Patty,<br><br> Sorry to hear those snow rationings down your way.(By the way, I read two skiers -a wife and her husband -did pass away in an avi related accident outside the Canyons area boundary this year) I'm actually rather suprised to hear your snow is abscent this year. I know from friends and weather reports coming out of Tahoe (W of you guys) that the snow depths are above normal -atleast for now. And even east and south of you (CO and New Mexico are descent) Up our way, we are finally seeing some measurable accumulation. Though today we are having a warm "Pineapple Express" weather event in our mtns. Anyway, I thought I'd pass along to you a report I found brief but interesting none the less. Here is one to check out:<br>

Good luck. You'll find outstanding corn conditions setting up in that Sisters area if you hit the spring just right. Just about every year you'll see a good span of time allow for excellent corn skiing. In fact, most years you will see it last well into July (w/freezing night time temps) around the Three Sisters. Also, Mt. Jefferson to the north is a little more remote(access) early on, but allows for some much longer and wild descents. And don't forget about Mt. Hood in that area as well. Those "Ice Cream Cone" volcano's can provide a miraid of aspects and angles allowing you to fallow ths sun accordingly during the spring skiing ritual!
