Conditions at Mt Bachelor
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. |

I am going this weekend, and will let you know. I was there two weeks ago and did not use my rock board but I probably will this time, I picked up a few minor and easily repairable dings and there has been no new snow since. I expect the front side to have decent coverage on the groomed runs, but the backside to have plenty of hay and rocks showing through. I was at Mt Hood Meadows last Saturday and Timberline yesterday, and both are hurting badly. Mike T |

I keep hearing bad stuff about this PNW Winter. Bachelor's online photos looked OK, and I thought I'd better ask. I haven't been to Hood in ages. Too bad about conditions up there. I just saw the Bend extended forcast for rain/snow on the 19th, so things *could* improve--although I've never actually seen an extended forcast for the mountains hold true. I guess I could go to Bend and ride my bike. If the road is open past Bachelor, I remember amazing dirt up that way... |

Bachelor, I remember amazing dirt up that way... They won't open that road until the last of the snow has melted off of it. |

I see Hoodoo, which I think is the 2nd closest resort to Bend is closing for the season after tomorrow. Ouch! Turns out my plans were for a week later than I thought so a little more chance to get some snow... |

I had an e-mail yesterday from a friend whose in BC, doing a tour of
places like Kicking Horse and Fernie, with some cat-stuff thrown in. Conditions are dire. Worst conditions for 30 years apparently. - Dave. -- The only powder to get high on, falls from the sky. http://www.vpas.org/ - Snowboarding the worlds pow pow - Securing your e-mail The Snowboard FAQ lives here - http://rssFAQ.org/ |

There's been snow in the forecast 7-10 days out all winter long and look
what we've got. There's free beer at the pub tomorrow too... Bob "David" wrote in message ... I just saw the Bend extended forcast for rain/snow on the 19th, so things *could* improve--although I've never actually seen an extended forcast for the mountains hold true. |

Most of the main runs have enough coverage. the Air Chamber (park) has a lot of bare spots and straw showing, so it's pretty dodgy. they've been doing a **** poor job of grooming though, IMO. |

have enough coverage. 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! |
