Yep I see that - Meadows website indicating they will not open Heather and private reserve on Monday. And HRM and Star express are still down. Hmm, what’s going on? Don’t they have diesel backup on HRM and Star?

HRM backup was down, star was out due to some pretty gnarly wind. PR is going to be a gnarly sheet tomorrow. It was wetpack from the forest park offshoot to the bottom of hrm.Quote:

Is anyone here an above-average-intelligence expert skier from racing or teaching experience?
I'm trying to level up my understanding of skiing physics fundamentals and booked a splurgy private lesson in a few weeks with a PSIA divional staff guy who seems like he really knows his stuff.
I've taken several physics classes in college, so I've got a strong foundation on regular Newtonian Dynamics, but I'm looking for some skiing-specific resources and homework I can do before my lesson so I can come in with a little more theory and get the most of it.
Thx

Can’t speak for others but high altitude math confuses me… This has worked for me though - go straight really fast and when something gets in the way, turn! You are welcome :)
That'll be the instructors job ;) they should be able to look at you and tell you the movements necessary to fix yer shit.Quote:

Thanks for the pro tip! Yeah, all I really understand is that your body's force must balance out the ground's reaction force, and the inclination and angle of your ski makes you turn. But apparantly, there's a whole rabbit hole to it that the pro ski racers get into.Quote:

The carv video done with Ted ligety is also great, but it'd be more interesting to see some of the actual pressure data.
Anyone interested in a group carv unit in 265? One pair and a lot of "training days" with good selection of skiers could show a lot.

NWS out of Portland has changed its watch and warning zones. They have carved the much larger of old into many more micro climates. For instance there is now the ability to give a storm or flood warning to just downtown Portland.
https://www.weather.gov/pqr/newforecastzones
I guess the project goal was to be able to better capture all our little micro climates with the varying elevations and the East Wind factor.
This is interesting because we will get more specific warnings, but as Rod Hill of KGW pointed out, we may not get the alerts from our neighboring zones which we may be traveling to. Maybe they will still push them to the broader area?
thx for sharing that
Bachelor is about to get invaded once again… I see TBS jumping with joy in anticipation!

I’m not a part of the group but I plan to ski Meadows on Wed. and head on over Bend for Bach spring skiing on Thursday and Friday. Looking forward to getting some lessons on the KISS method ;-)

I know it’s not really comparable as it’s different equipment / different scale …
But the *way* they are going about communicating the issues and how they are addressing the customer experience seems to contrast pretty sharply versus the larger hill to the south, doesn’t it? (Really, both hills to the south, I got stuck on Peak 2 at WP for nearly 45 mins during a cold storm last month and Customer Service desk folks didn’t even seem to think that any kind of consolation, cafeteria credit, even just a cup of hot chocolate, or a genuine “I’m sorry we’ve had multiple days of issues on that chair and I’ll ask management for an update” was warranted)

Mt Brokenchair sez Hold My Beer
This is about 1245, 5 min after they opened Summit
Madd Propz to Patrol - they ran all of their AC routes in 2 hours. There were a few hand charges
Yup Hoodoo’s equipment is not as complex as Mt Brokenchair, but Chuck/Matthew also bring a much bigger sense of urgency to the party.Quote:

Oh yeah, Sky went down for about an hour this AM. Fortunately an instructor from MBSEF warned us off before we dropped into Cliffhanger

Delicious left overs for short turn skis.
Word on the hill is Summit was dense wind packed. Maybe Thursday.
Soft funs.

No one works anymore. Keeping this post short, as I have to get back to work...Quote:

Also, I could use a loner setup if anyone has something to spare as I will be traveling light. Something around ~190 long and in the middle fat waist zone. Thanks in advance, I know all about Oregonian hospitality. Holla. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1882f2e0dc.jpg

If you’re passing through Hood River/Hood on the way to Bend/Bachelor, I can set you up with a pair of skis
Real good time scooting around bachelor. Attachment 490507
Thanks G for the beers.
Is this like the “guess where these trees are” photo?
OK I’ll play, looks like bottom of Cloud
Thanks mag. Flying direct to rdm like a baller.Quote:

I just wanna throw out there that altho lindenle has a low post count, he is all Teton mag, a top shelf skier and can throw down pretty hard. He just made a hella mark on the EuroBBI24 shenanigans tour.
That's why he needs some loaners.
Appreciatates any good options from the O bros.
Drinking the yellow jackets I see. We would get along well.Quote:

Lindenle, I got a couple pairs of sticks you can choose from. Demo bindings so we should be able to make them work. Shoot me a PM and I’ll send you my digits.

Is anyone willing to give me the general rundown on if nearby touring options?
What resort oriented passes to purchase in sutton to a meadows pass?.. maybe ikon for quick bird trips etc...?
I'm interested to know what snowmobile access skiing exists as well since i might finally be able to afford one.
Getting pumped. Please PM if beta not appropriate for public consumption. Thx!
