P06781 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 How's the weather looking Jim? I might? Bryan. It's hard to say but likely overcast with light snow . I will probably go regardless to get a day in . Give me a early wakeup call if you decide to come . Might mount up mikes nsr and give it a shot .

P06781 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Today was actually pretty nice . Rode up to meadows with a tele coworker and cruised around the mountain . Rode my tanker 192 today for variable conditions . One of the lifties said he used to ride sponsored for radair and loved my tanker . He had a retro lam air! Ok conditions were light snow in the am to a little clearing later . It was about 2" new over good grooming . Did a run down heather canyon which wasn't so good as it was moguls . However star was the best with perfect soft carving all the way down ! Overall pretty good day considering expectations for foggy crap .

Galen Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 A little wet and foggy(not actually raining), but it was the 1st day of the season for me so it was still a blast. Mostly packed powder. Supposed to dump tonight, 7-11". We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Thanks for the update Galen. Almost went. Maybe Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_watkins Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I'm heading up tomorrow for the morning at least, perhaps longer if conditions and legs hold out. Hit me up if you're going, would be nice to see some old faces. I'll be on softboots and a 4807 swallow tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Pretty busy, but colder and good powder day. Evidently everyone heard it is going to rain this weekend. Jason. I did see a Rossi undertaker 185, but no OSin, did you make it up? I called out on the radio when I arrived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_watkins Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I got a late start but was there. Deep powder basically everywhere, but it tracked out fast. Did some laps on heather then went down to hunt out fresh stuff on HRM and called it a day around 1:30. Uhg, this relearning thing is rough. Still pretty awkward up there, not really getting into a solid rhythm. Don't think it'll take too many more days to get fully back though. Was keeping an eye out but didn't see anyone I recognized. Oh well, next time. You use a FRS radio? What channel? I'll probably skip the weekend due to crowds, but will be looking to go up early next week if conditions are good.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 MHM has lost 10" of base depth in the past 12 hours. From their site:General Comments: Well... it could have been worse yesterday. The snow was fantastic until about 11:30am, when, just as predicted, the Pineapple Express slammed into Mt. Hood, bringing well over an inch of rain. It's still raining, and the rain is predicted to stay light until the afternoon, when the Pineapple Express will strike again. The friendliest skiing and riding will be early, and if you're up here later, we'll be passing out "Meadows Performance Outerwear" aka plastic bags for you to wear over your high-tech outerwear. Sometimes a Hefty bag is just the right call... On a brighter, happier, and more serious note, snow is expected to return to Mt. Hood tomorrow, with snow levels dropping back to 5000 feet. By Tuesday, snow levels should be back to seasonal norms, with lots of snow falling from 2000-3000 feet on up. Whew... at least this Pineapple Express will be short-lived. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and thank you again for skiing and riding MHM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I looked at the webcam, there were actually people up there. conditions said "sideways rain":eek: wed and thur my next days, looks like it will be much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhD Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Next time I go to Timberline for a race weekend I'm bringing my gumboots! Saturday morning was pretty nice powder until 11-ish, but by noon it was goo. Sunday morning the groom was surprisingly good, but the GS course got rutted out pretty thoroughly in short order and everyone was good and ready for lunch by 1:30.

Mike T Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Looks like Bachelor fared a little better; less tain and not quite so warm. Still, it was pretty goopy yesterday. They claimed to have a few fast and firm groomers but I couldn't find 'em. My 8yo loved it, she worked on her toesides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Hi Jim, it is hard to maintain the professional image when you are bouncing up and down with your hands flailing wildly isn't it? Weather wise I agree. Ross came over today (just left) and gave me a couple of hard hours. Really helps. Galen is pulling up any minute to buy a Tanker for a friend of his up North. Done deal.

jason_watkins Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Sup gents? I'm going riding Wednesday. Hopefully will get a proper start this time and be on one of the first chairs up HRM. If there's enough fresh I'll be on the OSin again, otherwise a natural wood donek (softboots either way).

jason_watkins Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I couldn't find any of my old FRS radios, so I'll just keep an eye out for you Bryan. What time do you usually line up? HRM or Express? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Good day. EVERYONE WAS THERE> Can't believe how many people showed up on a Wednesday? What's up with that? Filled the parking lot again!! 4-6" most areas since yesterday. More like a foot in Heather and areas not opened yesterday. Good , dry snow, nice conditions. Numerous alpine riders I did not see you Jason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
