Walt, Kay & I headed up Monday to MHM, and probably more. Everyday looks potentially good this week!

Hey Mark, I may join you fellas.  Wind gusts are still 73mph at top of MHX and 90mph top of Cascade.  I'll decide in morning. . . all that new snow and it's going to be wind affected---noooooooooooooooo.

75 MPH top of MHX currently.

 

Tues, Wed, Thurs certainly look calmer currently than Monday. I am also up for some of those.

I was planning on going Monday. However, the last 2 days of shoveling snow has kicked my butt. I will see tomorrow morning if I have the energy to ski. Monday is my only available day this coming week. -Dean

Mark, I'll check wind in morning.  Are you guys going tomorrow regardless?  Even if gusts are still 50 mph & up?

We are looking at those winds too, and that's what we see.  We're also waiting for them to update the phone.  Winds may affect lift ops just got on the website.  The guy is sleepy - he said they are open from 4-4.

The phone finally got updated, and the guy said winds to 76 at the top of MHX.  But on the website they lowered the winds.

I used to work there.  Never trust the website or the phone.  Look at telemetry for the real story.

Hi folks,

You can never tell exactly how it's going to be until you get there and see for yourself.  The mountain often creates its own weather. Also, not all parts of the mountain are affected equally. 

Yesterday (Sunday, Jan. 12), many people stayed home because of the high wind forecast, but a few of us had a great time skiing at Skibowl, which seems more sheltered from the winds.  Kurt Wilke and Malcolm MacDonald can confirm that there was no wind at all at Skibowl between 9 am and about noon yesterday.  And even after noon, we experienced only an occasional gust of wind that raised the snow from the ground and temporarily blocked visibility for just a few seconds.

Skibowl fun

Anyway, good luck to those of you who might decide to brave the weather today.  There is plenty of powder at Skibowl!

Lisa, 

Bruce and I plan to be there.  The people who skied today said it was difficult; not as nice as it was on Monday afternoon.

Yes, I agree.  There was so much snow on my car this past Sunday at Skibowl that I became aware of an issue with my car's roof-top box.  The snow that accumulated on top of the roof-top box was so heavy that it was hard to lift it to open the box. I managed it, but if I had stayed there for a few more hours, I might not have been able to open the box.

Dave, 

If you don't see anyone at Schuss they have probably gone out already.  Bruce McGavin, Mark Vibbard, and Debbie Thomas are skiing today.  Bruce is wearing a red jacket and gray pants, and has a red pack crosswise on his back.  Mark wears a dark blue jacket.  Debbie has so many choices I don't know what she's wearing today.
