I'm seeing less "mixed" precip for Saturday today. I haven't been up since my "accident" on the 8th.Quote:

Greetings from Whistler... skiing has been awesome the past couple days 😀
I had to rub it in a little
All sorts of funky precipitation coming down at meadows. Glad to finally have some of PR open again!
Light rain and mashed taters on the menu at mtb today
How are the road conditions between Portland and Meadows? Also how are the conditions at Meadows today? Debating going up on Saturday but not sure if it is worth it.

Great day at Bachelor today, if you stick to the groomed runs. It was actually spring skiing. The runs started corning up in the afternoon. 41 degrees in the WV parking lot at 3:30.
Low traffic on the hill, that was nice. Off trail was variable. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.Quote:

Conditions at T line were okay. More sun and less sleet than expected. Temps were hovering right at freezing point. Firm snow and no sense going off the groom.
It's looking like sleet tomorrow, but who knows, with this weather being so unpredictable lately.

Just got invited to Bend for some Bachelor skiing, heard about this ice storm on the radio, and wondering if its even worth the trip? Would be leaving tomorrow skiing Wednesday with some intermediate friends, then possibly solo into the weekend.
Would make the drive for average conditions, but if its terrible I still have time to make an excuse.

Conditions are at least average although that may still be only on piste depending on what happens. That’s pretty normal though.Quote:

Well, red skis are the fastest.

And tomorrow it goes to shit
Twas a great sleeper day

Today did not suck. At all
Carry on
That extra 2000 feet of elevation sure is nice isn’t it? It was nice and schmooey at the SchmooDoo this afternoon. Oddly enough the south facing breakable crust was some of the most enjoyable off piste skiing.
Now I’m out here enjoying the full moon and calm before the ~storm~ *drenching*.

As long as you have no days under snow, you should be good.Quote:

Ullr’s tears will soak the snowpack this weekend
Tears? I thought the old fuck was having incontinence.
Vibes man. Hope you got that chainsaw running right and were able the clean up and that none of those trees hit anything important.Quote:

My boy said his ski goal this year was to grind. Embrace the suck and find fun and achievement in the doing. He picked a prophetic goal this year and we are going along for the ride. “A bad day of skiing is still better than a good day at the office,” WM
Brake out the Frog Togs and let’s get some slush!
Saw is rolling again and helped me clear up the trails & road in our neighborhood. You guys got me back in the saddle quickly, thanks again!

I considered a pvc ski day but I promised my brother I’d measure his house so I’m gonna do that on a soaker weekend instead of missing a decent ski day
I’ll be thinking of y’all

Not to mention it might not refreeze anytime soon. I guess it’s like April in February with shorter days? Fuck if I know, but it seems like a mess. Off piste was like paper mache.
Epic pond skim day at SchmooDoo

Lake Doo that's fukd up. Cooling off end of next week. Back to loud powder.

Think of it this way, it’ll look like less snow but will be considerably more consolidated. 40f and rain isn’t a very good combination to melt snow. The midwinter snowpack can absorb a lot of water.Quote:
