lancegranite Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 In the closing years of the last century, we would ski the southern slopes of Green Mountain. This little beauty was always some of the earliest turns in the PNW, due to slopes covered in heather and grass... Have any of you kids ever skied or made sweet love (like me) on the fine slopes of Green Mtn? Quote
gregm Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 i've skied it but have not made sweet love there. i particularly enjoyed the lower grass slopes that were only covered with a couple inches of snow. just kinda like grass skiing really. Quote
JERRY_SANCHEZ Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 I was there last Sunday and there was some good slopes to ski. We were able to drive all the way to the trailhead but there is about 4 iches of snow at the trailhead. All wheel drive vehicle would be nice but you can probably make it without one. THere is snow on the trail but unless you have rock skies I would not ski the trail below 4000 feet level. There is almost 3 feet of snow above 5000 feet level or at the small lake but the main slope still had some heather expose because it was wind effected. You can still find nice powder on that slope as we did but the best slope we found was on the westside or the slope that was not effected by the wind. That was on Sunday Oct 31st so the slope and road conditions could have change by now. I would go check it out. But go as soon as possible as that road get snow bound very quickly. I may go again this weekend.... Quote
lancegranite Posted November 4, 2004 Author Posted November 4, 2004 May I add that Green Mountain is a good snowboard destination as well. An easy hike leads to nice turns. There are ample places to construct a booter*, and there are numerous small lines to drop. (* a good jump) Quote
JERRY_SANCHEZ Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 There are other slopes I found that looked worth skiing but never have because I never had the time to ski it. THere is a nice northwest slope just above the small lake that looked good to ski. Also at the summit of Green Mountain on the opposite side of the main south face slope there is a long 3K ski decent that looked very tempting to ski but you would have to climb back out of it. Has anyone ever ski or board this fall line? Yes snowboard would be good but I think a split board would be better as there are some flat and up hill sections to deal with.... Also there are not many people go there so plenty of fresh tracks for everyone.... Quote
