photos of the "Frosted Flakes" PACRAT team gathering to decorate their
racing bibs. Note that the Sherwood Valley Juice Company is our
new sponsor this year. That's why their logo is on one sie of the
racing bib. the other side is out usual racing rat. (Photos

This was an
urban hike, Washington Part to Arlington Heights loop, for a total of
3.5 miles, led by Elisabeth Fontaine. There were some stairs to climb -

participated.

Ski Fair
November 7, 2011 (Monday).
The Ski Fair was
held at the Monarch Hotel in Clackamas for the first time after a 2 year
break when it was held at the Holiday Inn by the airport. This is a NW
Ski Club Council event, organized by skiers for skiers.
As usual, our Mt. High booth was one of the most well
attended booths. Lots of new people showed up, as well
as existing club members who renewed their membership,
signed up for trips, or racing, or both.
The theme of the Ski Fair was "Ski the Volcano", and our
President, Kurt Krueger managed not only to make a
volcano for our booth, but also to make smoke come out
of it (using dry ice).

Kurt made the volcano smoke!
This was harder than it looks. We discovered that
dry ice vapor is heavier than air, so it sinks to the
bottom rather than rise up the volcano. It looked more
like fog around the bottom of the volcano than hot smoke
rising from the volcano. We had to devise a way to
force the smoke to go up.
This is the moment when it finally worked! |

Portland Ski Fever &
Snowboard Show
|
November 4 - 6, 2011 (Friday - Sunday).
The annual
Portland Ski Show at the Expo Center.
This is a more
commercial event. The big attractions are the many ski shops selling off
last year's inventory at discounted prices.
Also, many ski
areas are represented.
Our ski club did
not have a booth here, but the NWSCC had a booth, shared by all the
local ski clubs. |
