Even with just the few minutes of totality the snow cooled and went from sticky to fun. What a great day. The westward expansion is very impressive. Thanks Loafers

Scored a spot. W00t!

On 27 just south of the entrance

Heading into skiapoca-eclipse... Just hoping for a parking spot!

Yesterday was day 16 at PM. Decent snow, decent groom. Went early, left early. The crowds were growing... After last night's snowfall they should be 100% open, even the typical roped off areas. The ice fishing jump started this weekend... seems winter is in full effect. We got 6" of wet snow last night here on the coast. Mahalo

Flakes were flying at Perfect today. The Summit triple is still down but they filled in a couple of runs so you can take the Sunnyside Triple to the top. If you made an error and went to the west side they have shuttle buses doing laps between the two base lodges. I lapped the east side most of the day. Fun day full of freshies... 6"+ at the start and it never stopped snowing. Rode the Soul 159xt with softies all day... it's like a lil' go cart. The drive home wasn't pleasant... definitely more snow near the coast than they got at PM.

Pleasant had said the Summit Triple (currently the only way to the very top) would be fixed Friday... now they are saying January 4th. Bummer but more an FYI in case anyone's in the area. Looks like I'll be surfing more than snowboarding until then...

Been to Pleasant 4 times since the last post. They really did dodge the worst of the rains. Unfortunately the Summit Triple is broken, likely won't be working until sometime Friday. It was drizzling today, warm... Still had fun.

@Loon The words of the day are soft and wet. Visibility can be low at times... Boarding through the clouds. Rode the hard stuff to start... Going to get softies out of the car after lunch. Happy Xmas all. Mahalo

Rode Pleasant for the first time this season 0830-1100 today. Not as rusty as I expected, hooray! One issue did crop up... I was feeling pressure in my toes like they were pressing on the shell. I initially wrote it off as first day back in shells... But it did worsen throughout my session which was a lot of fun. Really good conditions for the recent weather events. They don't have a lot of terrain open hopefully they'll get some more snowmaking weather soon. So I get home and do some investigating... Nothing pops out. While walking the dog I told my wife about my session and she says maybe your feet have grown. Well as usual she's right. I guess all that time in slaps and surfing* has allowed my feet to spread out. They are half a cm longer and almost that much wider! These shells do not have anymore room to be ground or stretched... And my zipfit liners are thin. I also do not want to loose my toenails! I have a backup pair that are longer and softies. Will be working on a long term solution. *I've been surfing a lot, everyday there is waves I'm out there once and sometimes twice.

PM'd

I want to be empathetic... and tell you I feel your pain. But that would be a lie. As the kids say, "Git' Good!"

I walked over there at the end of last season... they opened up a lot. The shredded chunks were huge. https://imgur.com/mJy6ac3

Sorry @slayermtb Money is sent.

I'll take the 159xt
