Waboarder Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Been riding at timberline since Sat. Donek 172 incline Sat.,Kessler 168 Bx Sun. Broke out the hardboots for the first time today. Had a great time!. Groom has been stellar, got pow from the cat all 3 days. No crowds to speak of. Hardboots again tomorrow for 2-3 hrs before driving back to Seattle.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Stop by MHM if you get the chance. Shame you didn't post up before you spent 3 days at tline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waboarder Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Didn't get a pass to Meadows this year, only the Fusion pass and one for Stevens in Wa. Had a Meadows pass for the past 6 years ( out w/ an injury last season) but self employment in the const industry dictated my pass purchaces this year. You do sacrifice some steepness at Timberline but Ski Bowl on a pow day, when it's good makes up for that. Mile to flood, better yet , Palmer to flood is a lot of turns, good grooming and no crowds, it's all good. I'm sure I'll see you around.

Waboarder Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 After riding either pow, slop or chunder at Stevens and Timberline for the past 3 weeks , this am I was finally able to get on some great groom with the new Donek. 20 degrees, partly sunny, great grooming, mile to flood, almost 2000 vert of awesome turns. Could have been a bit firmer but overall a great time. East side of the mile a little firmer than the west. Managed 20,000 vert before heading back to Seattle at noon. Back for next weekend for more hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Cool! Glad to hear you had a good time at Tline!! This is often the best time of year for carving there. Did you snap any photos? See any other carvers ? Most of us ride at MHM until they close. Safe drive!! If you can make time for a stop in Vancouver on your return let me know.

Waboarder Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Bryan, I don't carry a camera while I'm riding but it was a beautiful am. I've only seen a couple of hardbooters at T-Line this season, including yesterday riding pow. Hope to run into some of the Mt. Hood carvers at some point. I'll be down 3-4 days a week for the rest of the season and would love to see the collection. I'll let you know when I have a little extra time on the way down or back. I shoot for Friday -Sunday or Monday on the mountain. Warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waboarder Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Past couple of weekends have been great at Timberline, yesterday was no exception. Very firm 1st thing with the surface holding up well for hardbooting until noon or so. Changed to the softboots and incline for out of bounds on Palmer and made it til 2:30. More of the same today and tomorrow. Spoke briefly with another hardbooter on a Tinkler, " Randy". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday , 5/04 great conditions, blue bird, all day on the Donek metal freecarve, Sat was good til 11 or so when mountain was closed for wind for the rest of the weekend. Friday and sat 5/10 -11 sunny and warm, mountain was soft from the get go. Grooming on Palmer was terrible, out of bounds Palmer was glue from the start. Mile held up as well as can be expected for the temps, 60s in the pm. Best places were where the ski racers had been training and salting. They were gone by noon or so. Hopefully it gets colder at night allowing the snow to snap, hasn't for a week or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow is melting fast but there's a small system moving in late this week which might improve conditions. PM me for more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 12" in the past 24 hrs. 7" in past 12 hrs. Closed for the day due to storming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waboarder Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Had to give up after 2.5 hrs today. Super foggy, lots of new 30 degree snow, HEAVY, Mile and Palmer closed, Norman ran for 1.5 hrs then closed. That left Pucci. It's got to be better tomorrow, Sunday and Monday, though it's not looking to good. May have broken my new Donek FC metal last weekend. It has some suspicious cracks in line with the inserts closest to the tip and tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waboarder Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Todays conditions made up for yesterday. Mostly clear and acres of wind blown pow on Palmer. Groomers looked awesome and i kind of wished i had the hardboot set up but the off piste out of bounds was sick. Todays tool of choice was the Donek 172 incline, Burton Diodes on Bomber Power Plates.
