Current conditions report

Postby PE395 » Fri Dec 02, 2011 9:43 am

With not much weather on the horizon, anyone care to give a general report on the open runs? Skied off boilerplate? Carvable crust? I'm guessing the winds have blown any loose snow to...somewhere. Thanks.

After being sick for the last 10 days I was ready to head out and now it's all flat light, once the sun shines I will get my rear out there asap and give you a report. Until then pray for snow...

Flat light sucks. Good way to get hurt.

Had a pretty bad slam last season at Mt.Hood Meadows running into a 3ft high sharp snowdrift I didnt see until the last second. :@ Up near the top coming off the Vista Express lift.

I saw new, real snow. After years of having season passes at Summit, it qualified as good to me.

And still just crickets as far as my original query.

E-mail convo with a BB realtor today, she told me they got 14" of fresh.

Anybody who can quantify ?

i shoveled about 16 inches.
The runs that are open are in great shape, they need to open more and probably will tomorrow.

I'm surprised more didn't open with that snow and all the snowmaking they've been doing. (SS)
