E-rock Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 Comeon you guys! Nobodies been getting jazzed about the upcoming season lately. All this gear talk is uber-boring. Post some pics, some links some videos, some radar screens, whatever it takes. I"m to busy to ski right now anyway, but I know the snow is coming. It's just heading south right now, it'll be here.

E-rock Posted November 8, 2003 Author Posted November 8, 2003 Here's what it looked like at Alta yesterday. Can we be far behind? Quote
snoboy Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 It's hard to get jazzed up when it looks like this Quote
iain Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 conditions on the eliot glacier today. looks like some sick lines Quote
gapertimmy Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 somebody's closer (to RIPPIN IT UP that is): Quote
Lambone Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Mt. Ashland this morning! 17" of freshiez...cheers suckaz Quote
Fejas Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Nice... I haven't skied ashland before, but I got a girly friend that transfered there for school... Planing on shedin the wee hill soon though.... Quote
Lambone Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 I'd rather have a wee hill than no hill...I think Mt Ashland is way better than any lift served access at notsnowquality pass, and not far off from Stevens. But mostly I'm just glad that it is 20 minutes from my house with no traffic bullshit to deal with.... Quote
Fejas Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Thats way cool... I gots to drive further than that to get to another wee hill up willamette pass... hour and 15... hood and bachy are just around three hours... same for ashy, but I heard that half the MT is pretty steep down there... Quote
Lambone Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 More than half is pretty steep. They are trying to expand it to add more green runs...how sad but lots of the ashlnd liberals are against the expansion, it is sort of a hot topic around here... Quote
Fejas Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Lambone said: the ashlnd liberals are against the expansion Boy-howdy, and there is a lot of lib down there too... ashland is like the eugene of southern oregon... course I'm from eugene, and I would push for epantion. I mean they already use a lot of the mountain, might as well use all of it... there is talk of an expantion on willamette pass too... Quote
lummox Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 (edited) more ski lifts! Link to vaguely pornograpic image, maybe NSFW. Edited November 11, 2003 by snoboy Quote
rbw1966 Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Hey Lambone--whats the backcountry skiing situation like down ashland way? I'm jonesin and may head down there. Quote
Fejas Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Sources say that the base level snow at ashy has resided to about eight to nine inches... Quote
Lambone Posted November 12, 2003 Posted November 12, 2003 Hey rbw, You might get some good turns in at the highest elevations around here. Mt. Mclaughlin, Brown Mt., Mt Ashland, and Mt Shasta will be your best bet. Keep in mind this was our first real snowfall, so you will be skiing on top of volcanic shale with a 17" base, possibly less since it may have melted some. Expect pretty wet snow, which makes for a good base, but less than good turns. On Sunday my wife and I drove up to Mt. Ashland with our mountain bikes (14 mile downhill singletrack to our doorstep)... But with almost 2 ft in the parking lot we felt pretty stupid. People were pulling skis and boards off their cars and here we are with bikes...everyone was laughing at us. I pulled a U and gunned it through the wet snow outa there. What a gaper move! Thats ok, 500ft lower we were ripping moist mud. Quote
gapertimmy Posted November 12, 2003 Posted November 12, 2003 i'm so effin stoked right now it ain't funny. time to go watch soem ski pron Quote
