Its been dumping 10 inches a day for several days now, with more in the forecast. Base is almost 100 inches. I want some steep and deep! pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Thu Dec 27, 07 9:10 am     Btw, yesterday was sick up at Meadows. Lots of freshies, plus we ran into quite a few kiters (seems to happen everytime up there.) rich Since 30 Nov 2005 306 Posts portland Obsessed Thu Dec 27, 07 9:14 am     I've been to skibowl several times in the past few days. The snow there is sweet. Yesterday we were laying fresh tracks in waist deep pow off of everything on the upper bowls. I suppose if you have the pass at meadows you wouldn't bother w/ skibowl. But if you don't, it is only $33 bucks. It is hard to beat w/ the snow this good. pacifichigh Since 11 May 2005 1004 Posts ATX Texan Thu Dec 27, 07 9:16 am     I'm JONSING for snow down here! Looks like you all are getting hammered. Kraemer Since 24 Apr 2006 1736 Posts Sky Pilot Unicorn Captain Thu Dec 27, 07 9:24 am     YEs, it was SICK yesterday--Sorry I missed you guys-- but it was so SICK! rode from 8:45-3-- The scoop on heather is: they need 2+ weeks of 70"-80" at least--or more before they will open it. Complete coverage is needed and the whole area need to be stable and covered due to injury & liability issues. However, the snow bridges are in! (guess how I know) and soon, like in a week-or two it may open. Private Reserve was open yesterday (that is part of heather) Did anyone else get any of that? It was epic-- Kataku2k3 Since 14 Aug 2005 3754 Posts PDX-LA Videographer Thu Dec 27, 07 11:24 am     Snowkited 11m in T-line's parking lot last night for a while, but I don't know about Heather! shymac Since 20 Jul 2005 919 Posts Home Valley, Wa. Bigfoot Thu Dec 27, 07 4:41 pm     Got out into Private but you better take a friend because i could see you getting stuck head first and lost till summer... Also a long hike out if Heather is not working. pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Thu Dec 27, 07 9:01 pm     shymac wrote: Got out into Private but you better take a friend because i could see you getting stuck head first and lost till summer...

The bridges over the creek were tiny and scary, plus it was nasty post hole hike out. I hear the upper entrance was a lot better. Forget all this powder, give me a park!
