Agreed - front side runs were kept up pretty well, NorthWest / Outback had more rocks showing through. the Air Chamber (park) has a lot of bare spots and straw showing, so it's pretty dodgy. I didn't go in the park - partly because of all the bare spots seen from the Skyliner lift! they've been doing a **** poor job of grooming though, IMO. IMHO it wasn't *that* bad! But I'm used to Mount Hood Meadows, home of the worst grooming this side of hell. It's a miracle I ride alpine when I think about it! Well, I think they do a better job on the weekends. I was there on a weekend a few weeks back and it was fine...and in fairness, I was a little grumpy my last day the the day before I had pulled some tendons in my ankle and every little bump hurt until I switched to softies. Still, I'm going again on wed and thurs, cuz hey, it's the only game in town! Have fun next weekend! |

Well, I think they do a better job on the weekends. I was there on a
weekend a few weeks back and it was fine...and in fairness, I was a little grumpy my last day the the day before I had pulled some tendons in my ankle and every little bump hurt until I switched to softies. I know how that is. I sprained my left (front) ankle badly last March, and when I got back out in May, anything but hero groom hurt. But it was all good rehab Actually the ankle still gets sore in softies. No problem on plates. I am trying to at least take a few runs in softies each time out in order to work the ankle. Still, I'm going again on wed and thurs, cuz hey, it's the only game in town! Have fun next weekend! Ain't that the truth. MH Meadows is closed, like they probably should have been last week. You can always run Palmer at Timberline, but IMHO it's still worth it to go to Bachleor. Wish I could join you on the weekdays! |

Surface was pretty windblown and icy. even when I was holding an edge, you could hardly see the track. tomorrow is supposed to be calmer, we'll see. It was strange to see dust storms on the road back down to bend in mid march! |

It was strange to see dust storms on the road back down to bend in mid march! Yep, Timberline is closed today due to winds... I am hoping it calms down tomorrow b/c I have the day off and am planning to ride. Will be at Bachelor Sat + Sun again. |

"David" wrote in message ... Anybody ride Mt Bachelor lately? What did you think? No snow recently as far as I know. It it mostly manufactured? Would I need a rock board? I was planning to go on the 19th, but I'm thinking about making different plans. An inch of new snow in the last 24hrs. Hope it continues... |
