Puget Sound Splitting Thread 08

No but I have taken the PCT from I-90 to US 2 does that count.

[ale_capone]

Nope. Completly the opposite of what I needed to know. I figured it out though, thank you.

Headed up late to Steven’s pass yesterday to take the dogs for a walk. Was still able to do a lap from the magic carpet near daisy to the top of cowboy, all snow, no carries. A few spots still doable from the ridge. Smoooooth down the resort side back towards hogsgack.

Anybody have any free time during this coming week? North Cascades, possibly Vesper or Del Campo.

anyone going out this weekend? I am looking to get a some ridding in before being put in a cast on monday.

[snoslut]

Jcocci, wife, myself, gf are planning on heading south. Jcocci is leaving Friday morning. I wanna get outta of dodge so I plan on heading down tonight and camping off I-84. Will camp at Memaloose, just past Hood River.

Forecast is not looking so great for Friday. Thunderstorms predicted so I’m gonna make the call Friday morning. Either way I’m driving up Friday am to get a good spot and lounge around till Saturday. I’ll be in a forest green Toyota Suv (Rav-4) or a black GMC Jimmy.

Weather is forecasted to improve into the weekend. Plan is to hit Adams on Saturday and Hood on Sunday. Monday is a bonus day. Might try and hit Helens.

Around here there is always a chance that the weather can take a turn for the worse. In which case I will be prepared to go surfing along the coast in Oregon / Washington or find another mountain.

[davenirish]

Well I will not be able to make it down there on saturday to adams most likely but hood could work out nice on sunday. I have to go down to portland anyways so it could work out well.

Baker area this weekend?

[ale_capone]

Anyone getting their July pow turns in today?

Today: Cloudy. A chance of showers. Snow level 9000 feet. Afternoon pass temperatures in the lower 60s. West wind in the passes 10 to 15 mph.

Yo Jack! Gonna be at T-Line tomorrow for some lift serve. You gonna be around?

Or anybody else for that matter? I’ll be leaving this evening and making the usual stops at the Rat and Charlie’s.

Yup and proly gone by tomorrow. What a tease. The new snow that has fallen so far has turned to chowder quickly.

North = more snow, cloudy. South = less snow, more sun.

Hood had a coat of white last Friday. Can almost ride down to the car and its August.

[spicoli11]

Snow looked minimal from what I’ve seen. I’m having a hard time getting stoked about a few inches of windblown on suncups when theres overhead swell going on. Surf was real good at the end of last week in oregon. Thinking of heading out to westport for friday if anybodys interested.

[jack]

hate to shut down the stoke, but i can see Hood, Adams, and Helens all from my place here in PDX and they are all just as brown as they were before the recent precip.

[spicoli11]

I have a good feeling we might be seeing a major change in the weather. Snow levels are droppin. I might hot wax the shred sled for fun tonight.

I think you are right!

A colder air mass “will invade the region” behind the current cold front on Tuesday, sending snow levels to the 3,500 to 4,000 foot range, the weather service said in a statement.

Mountain elevations above 4,000 feet could see 1 to 3 inches of snow by the end of the day Tuesday.

Lets just hope it keeps coming. I hope to get some riding in by the end of the month, anyone else with me?

edited to prevent jinx…

[spicoli11]

Lookin at tommorow…think ale is going…any other puget sounders heading up?

[jcocci]

Where?

[spicoli11]

Playing it by ear and watching the webs here. Original plan was up by baker…but there seems to be more precip down south as of now. Open to suggestions. I imagine we’ll make the call this eve.. after the days events have passed. Give a shout if your interested.
