The Chinook Express & Forest Queen lifts are open from 9am-4pm. All other lifts are closed until further notice." Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Yeah, it sucks. Even though the brunt of the rain will ease off in the next few days, it looks like we'll have unseasonably warm weather at least the next week. Quote

gapertimmy Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 fkna who's up for pond skimming? perhaps the one good outcome of a sub-par snow year: cheap hardgoods Quote
iain Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 if I'm not mistaken there are people on the lift there. thats core. Quote
joker Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 when I lived back east there were times when this was the best we could hope for - it would soften the "frozen granular" (what just gets called pure ice out here) into something more like early corn. good gortex test too. but the lifties kinda look at you funny and tell you to go home...

MisterMo Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Oops, my bad. My other pic would be wake boarding. This would be current kayaking: Quote
korup Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Does anyone out there remember the winter in the mid-70's? How does it compare with this craziness? Also, can anyone remember another time when so many resorts closed for wahile mid-season? Quote
