RparrSpent a lot of timing staring at ski bowl from govy whenever I went to timberline each May. Never got to ski it obviously as it’s closed that time of year

going to have to hit you guys with a Midwest one:



Perfect North

Nope. Clue its very high up north and has very much snow but doesnt open until the end of februarh because its dark outside 24/7 there in the start off the winter and sometimes they have open on midsummer and you can ski in the middle off the night and the sun is still up

I’ve seen that type of snow all over tho I agree, heavy / wet is far more common in the PNW

I can’t remember the lift, I’ve been thinking but that really looks like killi…skyship lift maybe … tho now I’m assuming I’m incorrect as the poster hasn’t granted me victory 😩
