P06781 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Now that my MHM pass is over except for weekends went up to Timberline this last monday for some recon on the palmer snowfield. Didnt buy a ticket but used approach skiis for a possible summit trip. The palmer and magic mile looked great with tons of snow for this time of year. The palmer has hardly been groomed yet with only a lane or two buffed out but looked nice and smooth for the early birds. Ended up summiting Mt Hood and rode a Tanker down from the summit at 2pm in some nicely softened snow. Headed towards the top of illumination rock and followed the zig-zag down to the cut back towards the top of the mile. Someone is setting up the largest snow camp I have ever seen at the base of illumination rock with 15-20 people building a igloo city:confused: Anyways it is a fine time to make that trip to T-line for some late season riding.....

Galen Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Too warm today. Got first turns on SN and west side of MM. Was sticky at 9:30 on the Palmer! Lifts were real slow cuz of the wind I guess. Car therm said 70 when we got back a little before 10.:lol: Looks like it will be cooler for you next week if you can dodge the rain.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCrimson Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 That's just wrong. Those glades have been mostly bald since March. Now they have the last of the snow. And my carving run is naked. Perhaps I could move in with one of you guys? I'm pretty much housebroken and I don't smoke....often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
