Frikadeller Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I guess I won't be poaching the canyon for a while. That stuff looks like a bitch to skin up. Â Â But then again, they will (meadows) probably send their grooming machines downs the to clean up the mess asap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindude Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Updated, more objective info from the Mt. Hood Meadows blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Miller Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 That might of hurt!! Â The volume of snow, elevation lost and distance traveled is astounding! Â How cool would this have been to observe from a close, yet safe distance. Â Never underestimate the power of nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBo6 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Is Meadows going to start pulling to use the Avylauncher above their permit area now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 How about some historical data?-Anyone care to list some the of largest Avys that have occured within ski area boundaries in WA, OR, or BC? Â Does anyone have any good pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
111 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Is Meadows going to start pulling to use the Avylauncher above their permit area now? Â God I hope not. From a safety standpoint it would be nice but that is a wilderness area and uncontrolled so climbers could be there at any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frikadeller Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Could you imagine seeing a howitzer shell exploding ahead of you as you are approaching the climb on the Wyeast face!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Con Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 We were headed up International atAlpy once when there was a power outage at the pass and all the areas were closed and they started tossing bombs off the cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotary786 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 From reading the meadows blog and what was said in their article on the avalanche it sure seems like they would like to expand their permit area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Meadows has been trying to expand their permit area for probably as long as they have been in operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
