www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Big snow again last night, roughly a foot overnight followed by heavy snow in the am. Sun glimpses by 11 am. CRAZY start, MHM Express was moving but had electrical issues. So everyone lined up on "Blue" chair. Rumours and updates were squelched by "Skully", probably with out a doubt the best Lift Maintenance guy I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He was everywhere putting out fires. DEEP!! Face shots, cold and very selective winds. Fairly high on the tops of the lifts and not bad once you started down. Cascade and Vista have not run for days. Bryan Photos, Me, bottom of Blue at start. View from Chair #2 View from HRM , getting tracked fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Sunny in the am, 2-4" of new dry snow. Met up with Mike T. Jim M. Randy K. Dan, Dane and Mark from Idaho. Had to hunt a little to find some groomers , but a good morning was had. Snowed around 11am or so. On to SES!! Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubaree Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Went up and got my spring pass today and rode with Bryan and Mike T. Had a great day just wish I would of thrown in my 4807. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Big snow, small crowds, didn't expect it to snow two inches an hour on arrival! Started out on firm groomers with an inche or two on the front side of the ski area. Quickly went to 2-5" depending on where you were. Tested our alpine prowess with low vis and fresh snow. You did great handling it on a Factory Prime Ross!!! Maybe it was by because your proximity to Mike? Maybe your just a natural? Either way, pretty impressive for a new hardbooter. Good to see Mark and Dane of the Idaho Possie on their return trip. Dane, thank your wife for the MOST EXCELLENT cookies!! Safe journey home my carving brothers! Good fun either way, thanks for the PUSH in the am!! PS, I like your new Avatar!! Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan, I think you will find the conditions to be excellent Friday. Be sure to check out the Vista areas. They were really smooth today. Enjoy!!!

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 2-4" overnight. Moderate winds and snowfall off and on all day. Lower Heather opened up around 10 and was better than I expected. Blown in and smooth. Bumped into Jim M. showing his relatives around. Old friend Tim F. was cruising the pow on the Tanker 200cm. Rider in Heather Canyon fell into a large hole at the base of the lower waterfall, he is ok. Not the big snowfall that occurred over the weekend, but allot less people too. Should be good in the morning if they get the 6-10 forcast overnight tonight.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Luck of the Irish!! Deep pow, storming, weekday busy but not bad for a pow day. Wind lips caught a few off guard (including me!) Tankers RULE! Photos later. Dan L. Randy K. Ross E. Myself and rumour there was a couple more hardbooting powder rippers at MHM. I didn't see them, but it came from a good source. Good day!!

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 From MHM Website. LIFTS SCHEDULED DAILY THROUGH APRIL 26 NIGHT OPERATIONS HAVE ENDED FOR THE SEASON LIFTS ARE SCHEDULED DAILY FROM 9 AM - 4 PM. THIS SCHEDULE MAY CHANGE AS WE GET INTO THE LATTER PART OF THE SEASON. Sounds like a bit of a contradition on the "Scheduled Daily" I hope this means we are good for "Daily" till April 26 and then week to week on the weekends only from then on? Still plenty of time to make a 99$ Spring pass pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Bryan, they might change their hours of it gets warmer. Some years in the past I think they closed at 3:00 instead of 4. Bachelor has been doing 8 - 1 after mid-April for years now, and except for NW and Leeway, the snow is usually pretty slow by 1 anyway.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I was looking to take advantage in the "Space" between the week storm systems. It was teasing us yesterday :) and today on the mountain was no different! Sunny and no wind was the 5:15am report, 1 inch overnight. It was in fact pretty sunny upon arriving. That didn't last very long. There was actually areas with 4-6" of blown in snow, on hard surface. Groomers were pretty smooth, however, variable condition. Soft, as in sink four inches in a turn then icy on the next. Some of the normally good runs were covered in icy chunks the size of quarters (S/S Ridge). Only saw Mike H. are hard boots. Good day overall but not a hero day by any means. Kids started to take over late morning, spring break you know! Bryan Fresh snow Tuesday? Probably just enough to ruin the groomers and tempt us to go off piste and get roughed up a bit. Stay tuned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
