Hola Lady La Niña Oregon Winter 2024-2025

Schadenfreude Is a hell of a drug.

It’s too bad they aren’t asking patrons to complete their satisfaction survey. I would suggest a surface lift between NWX & WV, and on for CCX to Sunrise.

Of course it would break soon/repeatedly as well.

On the topic of shit breaking, the monitor above the pass readers at SRX wasn’t functioning Thursday so the facial recognition cameras were of no use. Too bad as I’ve taken to extending a middle finger to the cameras as I go thru

Anyone been out to Anthony Lakes this season? Thinking of heading there soon for a long weekend.

Blackhawk low and slow over s side of Hood this evening

[::: :::]

cold but no new -- i am not inspired to go ski hard albeit sunny groom this weekend

[k2skier112]

Me and B are going tomorrow, HRM lot. I skied these sucker's to the car last week. I just happened to decide to check the DIN, and found a surprise. 35 year old Marker M6.1 can fail



I bought these skis because they were $20 on clearance, brand new. There were going to be cut up for ski chairs, but skied too well

[TBS]

Interloper might buy ^^^ (if the waist doesn’t exceed 72mm)

[SchralphMacchio]

I contemplated renting some 72mm skis today.

Not that it’s bad out there by any means, actually quite enjoying my Enforcer 94s. Top surface at the Doo today was very dry from the cold temps but the underlying snow was crazy fast and very firm. Those E94s are the skinniest alpine skis I own and I kept saying to myself “I bet a true frontside rocket ski would be absolutely ridiculous at Mach looney today.”

They're getting new clamps

[TBS]

Just as well. Probably too wide for Interloper anyway

Rent some Stockli lasers or stormrider 88s from le’Doo. I’m running the latter at Mt Brokenchair during this dry spell and loving them - damp with great edge hold on anything short of race-ready

And if you like SR 88s I know of a pair at a screamingly great deal that may well fit you.

I have not skied in more than 2 weeks… ever since dropping a full gallon jug of cooking oil from Costco right on my little toe that hasn't been so little anymore. Yeah, well, I know you all care and I fully expect sympathy cards pouring in my way… and what’s up with this weather *grumble

[interloper]

Just cut the dang thing off and be done with it.

[TBS]

Nice shot J.

I got to spend a cool 40 minutes on Summit chair this AM. Electrical failure when we were halfway up, followed by switch to diesel for a ride timed in glacial epochs while they cleared the line. And I didn’t get a hot chocolate…

It’s always something at Mt Brokenchair - it was CCX shitting the bed the two days prior. Guy I was skiing with is former patroller at Snowbird - sez he’s gonna start carrying his chair evac kit with him. Throw a rope over the haul line and self-belay his descent.

Upper Wynoga was nice once we got there, except for a couple bare/thin spots at the top. Off groom is ice and coral reef.

I just measured them

62mm

Would a tech install my bindings with 90mm brakes?

New bindings on old skis. No.problemo

Those 90mm brakes are gonna hang out a lot. Gonna drag when you lay the ski on edge.

[SchralphMacchio]

Well the cold snap is done with.
Low temps were maybe not so impressive for Mt Brokenchair but decently low at the Doo, two nights in a row of 11F in the lot, and last night with a constant wind to boot. Thank goodness for a 25kbtu furnace, big ol lithium iron battery, and a cylinder full of propane! Stars have been fantastic at least, as has been the dusk magic hour of night skiing, watching 3 Fingered change colors between 430 and 515 pm. I even got to watch a falling meteor while shooting the shit with a buddy after the resort lights shut off.
Good times. Let it snow!

I was thinking about lifter plater would help. They will leave 18 mm per side. The techs say 10mm max

Nice shot A. Hogg Rock looks pretty spectacular as well.
Lack of moisture in the air and lack of terrestrial lights gives us some great night sky viewing - if you can tolerate the cold.

What binders? If Salomon there’s a brake swap threat in Gear Swap.

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 chair
