Any Meadows insiders know the status of the heather chair? With the pattern change coming I am curious if it has been cleared to run since the tree(s) came down on it.
Mmmm… pattern change. Bring it on, with or without the heather chairQuote:

I'm actually hoping Heather isn't up and running for a couple more weeks if we get a good series of storms. I miss the "classic" Heather experience.
The chair made it too easy for too many...bumps in Heather, yuck
Friends don’t let friends traverse across the slope! Ski the fall line.
Maybe no heather chair slows down the slopes getting tracked out from descending traverses
Any word on who bought Bachelor?

I'm all in on a heather ghost town. I think the powder deprived masses are not going to be deterred at first.
Who’s suing MHM for $sixM?
Theodore S. Plowden-Wardlaw
It was around this time that the mescaline really kicked in
$6 million for a broken tib-fib and two broken ribs seems a little excessive…
But they were his two favorite ribs.
Le tits now
Daughter has a race next week (7th and 8th) at Meadows. Are there any discounts I should be aware of (REI, Costco, something else)?
Or if any mag has a way to get me (and the wife) a good discount, there is a Stevens voucher good through next season in it for you.
I
Name sounds about right for somebody who’s gonna sue.Quote:

It used to be that if you volunteered to be a gate judge or some such they’d hook you with a day pass voucher. Might be worth asking the team if visiting parents can do that (MHM hosting means MHM team parents are likely getting their requisite volunteer time in). Also, visiting teams were sometimes offered discounts for parents accompanying visiting racers. Not sure how that all happens anymore but seems worth checking with team organizers…
Not a bad Friday morning at the mountain with broken chairs.

Could still feel the hardpack underneath and it was puking the whole time.
On the heavier side of medium density.

No chain controls on Santiam today and temps are about 4 degrees warmer than forecasted. Only 2” overnight in the Schmoodoo lot. Friday was thick concrete, I only skied 4 runs (also had some schedule conflicts and am fighting a cold so I wanted to save some juice for today). It never rained at the Doo but parking lot temps were 34F all day until like 10 pm, the lot was a giant slurpee.
Mt. A with about a foot over the last 24 hours. Fluffy stuff is skiing great. Come on down!
Not quite as forecasted but fun to have some fluff.
Elk skied a hair crusty but not as beat up as Moon Bowl — both fun tho. The runout was fine, I mean awful, not ready for crowds in Heather [emoji2]
I wonder where Meadows get their numbers… like when they report 6” it skis like 2” and vice versa for Bachelor or Cryster. High altitude math can be so confusing and misleading.
[QUOTE=thefortrees;7191553]Friends don’t let friends traverse across the slope! Ski the fall line. /QUOTE]Solid advice right there.
Ended up being way better than expected at the Doo. The winds slowed down overnight so all the south facing exposed stuff was able to accumulate overnight and buff out today, as opposed to Friday when it was sheer crust.
Still thick and heavy but very manageable and fun, especially given that I was on new-to-me Billy Goats that want to go Mach Schnell in high density pow. It was definitely busy here today - not so much in lines, but just a very full parking lot and lots of powderhounds out schralpin the usual spots.
Skigee morning … helluva good rime
Rime stopped at 10 am and it started snowing nice dendrites at 1115. Gonna be a great afternoon, and tomorrow should be solid for anyone sling anywhere!
Pretty fucking cool to see all the gates open at MHM!
Mt Brokenchair shows the way to customer satisfaction programs.
In December, people stranded on broken chairs got a free day pass.
In January, they got a free coffee or artificial chocolate drink.
This month it’s a free FastTracks pass. So you can get on chairs that frequently break ahead of everyone else.
Genius!!!
Hmm I've yet to ski the Heather canyon this season and it's February already. All the gates at Crystal were open since yesterday and snow staying light and fluffy and almost wish it 'd be little denser so as not to punch through the crusty pack underneath... Powder days at Crystal is something special... one more day to go.

MHM just gave me a free pass for being rope evact. I asked for a voucher, assuming it would be for a hot chocolate or some lame shit. Tomorrow is my last day at Sun Valley Then off to Jackson</p>

Big fun at the Pass. What a difference a week makes. </p>

WP getting some of those Brokenchair vibes and couldn’t run EPA due to a mechanical issue. Something about the way the chairs were being reseated on the cable. That said, given the Heavenly accident I’m glad they didn’t run it. Just kind of a lamer day only skiing mid mountain on the front side.
Mtb was outstanding- wind buff and tree pow bell to bell
^^^Today was best snow of the year for me. Effortless waist deep blower pow made my weewee tingle.
OTOH viz was CSS in the untracked from lift tops to about 6700’ - felt like I put a white sheet of paper inside my goggles -just had to trust and go.
Fortunately, that trust paid off more often than not for me. Sun hole late afternoon was super sweet way out west. That said, watch for a touch of sun effect tomorrow.[ATTACH][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]][emoji637][emoji637][emoji638][emoji637][emoji640][/ATTACH]Quote:
