Harvesting in White Pass Ski Area ? Who knew ? How much ?
Slowp--you know damn well that most PNW logging is done well out of Sierra country. Especially these self-appointed "pros" knowing all about all. :angry2:
The man is correct that much, not most, harvesting in northern Maine is Timberjack mechanized. Though Not all by a long shot since many independents can't afford the $$$$ harvesters. And, it is safer with a harvester. :agree2: Our trees are small.
So you got me there along with the Donner Party. Bon apetit. :hmm3grin2orange:
Please, where is spellcheck ?:deadhorse:[/QUOTE]
How many ways can a guy be wrong in one thread. Cant belive how blided by ignorence the ignorant can be. Shoulda left this alone but so wrong I couldnt.
1 They logged in Crystal mountain ski area this year with Columbia helicopters son worked on that project.
2 We get a little snow for sure not like the North east at least I know that as fact.
3 We get cold again not like north east but when your windows ice up cause youve been in single digits for days on end that can be considerd cold.
4 Comman term up here is getting snowed out of the woods. To much snow for crummies and trucks to make it to landings. Log trucks carry tire chains for a reason and are well used.
5 Nearly all logging out here in Enumclaw/ white river corridor starts at 1500 feet and goes as high as 5000 feet.
6 Creeks and ponds freeze over the creek picture below is from a fall pic.
Ya might want to study your facts before you go all know it all.
