Staying in the red this week

(with some weird temperature fluctuations that indicate temporary or localized inversion? Just odd to see cold temps & rain icon at some points — today & Fri)
I went to bed with this fx for portland

But that got revised overnight to a more expected yet-still-cold pattern

Little late for a PSA but the usual slick spot below the Sherman camp area on the way to HR was treacherous last night. First time I almost lost it.
Been a little volatile in the CO fcsts too - be fucking careful late today and tomorrow morning in CO: bit of a warm up before getting cold AF again early Tue and staying that way. little layering of density to go with the usual windjacking. Snowing nicely W of Redmond this morning
Models are jumping around a bit, as always, low elevation snow is tough around here. The track of that low is critical. It does look like some warm air aloft could be an issue with some freezing rain. What does look good is big snow in the mountains...Quote:

Ain't that the truth.... We left the hill at 2:00... It took a good 30 minutes just to get to govy and another 20 to get past the douches on the side of the road.Quote:

On a good day flachelor has a couple of lifts spinning.
Several lifts were on diesel Saturday, I wonder if that is part of the early closure notice
I asked about that, they said there wasn't a power outage. Maybe a glitch in the new 6 pack?Quote:

Ears were ringing, vision got blurry, but went away soon. I still made 8 more runs
Gunna get nuts in the Cascades next few days.

Hopefully you'll be OK. I took a hard slam on ice recently. Now I wear a helmet.Quote:

Good to hear you are wearing a helmet. Hope you are good from the fall on ice.Quote:

Tline closed for wind
MtB is essentially closed as well
No surprise there. The wind was pounding last night. Snowing like a mofo at La PonderitaQuote:
7:00am Update: As anticipated, the promised extreme winds and blizzard conditions have arrived making for a challenging morning. Cloudchaser, Skyliner, Pine Marten, and Outback will be CLOSED today
I feel like they should have farmed some more snow to fill in another path down. That single runout was fucking wild.Quote:

Must be a low level wind, Magic Mile is pretty calm...

Almost 100, gas up the chain saws.
Glad to hear the collision wasn't serious. Skiers right of blue = Whoopee.
Similar close call on Whoopee but at the top just below the cut over from Reservoir Hill last weekend with the kiddo. All I heard was the edge scraping snow and then the guy goes flying by a few feet away as I'm looking downhill. Must have aired off the top or lost control, but he was moving. Looking forward to the mountain opening up more following this week.
I kinda wondered which sensor might be off with sustained winds less than 50Quote:

I wonder if a W wind funnels up that slot where the weather station is that's just uphill of Ski PatrolQuote:

Winds on Hood are fucking weird. I can recall going up MHX and there being pretty much no wind at all until you come over the rise at the top, and then it was full on nuclear. Also may times on Star where the wind was coming straight down the path of the lift.Quote:

Two other skiers off to my right about 10 feet from where I augured in that also appeared to have done about the same thing as myself. No worse for where other than my pride being slightly dented as it happened by the chair lift. Getting too old for hits like that though.Quote:

Be safe out there gentlemen.
I love that shot — it’s like the stake is drowning
Yeah, but did you do it on a green run after skiing past at least one SLOW sign while flying uncontrolled through the air past another SLOW sign?Quote:

My ranch is a few miles from there. That would be great. UTV up the service road making laps.Quote:
