Day trips - dates

=============

Race days are solid bets, since there will always be lots of us going skiing that day! But, we will go up on other days as well.

2008 dates:

Jan. 13 (Sun.): Timberline

Jan. 27 (Sun.): Meadows
Feb. 17 (Sun.): Ski Bowl
Mar.   9 (Sun.): Meadows

Mar. 23 (Sun.): Meadows
 

Join in the fun! Make the effort to join us in Sandy, so we can start the day together!

Weekend day-trips

to Mt. Hood ski areas

Come ski with us, almost any Saturday or Sunday.

It's just a single day outing. Join us on PACRAT race days (Sundays). Everyone is invited, including non-racers. On race days, you can be sure that over 130 of our members will be on the mountain. Those are our racers. But, many other friends and family members show up too, just to ski with us.

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 7:15 - 7:30 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!

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!

Harry & Lisa Scribner originally started our midweek skiers list.

Mid-week day-trips

to Mt. Hood ski areas.

All winter, whenever there is good powder, or whenever the fancy strikes! If you are interested and want to be added to the list of potential mid-week skiers, contact George Yun, at boar2m@msn.com, Better yet, you can join the mid-week group by registering with the Google group. Go to Midweek forum page: http://groups.google.com/group/MtHigh-midweek?hl=en and click on the Join this group link and follow the instructions.

Any member of the midweek group can post a message on the midweek forum.

Once on the mountain, if you have a radio, use Channel 6, Code 19 to connect with whoever shows up.

• Anthony Lakes
• Cooper Spur
• Hoodoo
• Mt. Ashland
• Mt. Bachelor

The rest can be done in a few individual trips to Mt. Hood areas.

Ski Oregon Challenge 2007

Can you ski 9 Oregon ski areas in a single season?

Or how about all 11 Oregon ski areas? Some of us did it in 2005/06.  The Challenge will be repeated this season 2006/07.

There will be prizes for those who can. Prizes will include: equipment, services, lift tickets, and a ten-time punch pass at Mt. Hood Meadows. Also, there will be T-shirts, sweatshirts and long-sleeve mock turtlenecks, with a nifty design showing off all the areas you've skied!

So, plan your ski season now!  You can do it! Let's honor and support not just the big resorts, but also the little ski areas that keep nurturing our favorite sport and that diligently keep creating new generations of skiers and snow-riders.

Info & entry forms: Ski Oregon Challenge flyer (PDF)

You can order a shirt with the Ski Oregon Challenge logo.

Ski Washington Challenge 2007

Ski 10 Washington ski areas in a single season, 2006/07, and you qualify for an award.  Extra credit will be given if you manage to ski any of the additional 4 ski areas - for a grand total of 14.

Keep in mind that 2 of these 14 are: a Heli-skiing operator and a Snowcat skiing operator.

All you need to do is show a lift-ticket receipt from all of these areas, as proof that you have skied there.

So, plan your ski season now!  You can do it! Let's honor and support not just the big resorts, but also the little ski areas that keep nurturing our favorite sport and that diligently keep creating new generations of skiers and snow-riders.

Info & entry forms in the Ski Washington Challenge flyer. You can order a shirt with the Ski Washington Challenge logo.

David Schor is already way ahead of us, as you can see from this page from the NWSCC web site:  http://www.nwskiers.org/event/Ski%20Oregon

David completed the challenge before the end of December. Way to go, David!

NOTE: This is not a race. Do it at your own pace. But do it! If you don't visit all of Washington's ski areas this year, you will just be that much older when you do. (Thanks for the thought, Warren Miller!)

Silver Star

Dec. 7-12, 2007.   NWSCC trip.

Emilio Trampuz, scouting out the slopes of Kicking Horse. At the top of the mountain, looking down south, toward the source of the Columbia River.

In 2003, only 3 of us went to Canada.

In 2004, there were about a dozen of us!

In 2005, it was also about a dozen people, but people went at different times, including some in April.

In 2006, we had about a dozen people (or more). It was hard to count, because we were not all together all the time.

For complete details of our standard ski safari from previous years (a 5-day trip), including hotels, road maps, etc., see:

Columbia River Valley

Canadian Ski Safari
8 or 9-day trip: Dec. 8-16, 2007

(but you can shorten it at any point by driving straight home)

UPDATE:  The itinerary for this trip has been changed drastically, due to snow conditions. We'll skip Big White and Silver Star completely, and immediately head east, and we will also add Sunshine Village and Lake Louise to the mix.

Please remember that you can do this trip exactly as outlined below at any time later in the season, but especially convenient in early April, because those Warren Miller coupons will become valid again after March 25, 20008.

Dec. 8 - 16, 2007 (Friday - Sunday).

Nine days sounds like a lot, but it's just a week, with both weekends on either end.

This is a new and improved safari. We did the classic 5-day trip around Canada for the past 4 or 5 years. You can still do the same, if you wish. If you haven't done it before, you can find detailed instructions, phone numbers, addresses, maps, etc. on our web site. See the ARTICLES page (and then look for Canadian Ski Safari) at: http://www.mthigh.org/Articles.htm.

See how people describe their experiences on last year's ski safari, at: www.mthigh.org/Articles/
Canada-Ski-Safari-2006.pdf

But, let's do an even better, extended ski safari this time.

After visiting Silver Star, we'll be following the Columbia River upstream, to its source. So, let's call this the Columbia River Ski Safari.

Here's the plan for the Safari.  Click here to see a map.

DAY 0 (Sat., Dec. 8): Not counting this as a real day, because people can still work this day, and then drive out of Portland after work. Just drive for about 4 or 5 hours, either to Ellensburg or Wenatchee (on Hwy 97).  Or to Bellingham (on I-5).

DAY 1: (Sun., Dec. 9): Spend at least part of the day skiing somewhere like Mission Ridge or Loup Loup, or even Apex. Then drive the rest of the way into Canada.  Alternatively, if we go up I-5, we could ski Mt. Baker, or Grouse Mountain (with great views of Vancouver below).

DAY 2: (Mon., Dec.10): Ski Big White, Reservations: 1-800-663-2772.  Reservations needed to get free lift tickets if staying for 2 days or more.

DAY 3: (Tue., Dec. 11): Ski Big White.

DAY 4 (Wed., Dec. 12): Ski Silver Star. We'll all unite here, even if we come from different directions. Reservations needed to get free lift tickets if staying for 2 days or more. Central Reservations: 1-800-663-4431.

DAY 5 (Thur., Dec. 13): Ski Silver Star. From here we'll follow Hwy. 97C, and then Trans-Canada Highway 1, toward the town of Golden and Kicking Horse.

DAY 6 (Fri., Dec. 14): Ski Kicking Horse. The first day of operation. Over 4,000 vertical feet in a single 10-minute gondola ride. 4 bowls. Great views of the Columbia River valley below. The on-mountain village is still rudimentary. We might want to stay in the town of Golden, only 15-20 minutes below the ski area.

DAY 7 (Sat., Dec. 15): Ski Fernie, a big ski area, offering 2,800 vertical feet and 2,500 acres, including 5 enormous bowls. 10 lifts, of which 2 are high-speed quads.  9 on-hill restaurants.

DAY 8 (Sun., Dec. 16): Ski Kimberley, in the Purcell Range. Just an hour south of Invermere is the charming Bavarian style town of Kimberley. The ski area is just a mile or two above town, with its own mountain village. This is B.C.'s sunniest ski resort. 2,465 vertical feet, 1,800 acres, served by 1 high-speed quad on the front, and a triple and a double chair on the back. The back side has lots of tree skiing.

This modified itinerary skips Panorama and Schweitzer Mt.
We can visit Panorama on next year’s Canada Safari.
As for Schweitzer, we already have plans for a club trip
to this Idaho resort next winter.

 
DRIVING HOME. Kimberley and Fernie have been switched around, because Kimberley is just slightly closer to home. It’s at least 10 hours of driving from Kimberley to Portland. If we leave Kimberley at noon, we could be back in Portland by 10 or 11 pm. If we ski a full day at Kimberely, till 3:30 pm, we could still be home by 2 am, if you need to be at work Monday morning. Or, stay the night in Sandpoint, Coeur
d'Alene or Spokane, and drive home on Monday.

 
We could even ski one more day at Bluewood ski area in south-east Washington (straight south from Spokane). It's sort of on the way. Just another minor detour. But that would be a 10th day. Probably too much for most people. Still, there's a surprising amount of varied terrain, 1,125 vertical feet, served by two triple chairs.

 
This is a very informal trip. Just drive up, possibly carpool, and let's ski! If we share lodging and gas expenses, the trip can be quite affordable. For details about this road trip, and for help coordinating the carpooling, contact Emilio Trampuz: Emilio2000@earthlink.net.

HOW TO SHORTEN THE TRIP 

If this is too much time for you, you can shorten the trip in several ways:

1.  Drive up later, and catch up with us either at Silver Star or at Revelstoke.

2.  Just do the Classic 5-day Ski Safari (Apex, Big White, Silver Star, Sun Peaks), and join us at a few of these places, where our paths may intersect.

3.  Fly to Kelowna, rent a car there, and join us for just 3 or 4 days (at Big White, Silver Star, Revelstoke, and maybe Kicking Horse).  Then drive back to Kelowna and fly home.

4.  Drive up with us, but then cut the trip short at any point by simply driving straight home.

5. OR, ... just call in sick for the whole week. Isn't there some kind of stomach flu going around? (wink, wink)

See a detailed guide (including maps, hotel phone numbers, ski area snow phones, etc.) for the new 8 or 9-day ski safari here: CanadaSkiSafari-2.pdf.

FWSA Ski Week 2008

Whistler/Blackcomb, B.C.

THIS TRIP IS ALMOST FULL.

SEE UPDATE IN RED BELOW.

Jan. 19 - 26, 2008.  The biggest ski party in the West is the annual Far West trip, involving dozens (if not hundreds) of ski clubs throughout the Western States (OR, WA, CA, AR, NV, NM).  Whistler/Blackcomb is a very popular Northwest destination that is rated as one of the premier ski resorts in North America.

Whistler/Blackcomb is what the perfect winter vacation should be: two incredible, side-by-side, snow-covered mountains rising spectacularly from a picturesque pedestrian alpine village alive with shopping, dining, nightlife, and virtually limitless activities. Experience in 2008 what the world will discover in 2010 at the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games! Whistler/Blackcomb is unchallenged in sheer size, variety of terrain, choice of on-mountain and après ski activities, shopping and spa opportunities. Experience thirteen incredible bowls, three glaciers, and more than 200 marked trails, secluded tree skiing and groomed-to-perfection alpine runs. Other winter activities abound.

Whistler’s après scene is legendary. Whether it’s pints on a slopeside patio, live music in a local pub, or late night club-hopping, it's all uniquely Whistler. For those seeking a more mellow scene, there’s plenty to do. From first-run
Hollywood blockbusters and the arcade at the Village 8 Cinemas, to browsing through shops and art galleries, to
taking a soothing soak in a hot tub, the fun just gets started once the lifts stop.

Mystery trip
a Mt. High bus trip

March 14-16, 2008.
2 days/ 2 nights. The bus trips are usually our club’s best and most fun events. You don’t have to miss any work days, as this is just a weekend.

We will leave Friday around 5 pm, and return Sunday night, by about 8 pm.

We’ll visit:
... Oh, wait, we can't tell you. That's part of the mystery! But we can tell you this:

Skiing:  Lots of variety. Something for everyone.  Some great views.  Lots of easy and intermediate terrain, but also some hair-raising steeps with moguls!  Tree skiing too!

Lodging: Both nights, we’ll stay in the same charming little place, ... and if you are lucky, you might see some wildlife.

A very basic continental breakfast is included, but there are other breakfast options within a very short walk.

Bring some "mystery" food to share on the bus on Friday evening.

Price: Approximately $200 for lodging and transportation, plus approx. $38 per lift ticket (or less).

The trip price is based on 26 people. For each 2 people that sign up over that number, the price for everyone will go down by $4 . (For example, at 32 people it would cost $188 each, and at 42 people it would cost only $168 each!) So, let’s make sure everyone goes on this trip!

If enough people sign up, we might even be able to include the lift tickets into the price of $200.
