Conditions at Mt Bachelor

David 11 March 2005 07:35:07
 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.

Thanks!! I was planning to go up for Spring Break. 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...

They won't open that road until the last of the snow has melted off of it.

Didn't think it was likely it would be open. 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.

 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...

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 there: 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!

Well, you didn't miss anything today. winds were a steady 35mph with
gusts over 50. 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!>

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.

An inch of new snow in the last 24hrs. Hope it continues...
