Mary's Peak Corvallis OR

Any Corvallis area locals know if there's enough snow up on Mary's peak yet?

Don't have an answer for you, but they do a pretty fair job over at Ttips at chattiing up conditions in a lot of regions.

Thanks David,

Your link gave me the info I wanted. My only issue may be how close I'll be able to drive.

Well, with any luck, you won't be able to drive anywhere near the top..   

I used to live in Corvallis and have skied up there, but now moved to BC.
My friends report getting snow regularly in Corvallis, so that's called "light powder" up on the mtn.

Check out this report from the FS

You'll probably have snowmachiners going up the road if you don't want to skin it

I skied up on Saturday. I was able to drive to about a mile and a half from Conner's Camp. I could've driven to Conner's Camp, but wasn't sure and chose to play it safe.

The East Ridge trail has good coverage. There are downed vine maples to contend with on the lower half of the trail. Snow was a bit thick which made for good traction with my waxless skis.

The trail up is well sheltered. I had no idea how windy it was until I was up top. The top was socked in. Visibility was low and the wind was gusting at 30-35 mph. Still it was good to be out and it was nice to be able to drive less than an hour and a half for once.

Thanks for the replies and links.

Jeff
