prior to parking. People, this is no bueno.

    Whats the over under on the number of x country skiers headed to teacup rear-ending people trying to turn into hrm on a powder day?

When the dirt is moist and the rocks are dry at Oakridge it makes for pretty magical descents. I will say that all the well known trails are accessed from pretty punishing climbs (hence the two shuttle companies plus multitude of people self-shuttling out there). It seems like there isn't a whole lot of riding in Oakridge that has more moderate or mellow sustained climbs more appropriate to my 1x setup and out of shape legs (which are totally fine climbing Alsea and Whypass) ... but like I said I'm still exploring.
    Sounds rad! Thinking about heading down to Oakridge or maybe the Bend area for a daytrip this weekend. It has been 70s and clear all this week and the weekend is looking good for some late fall 1-track!

    Most of the pro patrollers have no problem with all operations going back to the 8:00 start time. Many of them have worked for my business during the summer and it's been discussed often. It's Meadow's management that doesn't want to pay for an extra hour of labor each day, an extra two hours if you count that they used to be open to 10:00 on nights.

    TBS, check, looks like your go pro is on.
