Weekend day-trips
to Mt. Hood ski areas
Come ski with us,
almost any Saturday or Sunday.
Unfortunately, there is no way
of knowing if our members will go skiing on any particular day.
The one exception is on our
PACRAT race days
(Sundays). On race days,
you can be sure that over 140 of our members will be on the
mountain. Those are just our racers. But, many other friends and family
members show up too, just to ski with us. Everyone is invited,
including non-racers.
The race itself takes
up only a few minutes of our time. A whole 10-person team can get
down the race course in about 5 minutes. The rest of the time, we
just ski for fun.
Meet at
McDonald's in Sandy (left at 3rd traffic light in
Sandy) around
7:00 - 7:15 am. You might find us either in the parking lot,
or inside McDonald's, getting a cup of coffee. From there, we can
either carpool or caravan to the ski area. For info, contact
Emilio,
info@mthigh.org, or
1-503-378-0171 (a Salem number).
On the mountain, meet
us around 9:00 am
near the ticket office, outside, or find us on Channel 6-19.
Just ask for "Mountain High" people!
Racers: See more details on our
Racing page.
Invitation: Non-racers, please come ski with the
racers!
Racers, please come ski with
non-racers on day trips even when there is no race going on!
Let's carpool! Stop in Sandy! |

NW Ski Challenge 2011/2012
Would you like to win a
10-time pass to Mt. Hood Meadows? Or some other prize? And all
you have to do is have some fun visiting as many ski areas in the
Northwest as possible, and keep your lift tickets or recipts.
The 2011-2011 ski season
will be the seventh year of the NWSCC Ski Challenge. For the past 6 years
the Council has rewarded skiers and snowboarders who have met the
Challenge with gift certificates for equipment or services at ski
shops, and one lucky winner each year goes home with a ten-time pass
to Mt. Hood Meadows.
The first year of our
Challenge was to visit all the Oregon ski resorts. The second year we expanded
the Challenge with the addition of Washington ski resorts. The third
year,
we added Idaho ski resorts. Then we made it super-easy, with a
minimum requirement of skiing just 7 ski areas within the three NW
States.
This year, the Council is challenging
skiers and snowboarders to ski the Northwest again, The
Northwest Ski Challenge rules are as follows:
Ski or ride any 7 or
more resorts in Oregon, Washington and/or Idaho during the 2011-2012
ski season to be eligible to win a prize. This time it is
not a race for the most resorts visited. Anyone who visits at least 7 ski resorts is
the eligible to enter. Save your lift tickets and/or receipts as
proof.
Info & entry forms:
Ski Oregon
Challenge flyer (PDF)
You can
order a shirt
with Challenge logo and/or a map of either Oregon, or Washington, or
Idaho, or all 3 States, showing the location of all the ski areas.
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 the NWSCC, Po Box 1915, Portland, OR 97207.
Winners will be announced
at the July NWSCC meeting, and the grand prize will be awarded
to the skier or boarder who visits the most Northwest ski areas
during the season.
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:

Anthony
Lakes trip
a Mt. High bus trip
January 20 - 22, 2012.
2 days/ 2 nights. A fun
bus trip. Leave Friday at 4 pm, return Sun. night.
Anthony Lakes is
the ski area with the highest base in Oregon, at 7,000' (which is a
a thousand feet higher than Timberline Lodge), so the snow is
guaranteed and the powder light & dry. The old base lodge was
featured in the movie "Paint Your Wagon" back in the '60s!
Lodging:
The first night we will
stay at the Wildhorse Indian Casino Resort near Pendleton. You will
have time to gamble away some of your money! The next morning we'll
drive straight to the ski area, about an hour and a half away.
Breakfast is on your own, either at the casino or at A-Lakes.
The second night we'll stay at the Eldorado motel in Baker City, the
city closest to Anthony Lakes. While the Eldorado isn't fancy (their
motto is "we only LOOK expensive,") they have a pool and a
complimentary breakfast, including waffles.
Dinner: When we
come back from skiing on Saturday we'll change and load up on the
bus again for a very special dinner at the Haines Steak House, the
best for miles around. Your dinner and soft drinks are included,
with a choice of prime rib, BBQ pork ribs, or halibut, as well as
the fabulous salad bar. Appetizers, desserts, or alcoholic beverages
are on your own. Vegetarians or light eaters who just want the salad
bar will pay $10 less for the trip.
Skiing: Sunday
morning we will load up the bus to go ski at Anthony Lakes. There is
just one chairlift, a triple, so you can't lose anyone -- but you
won't lack for great skiing off that one chair!, which covers about
180 degrees of the mountain. We always have a fantastic time at
A-Lakes!
Snowcat skiing:
Depending upon whether Mother Nature smiles on us, Anthony Lakes
will offer our group half days of snowcat skiing on either Saturday
or Sunday for only $60 additional! This should allow anyone on our
trip who is interested to participate on one of the two days. Linda
McGavin is taking names of those interested, but no payment will be
made until the time of the trip, when we are certain that they will
be able to offer the snowcat (they usually start about that time of
year). A total of 12 people can sign up on any one day, and we will
need to let Anthony Lakes know how many extra spots they could sell
to the public. So get your name in early to be on the list!
Contact Linda McGavin.
Price: $230 for
transportation, 2 nights’ lodging, 2 days lift tickets, one dinner,
and one breakfast.
Good news for those
over 70 - you will receive free skiing, and your total trip cost
will only be $175, including the fantastic dinner at the Haines
Steak House (choice of prime rib, rib eye, or halibut, plus their
amazing salad bar)!
Use
Dough Transmittal form to send $100 deposit,
due by November 15. Full payment due by December 20. No refunds after December
20 unless
you can fill your spot.

races, or in the pre-race clinics. But, even without the racing,
come visit Alpine Meadows just for the fun of it.
For more info, contact
Gordon Lusk:

See
flyer posted on the Far West Racing Association's web site:
Everyone (including
non-racers) is welcome to come just to ski.
But, if you wish to race,
you must pre-qualify. All PACRAT racers qualify automatically, since
their handicap is known, as long as they have taken part in at least
3 PACRAT races. In addition to PACRAT races, there are a few other
qualifying opportunities.
For racers, this is a
chance to experience a true slalom and a true GS race. These are
really fun races and give you a chance to compete against club
racers from Nevada, California and Arizona.
Slalom on Saturday and
Giant Slalom on Sunday.
There will be different
courses set for different racer abilities so you will be able to
handle it. They have 10 different racer classes and also do an age
break at 45. There are individual awards and also a team
trophy.

registration fee is $45 total for the whole weekend,
