Through about February 6, unfortunately yes.

This taken off an email just received from a friend in Nelson/WH20:
"Places are open, but it's warm. Some colder temps and snow for the weekend, I'll email you when it starts snowing"

This season sounds ominously a lot like the so-called 1976 year we've all heard about. FUCK.

Funken, I think I have worked a deal to get Monday off work- I'll let ya know.

Mammoth has gotten 13" so far... wanna make the trip even further?

Mammoth kicks ass. If touring is to be had, I'd rather do some touring around Mammy and save the lifty stuff for T-Ho.

BTW, I think we are pulling a Mammy '94? in the PNW- I think it was about '94 (sometime in the mid-'90's) when they had no snow through February- then were finally able to open on a manmade base President's Day weekend- before getting some good storms in late Feb., March & April.

Edit: What's another 2.5 hours after driving 13.5?

tell that to your ass during your 14th hour of driving....

so, with things being this bad in OR and BC...how in the fuck will Whistler and Hood stay open all summer?

I was thinking the same thing. Judging by how low Palmer got this fall, if we don't have a big spring, T'line's in trouble for their summer season, which I'm guessing makes them more money than their winter most years.

If you go to Mammy, lemme know. My brother (Yardsale) is working/living there.

June, July and August are something close to half of their revenue - which is why they've set up the windfarm on east palmer. Could be grim

Hmmmmm, 1976 was the year WH20 opened and we've never seen as much snow since. The "kick in the head" on the Blast was dug out and had four foot walls on either side. I hope that's the ominous sign your talkin bout, cus it looks like April right now!

Shit, if WH20 looks like April
Ullr has completely avoided us all year. WH20 is still on the books for a return trip in either Feb. or March. Need to get that snow machine cranking cause there is absolutely no hope in the PacNW of salvaging this season.
At this point a 6.5-7.5 hour drive for good snow is very do-able.
