looking to head up with a softbooter (he says he likes to go fast...) i know that it is a less than ideal day (everyone and there mum with shinny new stuff to clog up the runs..) but my schedule prevents the luxury of midweek off peak riding. we are staying the night before in the reed college cabin then hitting it early! weather looks like it will be partly cloudy with a chance of snow. i only ask for nice groomers and some visibility ;) let me know if you want to make a run!

my friend rob and i are heading up to meadows tomorrow. i do not have an all mountain board so i hope the influx of snow will not sink my nose...

anyways... if you are up look for me: olive green helmet, blue coat, brown pants, and a 158... i will be on SS, HRM, or vista and would be down to make some turns!

also, are the grooming schedules predictable? yesterday they did not groom SS but today they did. do they alternate or is it at their whim?

They groom runs off each chair each day. It had probably been snowing hard enough that it did not appear groomed.

The grooming schedule updated each morning. (http://www.skihood.com/Mountain/Conditions/groom.aspx)

May be a while before the groomers will be ideal for alpine riding, bring an all mountain if at all possible. You would have had a really tough time with out one this week. DUMPING!!!!!!!!! (Tankers Rule the PNW!!)

it might be a tough day then because all i got is my little lotus setup, regardless, i will give it my best go... the report says snow at times so perhaps the groomers will not get too covered... are the slopes not packed enough to hold an edge?

well... if you decide to fight the crowds bring along an extra tanker for me ;) actually, i think i would kill myself on a board that big....
