Recovery... I probably will have a bit of ongoing numbness in my left index finger, but nothing that warrants surgery. Maybe it'll diminish over time, but I can't complain either way. I've been able to do what I want to do around the house (digging post holes with a jack hammer, roofing, flooring, drywall work). More sore more easily, but fully functional.

I am glad to hear recovery has been good. Sorry to hear about the numbness, but could have been worse. A CRAZY deal that was. I told the family about it, they all send their thoughts for a full recovery. My little guy is STOKED to ski with your not so little guy!!!

Damn...cannot wait to get up there!!!

But maybe that’s naive

If we’re really confined to HRM, I’m not sure that will satisfy the core riders that would be likely to rush to get there.

If i'm in line at 8 (which I usually am) I'm not there to ski back down to HRM. If at least Star isn't running or gates aren't open, then it's somewhat of a waste.

Go ask the first pro patroller you see at MHM this question. Make sure you have your GoPro on and facing toward them when you do. Post footage here.

189s.
They had the topsheet shown on the website, so guessing this years. Looked to be getting mounted. Didn't spend too much time with them - not right to fondle another mans virgin skis without permission.

I am in need of new ski's, and am leaning this direction also. My snowboard will still happen for the big days, but my current 86" underfoot is not adequate for powder days. (It could be my skills too...) 108 seems to be about right...who knows though. I plan to demo!

Please pardon the polite interruption, Bendites...

I just relieved gepmeow of his old Tychoons. Is anyone planning a trip to the Seattle area in the next few weeks? I'd like to find a ride for these skis if possible.

Thanks

I'll be traveling down and back from Seattle first week in December unless Bachy spins before thanksgiving. Let me know if you want to keep that as a working option..

Enjoy - Tychoons are my daily driver at MtB. First convo with Gepmeow started "hey, nice skis".

They are damp and stable, great for everything except ice and 6"+. Fun to put em on edge for fast big-radius turns. Rocks fear being crushed by their bases.

F this, stay over in main. Hood River folks do not need any more 2wd non-chain wearing slow driving wrecks waiting to happen continuing over the pass in their direction.

I also see this as negatively impacting the number of doughnuts completed in the hrm lot prior to parking. People, this is no bueno.

Whats the over under on the number of x country skiers headed to teacup rear-ending people trying to turn into hrm on a powder day?

When the dirt is moist and the rocks are dry at Oakridge it makes for pretty magical descents. I will say that all the well known trails are accessed from pretty punishing climbs (hence the two shuttle companies plus multitude of people self-shuttling out there). It seems like there isn't a whole lot of riding in Oakridge that has more moderate or mellow sustained climbs more appropriate to my 1x setup and out of shape legs (which are totally fine climbing Alsea and Whypass) ... but like I said I'm still exploring.

Sounds rad! Thinking about heading down to Oakridge or maybe the Bend area for a daytrip this weekend. It has been 70s and clear all this week and the weekend is looking good for some late fall 1-track!

Most of the pro patrollers have no problem with all operations going back to the 8:00 start time. Many of them have worked for my business during the summer and it's been discussed often. It's Meadow's management that doesn't want to pay for an extra hour of labor each day, an extra two hours if you count that they used to be open to 10:00 on nights.

TBS, check, looks like your go pro is on.

QFT - i'd gladly take the extra hour. it's pretty straight forward on non AC days to pull that off. on a control morning would/does/has made it difficult to pull off by 8am and as everyone knows even by 9am sometimes depending on what's being dealt with. if it is something you guys really feel passionate about please write meadows a email and ask for it. surprisingly they actually do read all those emails and comments and take them seriously.

Yo. Those were mine.

In other news, MSP flick at the Volcanic Theatre Pub tonight at 7...not going myself but pretty decent film this year. Not as good as Numinous but better than Rogue Elements IMO.

snow on the cone was good and light but it's borderline too thin to ride without hitting rocks. bring your rock boards or stay down by red chair. the laps off red chair were so light and blower even for only 8"
