steepconcrete Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 I saw Sunrise is closed due to a avie. Any info? I hope no one was hurt. Quote
Gaper_Jeffy Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 Wow - there's something steep enough on Bachy to slide? Please do spill the details GT! Quote
maxwell Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 We saw avy evidence on the back side of the cone Tuesday (the cirque sort of thing). Not sure if it was patroller, naturally triggered or otherwise, but it had a 2-3ft crown and definitely would'a killed a man dead. Quote
steepconcrete Posted December 9, 2004 Author Posted December 9, 2004 webpage sez sunrise is running again. Quote
gapertimmy Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 the slide started up on the moraine, which is steep enough to slide 8===D and as i hear (wasn't up there today) slid down the summit crossover, and took out a grip o' trees above cliffhanger and avalanche runs (avalanche run living up to its SICK ness). amazingly, this was a natural slide. Â The inner cone has always been prone to slide, I think patrollers kicked that last slide off as they usually do control work in there. but definately, the inner cone is *the* definition of a terrain trip. Â once again, bachy taking sickness to a whole new level. ya'll betta rekignize bish!!!! Quote
iain Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 it's gonna git powerwashed this w-e bish! Quote
gapertimmy Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 i hear skibowl is going to convert the mountain slide into a water slide this weekend. that would be siznick. Quote
Gaper_Jeffy Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Wow! SIcknesssss indeed. If it ever stops raining I'm going to get some of that super sick nordic skating action over there, your Nordic center is about the most badass thing in Oregon--especially the area called "Yubbie corner". Quote
Gaper_Jeffy Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 That for posting the article. My favorite lines were, "until further notice, our guests should stay on the groomed runs". And, "anyone who leaves the groomed trails could expose themselves to hazards". Â Here's another great gaperish line, '"It surely put some snow down," Lomax said. "But the trade-off of having to clear the trees will outweigh the benefits of getting snow delivery."' Â Quote
cj001f Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 That article's minor league gaperdom compared to the Washington Post's and NY Time's coverage of "Backcountry" skiing lately. Barf! Quote

gapertimmy Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 (edited) must say it was a pretty impressive slide... goes to show that you can be on some mellow terrain and still be taken out. sorry for the bad pict its from the cell phone. Â Â Looks like it was 2 seperate aspects slid. The face of the terminal moraine and the gully between the terminal and lateral moraines slid out. one arm of the slide came pretty close to the loading terminal for summit chair. Lots os sick trees to slide on now! Â and another fun pict from today pond skimming at red chair Edited December 11, 2004 by gapertimmy Quote
steepconcrete Posted December 12, 2004 Author Posted December 12, 2004 (edited) Timmay, is that pic of the secondary partol set slide? I was under the inpresion that the big one came out of the bowl? Â Â Edited December 12, 2004 by steepconcrete Quote
