Steve & Phil Mahre
June 12 2026.
(Friday)
Phil and Steve MAhre won Olympic Gold
and Silver medals in Salom in the 1984
Winter Olympics in Sarjevo, Bosnia
(formerly Yugoslavia). They are almost
locals, having grown up at the White
PAss ski area in Washington State.
This week, they led a training camp at
Timberline. In the evening, they
came down to the Mt. Hood Cultural
Center and Museum to tell us about their
races and their adventures. The
room was packed. A few extra
chairs had to be brought in, but in the
end, everyone got a seat. Nobody
had to stand the whole time.
The Mahre brothers were very dynamic and
entertaining, joking wihth each other,
and taking turns at talking. IT
was all very informative, entertaining,
and inspiring. .

Barlow
Trail Cleanup
April to June
2026. (Defferent days, Friday, or
Saturday, or Sunday)
Each year for the past 12 years or so,
EMilio has been maintining the route of
our bike ride along the ORegon Trail
(Barlow Road) and portions of the old
Mt. Hood Loop Highway, to remove fallen
branchesm fallen trees, and rocks.
Some days, there are other volunteers,
including Lisa Miller, Kay Kinyon, John
Davis, Geraled Voergoetter, John
Beaupre, and Brenda Becerra.
This year, more cleanup has been needed
than usual. Some winter storm
brought a torrent pof water , especially
near the horse=tunner and the Little Zig
Zag River Fall parking lot, where trees
have been swept down the hill, and
rocks, branches and other debris were
swept into the tunnel..
We also removed a lot of rocks from
different sections of the trail, to make
the ride smoother and more accessible to
all kinds of bicycles.

February 28
2026. (Saturday)
Some of us went skiing on the day of the
Chocolate Party, and then attended the
party in the evening. WE
identified ourselves as club members by
displaying an orange triangular flag on
our ski poles, attached with a pair of
zip ties. The flag has the club's
logo printed on it.

McCall
ski trip
Brundage
Mt. and Tamarack
February 8 - 13, 2026.
(Sunday - Friday)
This was qa drive-to
and/or carpool ski trip, justl ike
most of our trips since the COVID
pandemic hit us in 2020. Both
Tamaracj and Brundage Mountain are on
the INDY Pass, so we got 2 free ski
days at each ski area, for a total of
4 free ski days.
Conditions at Brundage
Mt. were a bit challenigng, since this
has been the wors snow year for the
westen part of the USA in 48
years. But the conditions at
Tamarack were perfect. Good snow and
sunny days. Everyone had fun.
A total
of 41 of our
club members participated
They were joined by 3
members of the Longview ski club,
and another 25
people from the Bogus Basin Ski
Club.

Snowvana
October 24 - 26, 2025.
(Friday - Sunday)
The annual "Snowvana" ski
show was held at the Expo
Center. The NW Ski Club Council,
reresenting all local ski clubs, had a
booth there. Individual clubs
did not have their own booth, but
instead could place their flyers on
the NWSCC's table.
Several of our club members
volunteered to staff the NWSCC booth
for a 2-hour shift, in exchange for a
free admission to the show.
