What is the chance there will be any sort of park set up???

 

[ScrappyJoeYoung]

goood chance, if all fails we jib rocks which are just as fun can you dig it?

I was told no park, but that little square of snow should be fun...skiing in october yessir

 

[meerkat]

[rickroller]

stoked. whats the wether looken like this weekend?

 

[~~JEFF~~]

maybe if windells is still up i dont think timberline has anything set though

 

[hoodratz47]

[GANDALF]

im thinking about driving down from bellingham, wa next weekend, think it would be worth it?

 

[UFOsarereal]

today they had an up-box, a down single-barrel rail, and a flat-down made out of really wide corrugated tubes set up. the Windells lane looks like it hasn't been salted or anything in a while.

 

[meerkat]

where did they have them set up and were they timberlines or windells?

 

[SloppyJ]

would it be worth making a trip out there? how much of the mountain is open? and what are the conditions like?

 

[UFOsarereal]

they're Timberline's, open to the public. set up on the very skier's-left most side of the snowfield.

 

[UFOsarereal]

only Palmer is open... you can lap midway and there are a few lanes to pick from... the mogul lane is sort of dividing Palmer in half with dirty snow, but it's decent on either side. The snow is either that weird, salty-icy stuff, corn, or mashed potatoes... it all depends on what time/what part of the field you're skiing.

 

[SloppyJ]

ok thanks, is palmer like a long run or is it like a bunny hill? and is there any park?

 

[~~JEFF~~]

Super fun up there today, smooth runs and the 3 jib line is fun too. Surprising for october.

 

[rickroller]

ya it was super fun the wether was soo nice the rail line was fun too

 

[hoodratz47]

its the bunny slope/// but the best bunny slope EVER

 

[~~JEFF~~]

you can get cooking on it though...pretty steep there is just nothing to compare it too so it feels really flat haha

 

[SloppyJ]

soooo not worth 6 hour drive? haha

 

[UFOsarereal]

depends on how badly you want to go skiing.
