Your secret is safe with me. Never got into skiing personally, but its such a cool sport. Kind of the winter equivalent of golf, you don't necessarily have to be rich to enjoy the sport, but it's pretty hard to get into it if you don't have a trust fund or a few thousand dollars of disposable income a month.
Looks like July will end up generally around normal temperature wise in the Willamette Valley. We could be on track for our coolest summer since 2020. SLE only hitting 2 90s this month, if it ends up this way, is incredibly shocking. Really nothing to complain about so far this summer. The fires are a product of long term drought and a very unfortunate dry lightning outbreak. Couldn't really have asked for a better summer so far.
Of course August could be horrific, but the 12z GFS shows the first third of the month being fairly climo if not cooler than average at times.
