Wanted to give the guys up at Schweitzer a huge thanks for being so great to carve with this week!! Their very welcoming spirit really helped to make my first carving experience at Schweitzer awesome! I rode with Russ, Mark and John on Monday and Mark & John on Tuesday. The carving conditions were near perfect on Tuesday and we rode until our legs couldn't take much more...Hope to get back up there for next year's NICE

Good to meet you today Bryan! I am going to head up tomorrow again for a stretch. Look forward to seeing you up there soon...

Hey Jim, Doug T. here...got a few nice runs in this morning with Dan L. It got super warm up there. Our best runs were off Vista. If you are heading up next tuesday 1/22, I will be up there for at least half the day. My friend, who is a skier, will likely be with me. You can contact me at dtitus72@gmail.com or 503-730-2310. Hope you got up there today or yesterday...

Hey Jim, It was nice to run into you and your kids off Easy Rider (I think it was wednesday 12/19). I got up to Meadows on the 22nd and 26th as well. Was thinking of going up today (would have been great conditions I am sure) but instead took my daughter to play in the snow/sled at White River. I remember your saying mondays and tuesdays were good riding days for you. I work every monday but have tuesday 1/1 and 1/22 off. Off chance of my heading up for a few hours during the afternoon on new year's day despite the masses. If you are interested, it would be great to meet you up at Meadows on 1/22. Let me know and I hope that you are getting some good riding sessions in... Doug

Good day at Meadows today (Saturday)...the runs were in good shape and, surprisingly, it wasn't super crowded. Spent most of the morning carving the runs off Mount Hood Express and Shooting Star...kept my eyes peeled for other hardbooters but did not see a single other carver. I'll look for you guys this coming Wednesday morning!

Thanks for the welcome Bryan! Had a great session with Keenan today. A couple of inches of fresh made for some great riding on most of the runs. Rough in spots and poor visibility at the top of Skyliner but overall great for the beginning of December. Sunrise, Rainbow and Outback are supposed to be opening tomorrow (saturday)...Let's hope!

Hey Bryan, Hope this is coming through. I would definitely prefer to avoid MHM on the weekends but usually have the weekends off so, if I go, I will head up there super early on a saturday morning. I usually go up for a few hours on wednesday mornings and I have an occasional tuesday or friday off to go up as well. I'll let you know how the riding is down at Bachelor this weekend....Doug
