Ski Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Each 1000 ft. = -3.6 degrees F. It's also why they sometimes find frozen dead guys with lots of broken bones in the desert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skimom Posted September 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 It wasn't as nicely covered until last week when they got a snow storm. Also, remember, a large portion of it is a glacier. They are the first place with lifts running for the new season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Geezer Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 (edited) Each 1000 ft. = -3.6 degrees F. It's also why they sometimes find frozen dead guys with lots of broken bones in the desert. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think it's supposed to be -6.0 degrees F for every 1000 ft. They ski Mt. Hood year round, see http://www.timberlinelodge.com/. In late July, Aug, and early Sept., it's basically skiing on the bottom reaches of a glacier. You can drive there to the lodge in Aug, and be wearing shorts and a tee shirt, and walk up to the end of the glacier, and notice a huge temperature difference, and of course see die-hards skiing and boarding.

skidude Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Welcome old geezer Technically it is a snowfield and not a glacer, because its not moving. Err scratch that, more technically its GREAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
