Looks like there’s some more snow coming toward end of this coming week. Should bond well with the schmoo-ice we have now.
Forecast sez falling temps and snow Wednesday-Friday. Hopefully the snow will bond well to the schmoo-slush before the snowpack freezes solid
Looks like Hood, at least the lowest elevations, will be Thurs when things start to turn, also seems like a gradual falling of temps and transition to snow.
Just working off memory, we seem to get a heavy dose of the Pinapple Juice every year on the snowpack and we also seem to get some deep light days every year into spring. Don’t worry about it our new friend. If it seems like a mess then it’s pretty normal.
Yesterday, the skiing was a hell of a lot of fun at Timberline. Snow felt very spring-like and the weather too, just not the sunny kind 🤣
I’m gonna give it a go this afternoon
Same. thinking of it as Leg Day.Quote:

Really nice skiing snow off Multorpor today at Ski Bowl. Very spring like and then very firm on Mt. Hood Lane because of all the salt the race program spread.
Go was given. Spent a bit of time skiing some corn. Felt like early April. Not bad. The yellow wax worked.Quote:

Awesome day at Mt. A. Spring-like, but what do we expect with the current weather sitch? Really fun. Good times.
Love to hear it. Always appreciate when Siskiyou folks check in.Quote:

We got a room at T line and had an awesome water soaked time. Glass half full - we got our bang for our buck staying during a nasty weather weekend because we could duck in and dry off and change and get back out, so we got a ton of skiing in.

Friday, we got three outings:
Noon-3 was soaked schmoo. I had to ride my Big Pink abomination to be able to keep speed.
Bruno was having his dog birthday party, so we took an hour break and gave him a little snuggle.
4-6 was soaked, but the temps were cooling down, so it was a little faster slush.
7-8 the rain let up to a wintery drizzle, and night skiing was awesome fast slush. I rode Oregondead's monoski, and we had a fun time. Then, we got a fire ripping and dried our stuff for a long while. We brought 2 boot driers from home, and the hair dryer in the room was clutch.

Saturday was pouring hot rain till 10am. Then it let up to a cool drizzle the rest of the day, and things shaped up to be pretty great. We got three more outings:
10-1, we put on our civilized 2 skis and swerved around like the Europeans do. X Games was happening, and it was the debut of the first women's ski knucklehuck, so we were all zooted out in our XXXL gear and hyped to be supporting it and riding there with them on the cutting edge of

My girlfriend, who's still learning to snowboard, came up from the Valley for a day trip to visit us at the lodge, and we ate the buffet and shralped a couple wet laps down the Pine from 2-4.
She left around 7, and we went and closed down Ski Bowl. Things had really cleared up, and it was a nice night! Watched Eileen Gu win the half pipe event at the Ratskeller afterwards.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...920ce78f21.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...edcc15609e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...17ddbc1ad8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...965f589d23.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e3860ab3a2.jpg

Recommended consignment or used gear shops in the Salem area?
Not much in Salem. I've had a little luck at Engelburg Antiks, but not much.Quote:

Thanks!
If you are going to Corvallis then Peak Sports also has a consignment/used shop. They briefly had one here in Springfield but they closed presumably due to poor sales. We also have a Play it Again in South Eugene (I once found some minty 4FRNT 179 Ravens there!) but we are a long ways from Salem. That said, for new gear, tuning, and bootfitting Berg’s in Eugene is both solid and a fixture in PNW snow sports gear history.
Nice weekend recap Allmtn! Good to see the stoke survive the soak.
Salem is dead for all things skiing. Peak in Corvallis is usually pretty light. Peak is better for clothing I would say than gear. I have moved some kid stuff there. Better off holding (if selling) until the Corvallis Ski Swap, or making the drive to Portland or Hillcrest in Gresham or Berg’s in Eugene if buying.
Juneuary at Mt B today. Great spring corn in sunny spots, ice in the shade
The rain kinda did a number on the upper mountain

That’s almost 33% of a full operating day. Pretty solid batting average.Quote:

They gave out free day passes recently for having to hike out out of CCX.
Nw_Skier - Were you here when a chair fell off the rope at Sunrise?
Heard from Red chair yesterday afternoon when it stopped, "hey, there's still some people on the lift!"

Today did not suck at MHM. Firm up high. Primo groomers and soft snow elsewhere.
Frozen slush on top of smooth ice @ the bitch.
