It was caused by a massive gas leak. Had to shut it down and in turn a lot of distribution. But we are working hard to get everything back to normal.

My group personally doesn't. I did receive a bunch of emails saying "be ready to do anything to support" though. Not a great time for a leak that is for sure.

Current forecast for Hood is 6-10" of new with highs in the teens on Saturday & single digits on Sunday. I have a comp to work on both days and I've never wanted to see our events cancelled so badly.

Meadows was at least nice to ski tonight. They have canceled at least one bus from Portland, so your event might also be in some crosshairs. Supposed to get between 3 and 4 feet on Monday/Monday night. Monday is normally my favorite ski day, but I may have to miss this one.

We make those decisions, not Meadows, and we have postponed our slopestyle until March 3rd.

The snow is supposed to linger in Portland for a week or so. I'm already anticipating missing pow turns because I'm sitting in a company truck for hours on end waiting for crews to take control of the scene on Wire Down duty.

Well I got some boots for the BC. Ended up with some Roxa. Really liked the fit and nice to have intuition liners. Ended up getting "girls" boots but honestly they fit way better than all the guys boots I tried on.

(I did sort of end up doing this in that I worked out for like 20 minutes and then sat on a mat playing on my phone for another 20)

I already promised to come up to training tomorrow and the arctic outflow is staying for an extra 24 hours and urrrrrggghhhhh

That is where I learned! Haha. Mostly at the highlands. When I was about 11 ish we started going to nubs. I think I never went back to the highlands after that.

Jealous. I learned at Cannonsburg (no pics but imagine a teen in the 80s in a bright red jacket and jeans) and trips to Boyne Nubs or Crystal were treats

Also Colorado goons please send some snow up our way TIA

Well, It's been snowing since 2pm in Vancouver and we got 2" already. Everyone is driving at 5km/h and my 10 minute drive to work took 40 minutes.

Fortunately for Portland, the storm came in warmer than forecast. Unfortunately for Hood, the storm came in warmer than forecast.

It's still mid-20s up there, but the blower we got over the last few days was incredible.

Where should I eat in Steamboat? Looks like there are some decent options.

e: a snowboard makes a pretty handy shovel when someone fishtails into a snow bank and you stop to help dig them out.

We had a memorial race for Hedda, the young ski racer we lost to cancer last year. The resort and ski team put together this nice video from the day. It was an amazing day.

Back Door Grill is pretty good. You should also make a trip up to Butcherknife while you’re up there. No food, but Amputator is one of my favorite IPA’s and the stopped distributing it down here.

I can't imagine doing that. A good uphill day for me is about 5k feet... Granted it involves the back country so a bit different. A am pretty worked after a small day like that.

Bridger is one of my favorite places and its amazing to have an inbounds lift serviced area in which you need a beacon.

Yes! Also, Bridger is also really a locals mountain. It's run by a local non-profit organization set up to run it. Not a ton of amenities, low prices and tons of locals with most of the tourists going to Big Sky instead. I love the vibe at Bridger.

A friendly face.

I drove up to Vermont this weekend, after a couple days on "fast and firm" conditions, today it's been snowing for a few hours and is gonna continue through the night.. 6-10 inches expected. Sugarbush should be good tomorrow and start to get back into shape after the usual melt then freeze session that happened the past week.
