dhamann Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 (edited) ya. the video quality is pretty bad, but what an amazing last six days it has been! we got some phone clips so just put together a little thing here to share. we finally got a few days of mid winter conditions and good grief am i beat. definitely missed some folks this time around, but maybe next year. for those that made it, you know this hack job of a video doesn't do it justice. a tip of the hat to all! Edited March 22 by dhamann edit for some larger screen clips and a few changes. yes i know music clip stops short. run whatya brung 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Norman Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Yo Loafers!, I just got some tix i need to use this season. Do you think the mountain will be open and worth a trip after the reggae fest? I'm blocked that weekend. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhamann Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 @Spiny Norman most have given up after reggae. by most i mean the whole town, restaurants, services, etc.. ie. likely some of food "specials" if you can find something open. can be 50/50 for any kind of service. BUT they'll likely be spinning through April. bring everything you think you may need like if you're camping or backcountry with lift access. its a tall order this year, but making it to May is the standard goal. "king of spring" don't expect much grooming, etc. it's a scene and always fun to ride in the spring there. going to try and make another short trip up myself, but 50/50 at this point. *don't tell anyone.

Jack M Posted March 22 Author Report Share Posted March 22 I'd go before Reggae if you can. 30" of snow since 3/10 have turned things around, and another foot is predicted tomorrow. But next week it gets mild and there is r*** in the forecast. The weekend after Reggae they usually have the pond skimming contest, so things will still be going then weather permitting, but don't expect any carving.

big mario Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 That and a few others that I saw last week. That amount of snow is so insane for back there.

Jack M Posted May 2 Author Report Share Posted May 2 Get ready for Timberline Express 6... https://liftblog.com/2025-new-lifts/ It should run on the same alignment as the current Timberline, but extend down to the elbow in the new trail Chipper. That way you'll be able to ski down to it from Bullwinkle's or Bucksaw Express. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
