Batchelor are closed for the season. Now is the time for the *REAL* skiers to come out! I was at Timberline last weekend, and there were at least a dozen skiers on the Palmer Snowfield. (A good Nordic ski pack with ski pockets on the side is indispensible.) Snow was in abundance! I think the reason they close Timberline after labor day is lack of interest, not lack of snow. Even without lifts, the Palmer Snowfield is only about 2 moderate miles from parking. My dad and I hiked up in about an hour -- it would have been much quicker on cross-country skis. Much of the recent four-inch snowfall was still on top of the 4' - 5' base. -- :::::: Jan Steinman Box 1000, MS 61-161 (w)503/685-2843 :::::: :::::: tektronix!tekecs!jans Wilsonville, OR 97070 (h)503/657-7703 ::::::
