Default Mt Bachelor any good right now?

Anybody ski Mt Bachelor lately? What did you think?

No snow recently as far as I know, and it seems the PNW has had a bit of a dry spell.
I was planning to go on the 19th, but I'm thinking about making different plans.

"A bit of a dry spell" is quite an understatement. Mt Baker is the only
area in Washington still partially open.

Sad news indeed. You need your ski areas to have a base elevation
needing
five digits measured in feet above sea level. Mt Baker *summit* at
5,050 ft?
Whew, my house is about 250 feet above that elevation. My ski area is
over twice that. I would think the super dense atmosphere would be a
nasty fire hazard.

If we had that altitude, our normal skiing would beat alta. A normal winter
at Baker can have a 2-300 inch base or more of our typical heavy wet snow.
Imagine what it would be like with 10,000 ft ski areas. Ahhh - dreaming
again.
