    Mt. Bachelor eclipsed 100 inches of base depth with the snowfall last night. Like every year, the milestone is celebrated by raffling off swag and giving away pint glasses.
    A healthy crowd showed up at the bar in hopes of taking home free crap to sell on ebay. It actually wasn’t all crap. They had some big ticket items (aka snowboard and skis) saved for the end.
    The one problem with a party based on snow depth is that inevitably there is fresh powder that day. While I listened to the MC Alex Kaufman raffle off swag and admired the bottom of my pint glass my eyes were being drawn to the hill, mostly just wanting to be back out there.
