Sorry for no photos today guys, but there really wasn't much visibility anyway. I never pulled it out of my pocket.
:worthless:
Yesterday was cold, breezy and there was 36" for a base. Surface conditions had improved greatly over the weekend due to 5" of very high quality snow. But I couldn't help but look over my shoulder at some very impressive snowfalls at Mammoth (my alma mater) and then in Utah. But now it's our turn.
Today we finished at 54" and when I left at 3:30 it was pounding and 28 degrees. It looked like some deep and dense this morning, and that was what it was like when I arrived at 2. I was hoping for the magical afternoon session, you know, everybody leaves and it just gets lighter, and deeper and deeper. Well, not quite but it was still pretty good "Mt Hood Powder". Not to our standards but a needed shot of rock covering whiteness. As usual we'll not see the sun until February, but the snow tends to get deep around here and that is why.
For the record: I was on my tried and true 158 Burton Malolo, now my good rock powder board. Wished I had something longer and wider, with lots of taper.
Weather: 28 degrees, snowing hard, wind gusting to over 50+ at the top of Pine Martin (running at 1/2 speed), snow level 4800 ft. It's supposed to snow a bunch more and then maybe some mist? Oh yeah, after that it's back to more base-building snow for a while. #-o
