Snow, Snow, Snow - Great Water Levels for the Summer!
Skiers on Mt Bachelor Celebrated hitting the 100 inch mark on January 4th. Heavy snowfall over the holiday season put levels over the century mark, ending annual betting pools much earlier than normal. The annual tradition of betting on when the magic 100 is official came earlier than many old timers can remember. Continued storms assure great water levels on all Oregon Rivers this summer. Speaking of Mt Bachelor….
