Gaper_Jeffy Posted March 27, 2004 Author Posted March 27, 2004 (edited) Yo Shred, would you mind telling us the location of your favorite top-secret powder stashes on Mt. Hood? I'm a Californicator (lived in Lake Tahoe previously) who is spending their first complete winter in Oreghan--have sympathy for me! Edited March 27, 2004 by Gaper_Jeffy Quote
sketchfest Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Are you kidding me?? Shred will be skiing those secret stashes long into summer, he won't give those up fo nutin!! Quote
Gaper_Jeffy Posted March 27, 2004 Author Posted March 27, 2004 Yeah but I'm from California and I drive a big SUV. Doesn't that mean I should get special treatment? Quote

Thrashador Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 There was freshness to be had Friday night at Da Bowl; we just had to ski in the dark and past the closed signs. Quote

Gaper_Jeffy Posted March 28, 2004 Author Posted March 28, 2004 (edited) Hoody Meadows was yesterday's destination. They did indeed get 8"s however there was some remarkable funk going on in the snow, did it fall that heavy or was it just super wind affected? Either way yesterday was not a softshell day, not becaue it was wet but because the wind was absurd. Which brings me to my next point, I'm not sure what I was more disappointed by: the snow, wearing a softshell or forgetting my wind meter. I left at 11:30 to go skate skiing. PS: Jack's Woods opened right before I left, for those who skied it was it as heavy as elsewhere? Edited March 28, 2004 by Gaper_Jeffy Quote
marylou Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 We were too late. Sat night at Ski Bowl, raining to not raining and heavy. Broke my own rule about not skiing in the rain. Today back to the Ski Bowl, which is startlingly reminiscent of Ski Acres, for full on spring slushiez. All in all neither the skiing nor the conditions hoped for, but our three compatriots with their "power snowplow" technique got a good workout on black diamond groomers, and a few tips (like get some weight on them! don't look at your skis!) and an all-in-all fun weekend of what I affectionately call "family skiing." It was downright HOT up there today. FWIW there is an online coupon for Ski Bowl, half off, (on their website) so it's as cheap as it is low-quality. Quote
