DK is getting deep
This was south Eugene looking north across I5 and city lights. It was visible but faint with the naked eye, faint enough that you would have ignored it had it not been all over the news. But the phone captured the radiation so well.
Anyone go outside somewhere truly dark?

Looks like another light show tonight. Moonset is going to be an hour later so it will get better after midnight but it could still be somewhat visible after 10 pm. Last night it ramped up around 11 pm.
Was looking North here in Bend and didn't see anything. But that was just a bit after 10pm last night. Sis sent me a picture of from Kent, WA and it looked a lot like your pic, Schralph.
To be in the mts on snowpack during the magnetic storm. The real deal.

Bend mags, anyone got a line on a summer job for my niece? She's my BIL's daughter - he's been in the Czech Republic (now Czechia) since he finished college and my niece was born/raised there but has dual citizenship and an SSN. She just wrapped up her first year of college, speaks Czech, English, French and Japanese and is wicked smaht.
She'll be in Bend visiting my MIL/FIL for about six weeks from mid-July to end of August. She's been looking for work remotely but obviously six weeks isn't ideal from an employer's perspective and she hasn't found anything yet. If you know of anyone that has a short-term gig around that time, please LMK.
How is MHM holding up. Debating if I want to go up for closing weekend or get the MTB out.

CSX is skiing great, but that’s really all there is
Coverage is good. the lower mtn is sloooow by 10.30
Ski! We were surprised how firm the snow was at 45*
The top 200-300' was glop, then it firmed up up. The bottom 500' was really wet. We left at 11:15
Damn, I posted We were going, but it didn't post yesterdat morning. Would of been fun to make a few runs with you ::: :::
I'm thinking if the current forecast holds up, temperature dropping to 30 to 40F range with the wind picking up a bit to ~20, then the skiing conditions will improve dramatically... fast hardpack groomers early then transition to some good corn that will hold up until noonish or later... hoping for the cooler weekend to ski Meadows to close out the season.Quote:

0830-1100 was decent snow then Saturated. Should stay acceptable for a few days.
TGR tapatalk has required a 45 second pause between posting for a long time.Quote:

Left Dutchman’s at about 5:15 on bikes, started walking up S Sister from Devil’s lake around 6, topped out around 11:15, got back to the car around 4.
Snow was pretty soggy below tree line but nice and firm to the top on the way up, other than postholing on the crampons. S-SW aspect skied perfect up high. Got a little soggy as we turned more SE down low. Dropped in about an hour later than I hoped (was planning on leaving Dutchman’s at 4:15 and booting by 5).
Looks like cooler temps coming by Saturday.

Thanks for the update. You probably werent in the vicinity, but did you happen to get a good look at the Prouty? I wonder how it’s looking this season, am considering it later this month.
I'm planning on going up Middle sister on Sunday and can try and get some pictures if you want?
Thanks - don’t go out of your way but if you get a clear pic from Middle then i would appreciate it. Looks like we are leaning toward Hood anyways but if we end up in Bend we will try for the Prouty.Quote:

Cool, thx for posting that
Early Morning Couloir, North Sister 1:45pm today
Watched this release and run while taking a piss break on MTB ride.
Took a few seconds to realize what I was seeing

It was awful.
yeah the winter came back for a day and I couldn’t resist either… such a treat when clouds blanket the valley below.

The thing about that runnel later in the year is that it funnels all the debris over a huge chockstone at the choke and convexity of the couloir and sends anything in it airborne. I skied it 10 years ago in late June and my partner and I made a plan around that runnel … well he got a little carried away at the quality of the upper turns and ended up on the wrong side of the runnel (lookers right) and at that point it was like 3 feet deep and over 3 feet wide. On less steep and consequential terrain that’s an easy ollie, but not in this case. I was tucked into the edge of the coolie too low to help belay my buddy, and he was trying to figure out how to self belay across that thing … when rocks started coming down the headwall. Anyways that’s one of the few ski days where I was pretty puckered just watching my friend in that situation. He got down okay, and we had a long walk out through the burn area!
You're not my boss.Quote:

All time today for last gas on the spring pass.
Place was packed, but the atmosphere was too good to care.
Bummed to see T-Line Summer pass went up 40%, might be a dealbreaker.
Summer pass is now $1400 (85 days season)*
Spring Pass $199 (78 day season)*...

Got socked in at 8500 ft on Hood on Sunday. Too bad it wasn’t in the cards to ski today. Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes the bar eats you!
First ever shred on bachelor took place this weekend. And while I wasn’t worthy enough to hike the cone, I was able to admire it from afar.
Helped to have blue overhead.

Which was a nice change from the day before.

Made it feel pretty empty at times.

A few people showed up on the last day.

We were able to harvest some fine corn prior to the deluge
