Big jumps? Is it worth a drive from seattle? By summer I'll be pretty thirsty for some summer jibs and air, ski season just ended yesterday for me.

oh definitely worth a drive. I don't know how big exactly the jumps are but last year there were 3 in a row from small to big and the biggest being maybe 45ish?

I heard it gets to slushy at mount hood sometime. Like someone was saying you can only ski until 1 or 2 in the summer because it gets way to sticky and slushy. Is that true?
Sorry for all the questions, just really intrested and loving this website, I just started going on it.

Yeah, skiing earlier in the day is definitely better than later. I want to say the mile/palmer both stop running at 2 in the summer but I could be remembering this wrong so.

I think I'm making the pilgrimage out to hood in the middle of may. I have not been this hyped for anything in a long time. I couldn't talk any of my dirtbag friends into coming but I don't care, I'm still driving out there

White trash? Ehh I wouldn't say that. It's entirely windells employees. Living there was pretty fun. Def not the cleanest place on earth though.

Heading out May 1st for the remainder of May. I'd like to stay out for the summer, but I have a lease to finish out in Salt Lake. Speaking of which... anyone want a room in Salt Lake through August? 300/mo plus utilities

Ark is staff campus.

Ark is magical in its own way. Far more fun to be where the staff are at.

Not exactly sure so I don't want to speculate and make a false rumor. But from what I've heard, no Ark for Windells anymore.

Id say jumps start to get slow and hiking them can suck once it gets really slushy. From what I remember though form 3 years ago people were still hiking them until about 4ish, but it just becomes a little more work after like 1 or 2. IMO id just like rails starting around 3 or so, you get so damn hot and tired when its 70 out hiking jumps a lot.
