reweston Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 May not survive. Forecast calls for more rain on Mt Bachelor, then clear, cold temps. Will most likely go from sloppy wet slush to bulletproof sheets of ice. I actually had epic corduroy and fluffy bowls in mind....no, I had that planned. Can anyone do anything about this please?

reweston Posted December 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 figures, it's great everywhere except where I made reservations 2 months ago. Big Bear & AZ Snowbowl have better conditions. Looks like I'll spend my days drinking bloody mary's, playing scrabble, shooting pool, and praying for cold weather :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 I awoke this morning to find out that Mt Hood Meadows is not opening this weekend as previously announced due to rain. SOOOO glad I am going to Sun Peaks for carve camp next weekend. EL NINO SUCKS if you live in the NW! I need to start living vicariously though you Tahoe folks until this gets better.

CarvCanada Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Northeast seems to be having a good start, 20cm in the last 2 days in Montreal area resorts. Even more in Quebec City area resorts. I'd really love to live in the Okanagan one day though, it seems like the conditions are always guaranteed.

mellowjonny Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 D-sub i rode at Brundage in McCall--about 5 hours from Bend. It usually is really good but we had 37" in 36 hours then 24 hours of high 30's with rain. Mike i was makin trenchs with my board, hips and elbows, but the biggest ones were when i would get pitched over the nose. It was so soft we were having trouble planting our hands to push back up off the snow--your hands would sink to your armpits.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pm_wizard Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Northeast apparently doesn't include Toronto..... Latest look at Blue Mountain area shows no snow accumulation. (accumulated base 0, runs open 0, etc.... However as I look out the window in TO it is in fact snowing, just not below freezing!

Had to say that watching the weather and pretending that the hill was not open yet (at least for carving) choosing work seemed to be a better choice. Thanks for the reinforcement of my decision.

As for Tamarack, the area had over 100cm at the base with much more on top until the unusually warm weather hit here. kt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
