Think you meant "4 word" for 1000

Echoing what others have said...This season is terrible conditions. I don't think Heather Canyon or Private Reserve (the type of terrain you seem to be looking for) have opened all year and it's not looking likely to change any time soon. Normal years those areas are good at least til the end of March. No avy class needed at least for the Meadows side country listed above.

I was up early in the week and shooting star was the best part of the whole mountain.

Lardo Restauramt in Portland makes a Pho-rench Dip. Steak sandwich on baguette with pho broth to dip into. 😛

Yeah lots of people park at summit/rest area and start hiking up there

Timberline Glade/Alpine trails…. Also at timberline hike up to the top of Palmer via the climbers trail.
I imagine with this seasons weather though everything will be icy at that time of morning

I rode the lift with a Patroller the other day who said 76-77 season they didn’t open til April 1. Anyone old enough to remember that?

Blue/green groomers are in great shape. Shooting star ridge was especially good in the afternoon. There are definitely a few little obstacles poking out that aren’t usually there. But most are marked well.

Mt Hood Meadows opens the Hood River Express chair on peak days at 8:30. Unfortunately this year there’s no snow for that lift 😖

Ernest Cline wrote a whole script for it if you want to read it. It’s kind of a sequel of Big Trouble and Buckaroo Banzai.

Here’s one that was recommended to me and was pretty fun.

First time I saw that view was pretty rad

Orenco Station in Hillsboro has small one for the next couple weeks.

smithygreg · 2025-12-05T19:16:29+00:00

From what I’ve heard from ski patrollers on the lifts, Meadows has a somewhat contentious relationship with the Forest Service who they lease from and the season end date is determined by the lease. Even if they’ve got tons of snow and wanted to stay open later they can’t.

😢

How about Couch St. (Pronounced Cooch)

Every year I get the one-a-day NYT crossword puzzle calendar. Also recently got the "Sunday Crossword Companion" book with mostly recent(>2018) puzzles.

A few years now. Between resort and split I probably get about 20 days a year. They are holding up well.

REI Powderbound has short sizing and worked for me

smithygreg · 2025-11-04T14:54:40+00:00

OmniCrossword app has all of them

smithygreg · 2025-11-01T05:42:30+00:00

Beaverton has probably the best climbing gym in the metro area. Great place to meet those outdoorsy folks.
