Mike T Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Good news! In for the whole thing, assuming there's any snow left by then (Or, perhaps it'll dump and we'll all ride powder! If that happens, I'll be rockin' the softies on my Prior Fissile) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.E Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Really nice, carvable conditions today. A little crunchy in the sun/ wind worn spots, but pretty comfortable most of the rest of the mountain. The little bit of fresh seems to have opened up a bunch of the in-between spaces. Pretty warm still- probably low 40's. I bonked my head and took an early day, but the runs up until then were really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 No wonder you bonked your head, you were in the tubing lanes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 That would have been safer. I haven't just caught an edge in years. Turns out I move faster than the last time I did it. I could actually hear my friend way "wooooowww" while I flew buy him upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerboy Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Is it pretty bulletproof in the am yet? Are the groomers on or off the wagon? (Is it nice corduroy?) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 In my days up this season the trail conditions and carvable snow have been good. I've never had killer "roll the marble" cord at Bachelor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I was at SES all week so cannot chime in. I'll report back once I ride Bachelor again... may not be till Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 @Keenan... where are folks meeting for SNOES and on which days? Back in the OES days we used to meet in the Sunrise lot/lodge/lift. I might recommend we do the same for SNOES... much easier to find each other than if we meet at West Village. Looks like nuthin' but sun and warm temps. We could do worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hey Mike, as far as I know, we haven't gotten that far yet :) Meeting at Sunrise sounds good to me, but do you know if I'll be able to redeem a 3-pack there? Also, TBD, but I may be driving from Portland on Friday, which will get me on the hill on the later side. Could someone PM me your cell # so I can meet up with you guys on the hill if so?

Mr.E Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Dan- you can call my cell. I'll shoot for being there 9/9:30. I'll need to pick up a multi day myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks guys, I have both Keenan and Mr. E's phone number, so will give a shout when I get on the hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kram Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Looking forward to the carving this weekend. Is anyone going to be up on Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerboy Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Guys... I would love to take over Mt. Bachlor with a hard-plate gang of carvers... But, the conditions are not looking good to me. I've got to pick my windows of opportunity as I'm 'married with kids'... In other words I'm not going to make the trip to Mt. Bachlor this weekend I would love to see pictures... ONLY if the conditions suck... Otherwise please please don't rub my face in them .... I do predict snow for March. I've anecdotaly studied the jet steam and it has to bounce back down again... I think that's when we get big dumps of snow... in the transitions from one extreme to the other... Looks like about 7-10 days from now we'll see something interesting, and hopefully white. ... If So, Then how about a re-match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Highs in the low to mid 30's? Sounds like smoothly groomed firm runs to me... I have a good feeling. And yes, I'm posting pictures especially if it's good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Looking forward to the carving this weekend. Is anyone going to be up on Friday? Yeah, we are meeting at the Sunrise base area. I might be a little late, broke a toe bail and stripped a boot bolt in the last week and am scrambling to get repairs/replacements. The snow is has been pretty firm until about 10:30 anyway.

Keenan Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Has anyone been up in the last few days? I see inversion like temps; http://www.mtbachelor.com/24.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I was up yesterday with my 6 year old, and going up skiing tomorrow. Good stuff on the front side. I've talked to a lot of peeps from WA, CA and PDX and it seems we have the best around. New forecast looks like temps aren't supposed to get above 35 this weekend. And yes, if it is awesome, we will rub it in. Edited February 18, 2015 by Keenan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yep, I am on the fence also. My guess it is better than Hood but then it is also allot more expense. Typically I want to have either good pow or good groomed to justify a trip. I definitely need to make a trip to use my 4 pass. Watching condition reports. BTW , the lower slopes at Crystal are closed as of 02/06/15 Mt Hood's Ski Bowl is BARE!! The last quote I heard was we are at 10% of normal snow pack depth.

dangerboy Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 This is my goto app for anecdotal forecast guesses: http://upweather.com 7 days out, looks like we might see the start of something coming down instead of up?

Mike T Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Rode for a couple hours today 10:30 - 12:30. Best carving was on Kangaroo and Leeway. Coverage off the Pine Marten chair was excellent, as is the top 2/3 of the Outback runs. The bottoms of the Outback runs... are showing quite a few bare spots. Death cookies on TBird, never made farther east than Coffee. I expect the grooming to be smoother with the colder temps... albeit firmer snow.

kram Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Two long haired carvers in a white kidnapper van leaving Idaho heading to Oregon. We will be in the Sunrise base area when the lifts load on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
