I know! These last couple weeks have been by far, the best skiing of the season! Waist deep powder just two days ago. Can't wait for this week, I'll be resting today and hitting it for the next 4 or 5! I was worried during the dry and warm January we were having but...

Careful out there, my buddy was plowing through the waist deep powder. Knee>hidden tree> fractured patella> back board trip down mountain> knee surgery |
coverage is still scant.... really boney down around the hrm chair... pr,s&r,picnic rock, gods wall all require exstreem caution. this next dump should take care of that problem...looks like we should get upwards of 50-70 inches..
we will be up all week again...tracking out the bowls, tree lines and stashes... keep an eye out for slingy stickers on the little womans helemet... give a shout out... we could swap secrect stashes.. have a beer and tell lies |

I was at Bachelor last week and had the same scenario. Winds were blowing so bad had to stop in the middle of the road due to zero visibility. Got to the Mountain and couldn't see the lifts in-front of you. Sounds like Tuesday will be the money for Hood.

Just got back from ski bowl today. Is it possible to have too much snow....? Super deep, wet snow, no winds, still snowing hard when I left. We're talking feet of snow here, not inches. Will be heading out again tomorrow and Wed. The only thing worth skiing right now is the steepest thing you can get to.
