I have just been checking out the damage to the Hwy 35. Wow, these pictures are on the route I normally take. The picture are all between the village of Government Camp and Mount hood Meadows. Apparently the North blockage between the village of Hood River and Meadows is not quite as bad . . .


This is the debris on the road, only a few small rocks. . .


No idea how they are going to clear this bridge let alone evalute the integrety of the structure afterwards. . .


lol! This used to be a road!


SO estimates are for this section of the road to be knackered until early next year, then it will need more work in the Summer . .

The north blockage, it not meant to be as bad and could be open in a couple of weeks . . . Boarding at Meadows at Thanksgiving is looking to be a pipe dream.

But as people keep saying, it is amazing what can be accomplished by those big yellow machines! I will keep posting updates, even though it is only me that cares!!!


For the record, the snow forecast for between 3Pm friday and Sunday night is:


Top lift 23.3"
Mid-station 21.7"
Main lodge 15.1"
