08/05/24: "BUTTER" in the words of Tony describing the smooth corduroy on the East Side and Mile this morning.
If you're still skiing Mount Hood this August you are a die hard, straight up.
Between the 70 degree temps, wildfire smoke and mandatory walking between snow patches, the skiing isn't easy but 'you gotta get it while you can'. Timberline has announced a closing date of August 18th, I do agree with the general consensus that coverage is far from the worse we have seen this time of year in past seasons. Laps were pleasant all morning and the traffic on hill was light.
There is a very noticeable melt out at the bottom of the Mile in the past 24 hours now necessitating a few hundred feet of walking above PCT junction. The mandatory slog down the pavement is leaving untracked goodness on the Mile well after 10:30am, so at least that's awesome.
Enjoy the final few weeks Palmer faithful, I'm headed to Las Lenas, Argentina now to score pow turns.
