Picnic
September 16, 2018. (Sunday)
This year, we
held ou annual picnic at Vancouver Lake.
Admittedly, the weather
was somewhat unpredictable, but we did get periods of sunshine and
some wonderful blue sky. The sausages were great! People
brought wonderful side dishes. The company of fellow skiers
was pleasant. We'll do it again, only next year probably
earlier in the summer.

Picnic was held in this shelter, named Heron North.

Idaho bike trip
September 1 - 6, 2018. (Saturday - Thursday)
A dozen of us enjoyed a 5
or 6 day mini vacation riding our bikes across the Idaho panhandle,
from the Montana border to just south of Coeur d'Alene, near the
Washington border. We actually rode on 4 trails:
1. The Sacagawea
Heritage Trail in Kennewick, WA. A total of 23 miles, but
we only did about 10.
2. The Route of the
Hiawatha, a 15-mile dirt road through 10 train tunnels and 7
high trestles. Starting in Montana, ending in Idaho.
3. The Trail of the
Coeur d'Alenes (the CDA Trail) - a 72 mile paved bicycle trail
across the Idaho panhandle, from the Montana border to close to the
Washington border. We split that into 3 separate days. We saw
a lot of wildlife on one of those days, when we biked between
Harrison and Medimont.
4. A few of us also used
the Silver Mountain gondola for uphill transportation so they
could ride a mountain bike trail from the top of Silver Mountain
down to the town of Kellogg, Idaho.

video summary of the whole trip at:

Barlow Road field
trip
August 25-26, 2018. (Saturday - Sunday)
This was a 2 day
celebration of the 175th anniversary of the Oregon Trail.
There were some wagons arriving in Oregon as early as 1841 and 1842,
but the big migration really started in 1843, when almost 1,000
people came to Oregon.
On Saturday, Lloyd
Musser, curator of the Mt. Hood Museum, gave a presentation with
slides at the Museum in Government Camp. Some of us then
stayed he night at the Cascade Lodge, thanks to the hospitality of the
Cascade ski club and its president, Jon Waldum.
On Sunday, starting at 10
am, we followed Barlow Road, the original wagon route, from Barlow
Pass (5 miles east of Government Camp) to Zig Zag, where we ended
the day with a late lunch / early dinner around 4:30 pm.
Approximately a dozen
hikers/carpoolers participated, as well as about a dozen bike riders
(both mountain bikers and road bikers). We might have had more
participants, but this turned out to be the only misty/rainy day of
the month. The "rain" was really just a fine mist. As
usual on Mt. Hood, the rain stopped at 10:05 am. The roads
dried out almost completely. The mistiness returned late in
the day, around 4 pm, but by then we were close to Zig Zag Inn.
Lloyd Musser led
the hikers, Lisa Miller led the mountain bikers, and
Emilio Trampuz led the road bikers.All 3 groups came
together after almost every mile of the route, and Lloyd Musser
spoke at each stop to give us some background about the place and
its history.

Barlow Road cleanup
July 14, 2018. (Saturday)
Four volunteers showed up
to act as the "first wagon train of the season", namely to clean up
fallen trees, branches, and other debris from the route of the
Oregon Pioneer wagons, in preparation for the August 25-26, 2018
guided field trip of Barlow Road, as part of the celebration of the
175th anniversary of the Oregon Trail. You see, Barlow Road
was not very well maintained and it usually fell to the first wagon
train of the season to clear the path of any fallen trees. That's
what we were doing here.
Thanks to the many hands
present, Kay Kinyon, Lisa Miller, John Davis,
and Emilio Trampuz, the work progressed swiftly. We
managed to clean up Laurel Hill before lunch. So, after lunch,
we decided to also clean up the area between Barlow Pass and the
Pioneer Woman's grave, which had originally been planned for another
day. Thus, we did 2 days worth of work in a single day!
The route is now almost
ready to be shown to anyone who shows up for the field trip on
Sunday, August 26, 2018.

Salem Parks bike ride
Riverfront pak & Minto-Brown park
June 23, 2018. (Saturday)
Thirteen of us gathered
at the Wallace Marine Park in West Salem, where we parked our cars
in the shade of old growth trees. We then crossed the
Willamette River by way of a pedestrian bridge that used to be a
railroad bridge in the past. Then we rode through Riverfront
park and crossed a newer pedestrian bridge into Minto-Brown park,
where we had many miles of both paved an unpaved bike paths.
We stayed on paved trails this time.
At the end of the ride,
we had lunch/brunch at the Busic Court restaurant on Court Street.
The ride was good, the food was good, and the weather cooperated
very nicely. The temperature was just right for the ride, and
it was slightly overcast most of the morning. Later in the
day, it got warmer and the clouds gradually cleared away.
Everyone had a good time

Mt. High Highway Cleanup
May 12, 2018. (Saturday)
Eight of us gathered on
this sunny Saturday morning to clean up our adopted portion of
highway 26, just west of Government Camp, between mileposts 51 - 53.
After the cleanup, we had
lunch at The Taco Shoppe, where the owner, Kevin Bastin, welcomed us
and gave us the usual 10% discount that he offers to all our club
members.

Timberline Adventures
Spring
2018. (March, April, May)
As in past years, in
addition to marking the safety boundaries west of Timberline, Emilio
also offers guided tours of the area. Early in the Spring, we ski
from Timberline to Government Camp, along the Glade, Alpine, and
Blossom trails.
Later in the Spring, we
explore some of the canyons west of Timberline, including Zig Zag,
Little Zig Zag, and Sand canyon. NOTE: It is very easy
to get lost in the forest. Also, Zig Zag canyon is a dangerous
trap if you go too far, and there are no safety signs in Zig Zag
canyon at all. That is the purpose of the guided tours, to
show you where you can ski safely and where you should never go.
The following is a set of
pictures taken at different times and in different places. Many of
them are taken out of bounds, where if the snow is good, any
intermediate skier can do it. But there are times when the ungroomed
snow is too difficult to ski on, in which case we stay on groomed
trails.

(Photo from Lisa Miller)
This was the start of a wonderful day. It was the first
day that the Palmer chair opened this Spring, and it was
also the first day this Spring that the ungroomed snow
was really good and easy to ski on, so we visited Little
Zig Zag canyon and everyone had a blast there.
Bill King, our club's Vice-president, is in the
foreground of this picture. Behind him are Bruce McGavin
(in the red jacket), Clary DeRemer (in yellow) and Susan

Initially, there were 12 of us, but we later connected
with Susan and Buck, for a total of 14 people. |

USEFUL TIP: Whenever you are west of Timberline,
if you get disoriented, always head toward Mt.
Jefferson. It will bring you back to civilization
safely. If you are high enough, it will bring you
back to the lifts. If you are lower down on the
mountain, heading toward Mt. Jefferson will bring you to
the Glade Trail, and that will take you to Government
Camp. (Photo from Emilio Trampuz) |
|
The Glade Trail is groomed only once a year, on the Ski
the Glade Trail Day, always on the first Saturday of
March.
Unfortunately, this year, the event was cancelled, but
we still skied the Glade Trail from Timberline to
Government Camp on several occasions.

Glade Trail Day for March 3, 2018. |

Brundage Mt. (Idaho) and
Anthony Lakes (Oregon)
bus trip
February 21 - 24,
2018. (Wednesday - Saturday)
Linda McGavin led this
trip with 35 of our club members. We enjoyed a 4- day tip trip to
McCall, Idaho. We skied Brundage Mountain two days and then
headed homeward. But we stopped for a night at Baker City, Oregon,
and then skied Anthony Lakes for a day.
We had the best
conditions imaginable. The night we arrived in McCall,
Idaho, it started snowing heavily and Brundage Mountain received
about 6 or 7 inches of fresh snow. So much snow that all the
trails that had been groomed the night before seemed totally
ungroomed. Brundage Mt. did an excellent job of grooming
several of their trial again early in the morning, before opening.
These double-groomed slopes still collected one or two inches of
fresh powder, so, according to Michael Hayes (the Brundage Mt.
representative) we were all skiing on their famous "powderoy"
(powder + corduroy).
The next day turned out
to be a perfect bluebird day.with blue skies, sunshine and great
visibility.
The third day, we skied
at Anthony Lakes, Oregon, which has the highest base area in Oregon
at 7,100 feet above sea level. The top of Anthony Lakes ski
area is at 8,000 feet. Once again, we received tons of fresh
powder, so that there were almost no groomed trails. All the
slopes consisted of "powderoy".
On this trip, even those
who had never imagined they woyuld be skiing in deep powder became
powder skiers. And the powder was very light, dry, and fluffy.
We had to tell ourselves to ignore the visual cues (the deep ruts
made by other skiers), and simply ski as if it was a pristine,
untouced slope, because there was no difference in how it felt to
ski through the troughs or through what looked like "moguls" in
between the ruts. The snow simply parted and gave way to our
skis. It was wonderful.
During our first day at
Brundage Mountain, 10 of us went Snowcat skiing on a hill adjacent
to the resort. Everyone had a blast. See a
short video
of the snowcat skiers here. The video was produced by Jack Hardy.

Far West Ski Association's
Safety Person of the Year Award
Trip to Telluride
February 3- 13,
2018.
Kay Kinyon and
Emilio Trampuz enjoyed a trip to Telluride, Colorado.
This was the result of a Safety award they received from the
Far West Ski Association. In this case, it was for posting safety
boundary signs on Mt. Hood to prevent skiers from getting lost in
the forest. This was done with permission from the Forest Service.
You too can win this award. Just do something to enhance skier
safety.
On the way to Telluride,
Kay and Emilio stopped to ski at several ski areas, including
Bogus Basin (Idaho), and Sundance (Utah), the ski
area owned by Robert Redford (near Orem and Provo). Later that same
day, we stopped for some sightseeing at the Arches National Park
(near Moab).
After spending 4 days and
5 nights in Telluride, we visited the following on the drive
back home: Purgatory ski area (CO), Natural
Bridges, Capitol Reef, and Bryce National Park
(Utah), Brian Head ski area (UT), and Powder Mountain
(UT). What a trip!!!

The Red boundary (lower down on the mountain) will bing
you to the Glade Trail and then Government Camp.

We got 6 or 7 inches of fresh snow on our first day
there, so we skied our hearts out and didn't take any
pictures.

cut up already.

Award.
Canada trip: Okanagan
Adventure
to Sun Peaks and Silver Star
January 20 - 27,
2018. (Saturday - Saturday)
About 46 of our club members enjoyed a week-longs trip to Canada,
with 2 days and nights at Sun Peaks and 4 days and 5 niights at
Silver Star. We had ski-in/ski-out accommodations at both
places. At Sun Peaks, one of the highlights was an opportunity to
ski with Nancy Green, who won Olympic gold in Giant Slalom at the
Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France, in 1968. Nancy Greene now
owns a hotel in Sun Peaks and is also a member of Canadian Senate.
She was very playful, energetic, and hospitable. She took us to a
few secret spots we might not have discovered on our own.
Also at Sun Peaks, some of us did a complete circle of all 3
peaks, using the "Back in Time" trail to complete the circle.
At Silver Star, we had great conditions, two days of snowing
deposited several inches of fresh powder, followed by a couple of
cold but sunny days. On of the attractions was seeing dozens
of Australian young people celebrating Australia Day by skiing in
swim suits and bikinis. Another special attraction was a
sleigh ride and a dinner outing.

with her. She was giving a guided tour to a ski
club representative from Texas (the man standing next to
her). The others in the picture (from left to

Mt. Baker and
The Summit at Snoqualmie bus trip
January 5 - 7,
2017. (Friday - Sunday)
About 40 of our club
members enjoyed a weekend bus trip to Mt. Baker and the Summit at
Snoqualmie (including Alpental).
Conditions were far from
ideal. We had some fog, especially at higher elevations, and ice in
many places.
At Mt. Baker, it
was mostly too foggy to take pictures, but we did take a few when we
skied through the Canyon that separates the two hills that form the
ski area.
The thing to remember for
any future visit to Snoqualmie is that of the 3 Snoqualmie
areas (West, Central, and East), the East has the most vertical, the
most interesting terrain, the least fog, no crowds, and on this day
it also had the best snow.

First day of the
season
November 18,
2017. (Saturday)
This Saturday, Nov. 18, 2017 was one of the earliest skiing we've
done in years, almost a week before Thanksgiving. Actually, some of
our members, such as Walt Blomberg, Kay Kinyon, Foxie and Ken, have skied here
even a few days earlier, while it was still snowing. Timberline
finally opened all the lower lifts this Saturday, including the
longest one: Jeff Flood express. We had almost 4 feet of snow base
and a perfectly sunny blue sky. The snow was excellent. It's a pity
that only 4 of us came up on this day: Ruth and Steve (some of our
most recent new members) and Bill King and Emilio Trampuz.
Ruth and Steve would have loved to meet a few more of our members.
Oh, yes, some people went to Mt. Hood Meadows on this day. The
only negative thing on this day at Timberline was the incredibly
long line of people purchasing their Fusion passes in the morning.
It's good to see that there is such an interest in this pass.
The forecast for the coming week is some rain Monday through
Wednesday, then some more snow, and finally partly sunny next
Saturday (Nov. 25). Maybe put down next Saturday as the next ski
day.
