Haha that reminds me of when that happened at our mountain. It was the only powder run I took all year because of work. We hiked up the backside off some road (the snow was just past the knees) and the ski down was almost to our waists. Granted we where skiing on grass, it still went haha. Oh and they just groomed the park (nothing up yet) so we bombed down that and through some more powder at the bottom. When we reached that we where cruising so we just floated over the powder. Man that was one of the best runs I've had.

it closes, and hood does too for like 2 weeks, but damn skiing in early october on mt hood is sketch ball. Its not on a glacier, so that snowfield is almost gone by that time.
and loveland seems to open so damn early. Its usually like 70 degrees and sunny here, and of course loveland has 2 feet. Utah seems to get a fair amount of snow in september, but nothing substantial.
