Minto-Brown Island Park bike ride

 
July 13, 2024. (Saturday)  Eight of us enjoyed a bicycle ride through 3 parks, starting at Wallace Marine Park in West Salem, through Salem's Riverfront PArk, and then spending most of our time eiding in Mint-Brown Island park.  It was a very warm day, but during the moerning, temperatures gradually rose between 70 and 79ºF. Also, there was a cool breeze, and we had lots of shade from trees. We ended the ride with brunch at Annette's restaurant in West Salem.

Barlow Trail (Oregon Trail) bike ride

 
June 29, 2024. (Saturday) This was a history tour of parts of the Oregon Trail established by Samuel Barlow in 1845 and 1846.  We rode our bicycles from Barlow Pass (4 miles east of Government Camp) to Welches, where we had a late lunch / early dinner at the Chicali Cantina.  We followed a mix of roads and trails, including the original waqgon trail called "Barlow Road", the old Mt. Hod Loop Highway, which is now mostly abandoned, and parts of highway 26 and nearby roads and trails, including a portion of the Pioneer Bridle Trail.  Twelve people participated.

Happy Hour in April

 
April 2, 2024.  (Tuesday)  Almost every month we have a social gathering such as a Happy Hour, a Pizza Party, a Chocolate Party, and more. At a recent Happy Hour, there were a dozen people.  This time, only 6 people showed up.

This was our "April Fools" happy hour, though held a day later.  A good time was had by all. It was small and intimate and cozy. We met at at McMenamin's, near the Lloyd Center, 1504 NE Broadway, Portland, Oregon.

Ski the Glade Trail Day

 
March 2, 2024.  (Saturday)  This event is an annual reenactment of how skiing was done in the 1920s and 1930s, before there were any ski lifts on Mt. Hood.  All trails started from Government Camp.  People had to climb up before they could ski down. Later, they were able to ride a bus to Timberline, and then ski down. And for a short time, they were able to ride the Skiway tram that was a modified bus that traveled along cables from Government Camp to Timberline Lodge.

For the past 21 years, since 2003, the Mt.  Hood Museum in Government Camp has been organizing this event, where shuttle buses transport skiers up to Timberline, and then people ski or ride down the 3 mile Glade Trail to Government Camp, and they can do it multiple times. This is the only day of the year that the Glade Trail is grooomed and patrolled by the Mt. Hood Ski Patrol.  It is always done on the first Saturday in March.

McCall, Idaho trip

Brundage Mountain and Tamarack

 
February 11 - 16, 2024.  (Monday)  Our club members had a great time on the trip to McCall, Idaho, with skiing at Brundage Mountain and Tamarack.  Both ski areas are on the Indy Pass, so skiing there was free for all of us who had an Indy Pass.


Walt Blomberg wrote: "2 days at Tamarack resort and 3 at Brundage with Jim Cadwell, Kay Kinyon and an assortment of other Mountain High Ski Club members. Had plenty of sunshine and 2 glorious days of fresh powder!"

Snowvana 


November 19-21, 2021.  (Friday - Sunday)

This year, Snwovana was held at The Convention Center.

Hood were present, as well as Silver Mountain (Idaho), Hoodoo, and Mt. Ashland.
