  1. I never complain about the wether around here, having grown up in Cincinnati Ohio, nothing here comes close to how bad it is there. There is one exception, I FUCKING HATE INVERSIONS! They are a normal this time of year. I've seen them last up to a month. Cold damp and poluted down here while the snow melts away in the warm sunny mountains. The inversion will start tomarow night and last how long..... I bet it will break Thanksgiving Day. I will buy a bigdrink.gif for the person who comes closest.

     

    It will end the 27th. wave.gif

  2. Can someone give me the rundown on milages from where they gate Hwy 20 to the pass, pretty please.

     

    -Don't remember exactly, at least 5-6 miles. It's gated about 12 miles west of the Mazama turnoff.

     

    Who's gone up there in the winter?

     

    -I have.

     

    Any tips or tidbits of info to share?

     

    -See specialeds "tip".

     

    How long did it take you and what did you accomplish on your trip.

     

    -Minutes, at 60-70mph. Splitboarded by Cutthroat and Bluelake. It rocked.

     

    Thanks for the info.

  3. Aha, as a snowboarder I find this gratuitous and inexplicable slaloming very confusing and strangely hypnotic. I'll be cooking along, and the skier way off left or right of me will all of a sudden sweep in and blindside me. I'm sorry sir, I hadn't realized that this run was your private playground! For god's sake, LOOK WHERE/BEFORE YOU TURN!

     

    Exactly!!!

     

    I find "ski" areas annoying...

  4. scottp took my 'west face of peak-a-boo tower' suggestion but it's worth re-mentioning.

    has a lil bit of everything on the last pitch and when you top out it has a true 'tower' feel about it. most people split off right at the start and finish lawn darts or yard art which are good too but a bit more popular.

     

    Have you done Scarecrow? (opposite side of Peak-a-boo) It doesn't suck either... Lawn Darts is an awesome slab route that would see a lot more traffic if it was in a more accessible location.
