Hotel in Bend if you can find one is the ticket.
This storm cycle is coming in alittle later than forecasted. Should be decent for this weekend. Partly cloudy and cooling off at night. Drop by the Demo shop at West Village and say yo to bdog.

What a difference a day makes! :( The pow, all the luscious and wonderful pow has turned to poo. :nonono2: Warm air flowing in aloft scoured out the remains of the arctic front that has blessed us these past many days. Very wet snow, high winds (sustained at 60 nauts) top of pine. some rain. Off piste is brutal. BC adventures unthinkable now with a good brakable crust of several inches over an average of 18" of unstable snow. The current moisture should percolate through the snow pack and create some stabilizing as ambiant temps moderate over the next few days. So ... the upside is we should have a solid base upon which to build during the next storm cycle. The downside is .... you missed it, shoulda' been here yesterday :wink: and the day before and the day before that etc.
Damn it was sure fun while it lasted eh? More to come later on.:DQuote:

bdog says- Off piste is brutal.
Now that's what I'm talking about.;)
GOD I DIDN'T NEED TO HEAR THATQuote:

Thanks for the info!!
We still may end up there but Utah is now in the mix too :confused:
Yep Mash Potater conditions at Willamette Pass today...raining almost all the way up to top of the 6-pack (~6,666ft). First few untracked runs were pretty sweet though....just a bit thick. The new Gotama teles were fun. At least I skied for free...that's right - they didn't have the turnstyles going!! Heading to Kauai in a few days...I'll try not to bring back any pineapples.
