New Mt. High Wall Calendar
A 15-month wall
calendar (Jan. 2010 - Mar. 2011)
customized with our club photos and
with most of our winter trips and
PACRAT races already marked?
You can print it straight from our
web site, in 2 sizes:
1.
Tabloid (11x17") - Very
large 3.2 MB PDF file
2.
Letter (8.5 x 11") -
Large 4.3 MB PDF file.
Be prepared to wait a
few minutes for the file to open
when you first click on it.
PRINTING: If you
don't have a printer that can print
both sides at once, print all the
even pages first, flip the whole
stack, and print the odd ones.
Note that half the pages are printed
upside down on purpose. It all
falls into place when you fold the
printed sheets in half and staple it
all right in the middle (along the
fold).
Alternatively, if you
prefer,
Emilio will print these for
you, for a small fee (just to
cover the expenses):
1.
Tabloid (11" x 17") =
$10.-
2.

Mt.
Hood Heritage Day at the Mt. Hood Museum in Government Camp, a few
years ago.
Bike
ride on almost deserted road
NOTE
We
all need to assemble in Rhododendron at 10 am, at least to see how
many of us there are, so we can then divide into two groups. One
half will leave their cars in Rhody, while the other half will
transport everyone up to Timberline.
We'll
have a special truck for the bicycles, thanks to Chas Westergren. |
Mt. Hood Heritage Day
and Mt. High Timberline bike ride
Sept. 18 (Sat.)
Celebration of Mount
Hood's outdoor recreation heritage. Mt. Hood Ski Bowl will host the
event at the Ski Bowl this year. A full afternoon and evening of
activities. The day will culminate with a silent and oral auction
gala.
More info at the Mt. Hood
Museum's web site:
www.mthoodmuseum.org/schedule.html
Mt. High Bike Ride
A unique bike ride into history!
Meet at 10 am, in
Rhododendron, the last small town before Government Camp.
Let's assemble near the supermarket, which will be on your left as
you drive up.
The bike ride is from Timberline Lodge to
Rhododendron (downhill all the way). Mostly on paved roads,
or fairly smooth trails. Mostly on hidden paths that are not well
known, some so overgrown they might soon disappear.
We will leave about half
of our cars in Rhododendron. The other half will drive up to
Timberline road with their bikes, but also carpooling with those who
will leave their cars in Rhody. Chas Westergren has offered to bring
a large truck to transport our bikes from Rhododendron to Timberline
At the end of the day, those who left their cars in Rhody will give
a ride to the drivers of the cars left at Timberline.
During the bike ride,
we'll stop briefly at Government
Camp and Mt. Hood Skibowl, to take a quick look at the Heritage Day
events, honoring the history of Mt. Hood.. We won't stay long there,
and can always return later, because there is some more exciting
cycling ahead of us, from Government Camp to Rhododendron, on some
roads and paths that you probably didn't even know existed.
This is a unique and
historical ride. Here
are some highlights:
1. Ride the
West Leg
Road, the old road to Timberline.
2. Brief stop along the
way to pick some huckleberries.
3. Brief stop at the
Mt.
Hood Museum in Government Camp. Check out old skis and rooms
decorated with early Oregon pioneers artifacts.
4. Brief stop at
Mt. Hood Skibowl, to see what's going on. There will be old
vintage cars, a display of old photos, a huckleberry cooking
contest, Wy'east Artisans show and sale, special food booths, live
and silent auctions, and more. Consider this just a "teaser". We'll
just take a peek, and continue riding. But, we can come back here
again later in the day.
5. Bike down parts of the
old Mt. Hood highway, before the modern Hwy 26 was built. The
road is overgrown with trees and moss, but it is still paved and
smooth.
6. See
Laurel Hill, the steepest part of the historic Barlow Trail, so
steep the pioneers had to lower their wagons with ropes, and tie
tree trunks to the back of the wagon to act as a brake. This hill is
as steep as a double-black diamond ski trail, and yet the pioneers
managed to get down it with their wagons!
7. Visit a bat
cave. Yes, there are some bats in there, but it's not what you
think.
8. Visit
Little Zig Zag
Falls. Or sit down at a picnic table to rest your legs here.
9. Bike down parts of the
old Barlow trail.
10. At the end of the
ride, let's go for a drink and some food somewhere in Rhododendron
or Government Camp. Or back to Skibowl for some fun, such as a zip
line through the tees, the alpine slide, and 30 other attractions.
For the bike ride,
contact Emilio, 503-378-0171, or

Mt. High
Seafood Spectacular
(Just a party.)
Sept. 25 (Saturday) at 6:00 pm.
(If you want to help with the setup,
please come at 5:30 pm.)
Our annual end-of-summer seafood
party has become so popular that it would be hard to find a big
enough home to host it. So, this year, we rented a space in Metzger
Park, Tigard. To cover the cost of rental, please bring $5
per person. But, hey, you get a whole dinner in return!
Our club will provide the
seafood (salmon, shellfish, etc.) and the sodas and water. BYOB and bring a side dish or dessert.
If your last name begins with:
A - L,
bring a salad or side dish;
M - Z:
bring dessert.
Metzger Park is easy to get to, just a few blocks
east of Washington Square Mall. It has plenty of free parking, has a
nice, large room for eating, PLUS a deck for outside seating. We'll
jave e a BBQ to cook on, and there is a nice big fully equipped
kitchen..
Location: Metzger County Park,
8400 SW Hemlock Street
(corner of Hall & Hemlock)
Tigard, OR 97223.

Teton Gravity Research Ski
Film
"Light the Wick"
Oct. 23 (Saturday).
Location: The
Bagdad Theater, Portland.
Here's an opportunity to
view a great new film, by Teton Gravity, entitled “Light the Wick”.
This film, which is partially done in 3-D, will be shown at the
Baghdad Theatre on Saturday evening, October 23rd. The plan is to
get a block of seats so that we can attend as a group.
Teton will be offering
free lift tickets to Stevens Pass, which will work well for those of
you who plan to go on the Leavenworth trip. They promise to have
other goodies to raffle off, as well as other swag.
Our group price to attend
the movie is $14. To reserve your spot, you must send
your payment to the club ahead of time so that we can alert Teton as
to the number of seats we’d like them to hold for us. Deadline is
September 25th, which is the date of the annual Seafood Party,
so you could pay your money that night. Otherwise, please remit
payment to Mountain High, PO Box 2182, Portland, OR 97302.
Also, please contact
Gordy Lusk,

Maybe last year for the Canada Ski Safari.
If you want to go on the
Canada
Ski Safari, this year might be your last chance. Or maybe
it's already too late. Every year, the list of freebies is
getting shorter, and the deals are getting less attractive.
This year, instead of a completely free lift ticket to all
Canadian ski areas, it is only a 2-for-1. No more Apex, no more
Crystal Mt., no more Mt. Alyeska, and this year, again, it's Mt. Bachelor instead of
Meadows. Also, no more discounts at the Ski Chalet or the
US Outdoor Store. Only the Mountain Shop remains.
Everyone attending the movie will
receive:
1. 2-for-1 lift tickets to 3 Canadian ski
areas (Big White,
Silver Star, and Sun Peaks) valid
either before December 17, 2010, or after March 28, 2011.
2. Lift ticket to Mt.
Bachelor, valid Monday - Friday, either before Dec. 17
or after April 1st. Or use it as a 2-for-1 coupon valid Monday -
Friday from Jan. 3 - March 31, except for Jan. 17-21, and Feb.
21-26, 2011.
3. $25 off at The Mountain Shop,
628 NE Broadway
Portland, for a purchase of $100 or more . Cannot be combined with any
other offers or discounts. Offer Expires Dec.31, 2010.
To get all this stuff, all you
need to do is
come see the movie with us, on Friday, Nov. 5, at 6:30 pm.,
There is also a show at 9:30 pm,
but most of us will go to the earlier show, and we'll meet for dinner
around 4:30 pm (Friday), at Tree's Restaurant,
located inside the PacWest Building on 5th Avenue (between
Madison and Jefferson).Plan on walking over to the
theater by about 6:00 pm, to have time to browse around the
various displays and booths in the hallways (both downstairs and
up on the second level.
Send your $20 per
person check now, for group tickets purchase, by Saturday,
September 25. After this date, it will
cost you about $25 at Ticketmaster (due to an added convenience
charge of $5.50). Tickets will also be available at the
Mountain Shop. Ticket sales start September
16th, so let's not wait too long. Emilio will purchase movie tickets only for those
who send in their money in advance.
For expediency, and to avoid
hassling our club's Treasurer with a multitude of individual
checks, please make your $20 check
payable to Emilio Trampuz, and send it to:
Emilio Trampuz
4742 Liberty Rd. S., #296
No need to include any forms for
this. Only, please indicate if you are planning to join us
for dinner or not.
Dinner is optional, but it's a
great way to socialize, meet some new members, find out who else
is going on that trip you were eyeing for this season, ... etc.

The annual
Ski
Fair
======
Nov. 8 (Monday).
Starting at:
6:00 pm.
Admission: FREE.
One evening only, at the Holiday
Inn, at Portland Airport, It's at 8439 NE Columbia Blvd.,
Portland, OR 97220.
This is a
smaller, more intimate show (as compared to
the Ski Fever & Snowboard Show), but a lot
of ski areas and all the local ski clubs
will be here. Plus, admission is free!
Meet local ski clubs and ski areas.
- Check out what other local ski clubs are up
to.
- See what's new at the local ski areas.
- Silent Auction,
- Raffle, and more!
- You can renew your club membership at
our club's booth.
- All our members can purchase a
Meadows 10-time pass for
only $330 (instead of the regular $395) at the Ski Fair.
NOTE 1: The 1-time pass will now have your photo on it and you will
not be able to share it with your friends at the end of the season.
But, on the positive side, you don't have to go to the ticket office
every time. Instead, you can now hop straight onto the lift.
NOTE 2: Normally, you need to gather a group of 10 people to get
this group discount, but here, at the Ski Fair, you get the same
discount without the hassle of gathering a group, since we are
already members of a larger group. Meadows has extended this
discount to all local ski clubs affiliated with the NW Ski Club
Council. That's all of us!
-
At the
Oregon Cancer Ski Out booth, you can also register your team
for the upcoming event Feb. 28 - March 1st, 2010. All you need is the
basic $170 deposit (for the whole 5-person team). Your other team
mates can then add their share at a later time, online.
Print
flyer (in PDF
format) and post it somewhere!
Or, see same
flyer in JPG format
(not quite as sharp).
