Skied Timberline Today, Meadows Closed

[kb1dqh]

So Timberline was surpirsingly good. All lifts were open, including palmer and the lower ones. Everything that was groomed was good- just soft, wet, spring, packed snow. Coverage is MINIMAL, but ok right now.

I have a Meadows pass, just bad luck w/ this rain- would have been so good 4 days ago. It looks like a bad week for Oregon coming up- lots of precip and warm temps. Oh well... soon enough it will be lots of precip and cold temps.

Platnium Pete and I met up at 6:00 this morning and drove to Meadows. We were not amused.

Did you hike it?

[Platinum Pete]

We were not amused.

This is an outstanding understatement.

We didn't hike, nor did we pout or exact violent retribution on the meadows staff.

Stupid Oregon.

So, where did you NOT hike?

That's good. Last Sunday they only had Pucci open (Molly's was a bleed off using the cattrack). People were getting a bit hostile waiting in line for 30 minutes at the bottom.

Ya, I went online at 6:05am and it was on their site- I was not happy, but prob. muchmore than I would have been had I drove there and found that out.

Otherwise, T-Line must have been much better this weekend; even with all the rain, there's still another 20 inches than before.

However... all going warm this week... soon...

Does the snow level ever stay down in the valley for prolonged periods of time around Govy (does it stop raining in the valley)? Or does it still fluctuate regularly even in mid-winter? I'm headed up there in 2 weeks (from today, actually), so I'm just curious.

Nope, the freezing level wrecks havoc on the PacNW all winter long. It's just not that cold here.

Govy's at Pass level; we do have long periods of freezing temps at Pass level (last December through February). Season long periods? no. Unfortunately we have lots of precip up here, so odds are some of those above freezing temps occur with precip = rain.

Govy = Not in the valley

[cj001f]

Govy = Not in the valley

With the condos poping up and the streetlights & sidewalks, it might as well be a suburb

El Nino can suck off! Bachy is still pretty good. Wednesday was as sick as it gets puking 2+ inches per hour all day. soft and deep, 68" base by wednesday night. Thursday it poured all day and the pow turned to poo. What had been bliss became cement. friday was warm and no precep. Saturday it poured rain again all day. BY today the base was 48", all of what was gained on Wednesday is mostly lost not to mention that the entire bowl cut loose in a massive slide Thursday early that traveled over 1/2 a mile and over 2500'. The bowl is now thin ice and rocks.
