P06781 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 It was the last sunny day before the snow before the snow comes back again. The top by cascade was kinda ruff with lots of chicken heads. Vista and Shooting Star were nice , firm yet carvable. I might go again in the mourning with 5" tonight and 6-14" predicted during the day tomorrow. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I saw you up there today. I waved from the chair, but I think you were looking the other way. The conditions deteriorated rapidly after about 1:00pm. Everything refroze to boilerplate, and it was snowing, blowing, etc. I've ridden nothing but powder for a long time, seems like the hardpack took some getting used to.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Mt Hood Meadows has "Extended" the closing date BACK to where it historically has been , April 30th. 22 feet of snow mid mountain. In addition you can buy a Spring Season Pass for 99$. So, if my alpine brothers and sisters from areas that are closing are Jonesin for some turns, take a couple weeks off and come rip MHM for 99$ PS. Good to be home. Photo galleries and videos to be posted in the next week or so. OES was very fortunate to have excellent carving conditions. "Legends" at Donner was during a storm, but a total blast !!! Mike Jacoby won first place on a Burton M8/ M14. Nice surprise visit at the Shasta ski area , a chance to rip with some of the local BOL members.
