2018/2019
dates
In 2016, we had a total of 17
club outings to Mt. Hood, most of them to
Timberline, but also a few to Meadows and
Skibowl.
In 2017, we had just 13 Mt.
Hood days.
In 2018, about 12/
Dates
for this season will be added here when
people want to go skiing.
1. Dec. 15. 2018 (Sat.) -
Timberline.
Meet in Sandy
7:30 - 7:45 am
2. January 1st, 2019. -
Timberline
In the middle of winter, we
are usually busy with ski trips, PACRAT
races, and other events. But, we
will most likely ski together at Skibowl
and Timberline every weekend in March.
April and May, until Monday, May 27
(Memorial Day), when all the regular ski
passes (Fusion pass, Spring pass) expire.
Join in the fun!
Make the effort to join us in Sandy, so we
can start the day together!
|
Weekend
day-trips
Just
for fun gatherings
Come ski with
us! Just for fun. Can
you show us some new trail. a secret stash,
a hidden slope? Or can we show you
something new you haven't skied before?
The day trips to Mt. Hood will be
simple carpooling trips, or let's just meet
at the ski area.
Normally, we meet
at McDonald's in Sandy
(left at 3rd traffic light in Sandy)
around 7:30 - 7:45am. You'll
find us either in the parking lot, or
inside McDonald's, getting a cup of
coffee. From there, we can either carpool
or caravan (follow each other's cars) to
the ski area.
For info, contact
Emilio, Emilio2000@earthlink.net, or
503-510-1477.
Please
Join one or both of our club's Forums
(Weekend and/or Mid-week). You can post
messages there, see when other people are
planning to go skiing, and communicate
with them.
Simply
click on one of the Forum buttons
in our main menu. Then click
on "Join this Group" in the upper
right of the window. Give the system
your email address, so that you can then
automatically receive an email whenever
someone posts a message in the Forum or
replies to your message.
Alternate
ways to meet:
(if you miss us in Sandy)
1.
On the mountain, meet us around 9:00
am (or 8:00 am after May 15)
near the ticket office, or just outside
the day lodge, near the free ski check,
ready to go skiing.
2.
On
a 2-way radio,
find us on Channel 6-19.
Just ask for "Mountain High" people!
Alternate
transportation (by bus):
On some nice
day (when it's not windy or rainy in
Sandy), let's try using the Mt. Hood
Express bus. A bus ticket costs only
$2, and it saves you not only the cost of
gas but also the wear and tear on your
car. We'll try to announce those
days in advance.
Catch
the bus on the far western end of Sandy.
Even before you get to the first Sandy
traffic light (near Fred Meyer), turn right
at the ARCO gas station (barely visible from
Hwy. 26). Then an immediate left into
the parking lot of the Mt. Hood Forest
Center. Leave your car there and walk
up the few steps to Highway 26, where you
will see a small stop shelter. The bus
leaves there at 7:45 am, arrive3s at
Skibowls at 8:30 am, and at Timberline at
9:00 am.
See
bus schedule at:

Mid-week
skiers
The
current group of mid-week skiers tend to
be advanced skiers who enjoy powder
skiing and challenging terrain (trees,
bumps, ungroomed snow) at Mt. Hood
Meadows.
Here are just a few
of the regular mid-week skiers:

Debbie Thomas Kay
Kinyon Walt Blomberg

Kenny Brundidge George
Yun
Kurt Krueger
|
Mid-week
day-trips
to Mt. Hood ski areas.
A group of us go skiing at Mt. Hood
Meadows on week days, all winter, often on
Thursdays, but also whenever there is good
powder, or whenever the fancy strikes!
At Meadows, find us in
the cafeteria in the
South lodge near the Schuss restaurant
(aka The Hamburger Place) around 8:00-8:30
a.m.(That's on the slope level,
which is 2nd floor). Left lodge as
you walk up from the parking lot.
NOTE: Quite often, Kenny Brundidge
starts the day a bit later, like
around 9:00 - 9:20 am.
So, if you are running late, look for him in
the lodge. See his picture on the
left, Either way, it's best to plan
ahead and connect either through our Forums
or you can also email Kenny at: kenbrundidge@comcast.net
You can connect with the mid-week
group by joining our online Midweek
forum page:
http://groups.google.com/group/MtHigh-midweek?hl=en . Click on the Join
this group link (on the upper right of
the page) and follow the instructions.
Please choose to receive all emails
from the group. That way, you will be
notified when the group starts making plans
to go skiing.
Once you join this Forum
(which is actually a Google Group), you can
post messages in the midweek forum whenever
you want. Only your first message, or
your first joining, needs to be approved by
a group moderator..
Sometimes we use 2-way radios to
connect on
Channel 6, Code 19,
but almost nobody in the Meadows group
uses radios any more, so this is not a
reliable way to connect.

NW
Ski Challenge 2018/2019
Would
you like to win a prize just for having fun
skiing? All you have to do is visit as
many ski areas in the Northwest as possible,
and keep your lift tickets or receipts.
The 2018-2019 ski season will be
the fourteenth year of the NWSCC Ski/Ride
Challenge. For the past 13 years the Council
has rewarded skiers and snowboarders who
have met the Challenge with lift tickets and
gift certificates for equipment or services
at ski shops.
The first year of our Challenge was
to visit all the Oregon ski resorts. The
second year the Challenge was to ski all
Washington ski resorts. The third year, we
did Idaho ski resorts. Then we made it
super-easy, with a minimum requirement of
skiing just any 7 of the ski areas listed on
the above map.
Additionally, the challenge has
expanded to include certain ski areas
in Alaska, Alberta, British
Columbia, Colorado, Idaho,
Montana, and Wyoming. Only the
ski areas shown on the map and listed in the
list qualify, because they are commercial
members of the NWSCC.
The Northwest Ski/Ride Challenge
rules are as follows:
Ski or ride any 7 or more of the
listed resorts (or appearing on our map)
during one ski season to be eligible to
win a prize. This
is not a race for the most resorts in the
least amount of time visited. Anyone who
visits at least 7 ski resorts any time
during the season is the eligible to enter.
Save your lift
tickets and/or receipts as proof.
Info & entry
forms: Ski
Oregon Challenge flyer (PDF)
Just save your lift tickets and/or
credit card receipts from the lift ticket
purchase, and mail this in before June
15. Please print and fill out the
entry
form. Mail your entry to:
NWSCC Ski Oregon Challenge
5331 SW Macadam Avenue, Suite
258
Box 438
Portland, OR 97239
Winners will be announced in the
Fall.
Several of our past winners have
kept very informative and colorful blogs and
photos of their experiences as they skied
and rode at Northwest ski areas the last
three seasons. Read about each ski area, and about
our experiences there, for inspiration:
