Columbia River Bike Ride 

From The Dalles to the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and back

August 9, 2020.  (Sunday)

We did this same ride twice before in recent years. This time, there were two differences:
  1. Instead of having lunch at a restaurant in The Dalles at the end of the ride, we had a picnic lunch at the end of the paved bike trail behind the Discovery Center.  Everyone brought their own food and drink.
  2. We maintained a safe distance between us and wore face masks when we were not riding or eating.
It was a beautiful sunny day.  A total of 11 people participated. Everyone had a good time.

Ski the Glade Trail Day 

Living history ride from Timberline to Government Camp

March 7, 2020.  (Saturday)

Our last few events before the corona virus pandemic forced an end to our ski season were all held on this weekend:  the Glade Trail Day, Ski to Defeat ALS, Ski & Ride for the Cure (Hope on the Slopes), and the Oregon Cancer Ski Out.  We only have pictures from the Glade Trail Day.

The Glade Trail Day is an annual event, held from the year 2003.  It is a living history experience, giving us a taste of what skiing was like in the 1920s and 1930s, before there were any ski lifts on Mt. Hood.  In those days, all trails started from Government Camp. People had to climb up the hill, usually up to the 6,000 foot level - where Timberline Lodge is now located, and then skied back down. 

The difference now is that we have the luxury of shuttle buses to take us up to Timberline. Also, this is the only day of the year that the Glade Trail is groomed and patrolled by the Mt. Hood ski patrol.  Included in the event are breakfast, lunch, and a happy hour with door prizes.  The event is organized by and benefits the Mt. Hood Cultural Center & Museum in Government Camp.  Put this event on your bucket list and participate next year.

Also, see a video about the Glade Trail Day - https://youtu.be/3A1jucFz4Yo

Powder Highway Ski Trip 

Panorama, Kimberley, and Fernie

plus an optional day at Kicking Horse

Feb. 22 - Mar. 1, 2020.  

Our longest trip of the season.  A total of about 9 days. Most of the the trip was centered around Panorama, in British Columbia.  Fernie and Kimberley were visited for one day each on the way there and back.  Plus, an optional day at Kicking Horse was arranged for those who wanted it.  This trip was led by Karen Michels.

Whitefish Ski Trip 

with optional day at Blacktail Mt.

Feb. 8 - 15, 2020.  

This was our most flexible trip ever.  People could fly, drive their cars, or take the train.  Approximately equal numbers of people chose each of these options.  People could stay fro 4, 5, or 7 days.  Almost every day, or every other day, someone new would arrive. A total of 42 people participated, but only 8 people went on the optional day trip to Blacktail Mountain, even though we had plenty of room for at least a few more in our cars. This trip was organized by Bill King.

Some of us skied George's Gorge, a natural half-pipe on the back side of the mountain.

It was named after one of the founders of the Whitefish ski area, George Prentice.

The other founder, Ed Schenk, has a run named after him on the front side of the mountain ("Ed's Run").

Silver Star Ski Trip  


Jan. 27 - Feb. 2, 2020.  

We have been visiting Silver Star for the past  4 years in a row.  This was our 5th visit.  It's a great place for ski-in/ski-out lodging. Just get out of your lodge and step into your bindings.  This trip was led by Karen Michels.

49º North, Mt. Spokane, Bluewood

January 17 - 20 , 2020. 

Three ski areas in three days. We experienced the best of both worlds on this trip, from fresh powder to sunshine.  We had excellent light powder at 49 Degrees North on the first day.   At Mt. Spokane, the powder was still ight, but it had stopped snowing and we even got some sunshine.  At Bluewood, on the last day of the trip, we had partly cloudy and partly sunny skies and the groomed snow was great, but the ungroomed powder had solidified and got heavier.

There was also lots of entertainment on the bus, including our trip leader wearing funny hats, and almost all our dinners were included in the trip price.  This trip was led by Emilio Trampuz.

For a summary of the whole Washington ski trip, see this short video: https://youtu.be/nedCAkJ17qU

Day 2:  Mt. Spokane
Perfect balance of fresh powder, semi-blue skies, and great visibility.  We skied the new back side and loved it. And we visited the famous Vista House at the top of the mountain, which was encrusted in ice and looked like an ice castle from a fairy tale.

Day 3:  Bluewood
Bluewood has usually greeted us with fresh powder on our past trips there.  But this time, it was more of a groomers day.  There were periods of light clouds, and periods of sun. Visibility was perfect.  We didn't take any pictures there, just trying to get the most of the day.  Many people skipped lunch because we wanted to leave early, by 2 pm, in order to get home at a reasonable hour that same evening.

Table reserved for Oregon club
Two tables were reserved for the "Oregon ski club".  That was us, of course.
But many people didn't even see this sign because they didn't stop for lunch.

History Happy Hour
Vintage Movie Outtakes
 

December 28, 2019.  (Saturday)

History Happy Hour is a monthly event on the last Saturday of each month.  You can buy a beer, a glass of wine, or a soft drink at the entrance, and then enjoy a presentation.  This month, Lloyd Musser (the Museum's curator) presented several vintage ski movie outtakes.  Every shari in the room at the museum was filled.

Early Skiing on Mt. Hood

January 12, 2020.

Snow was late in coming to Skibowl, which didn't open until after the new year.  But, once it came, it came in droves.  The whole Northwest has been pounded with snow for a couple of weeks, with one more week of snow in the forecast, until about January 18 or 19.
The weekend of January 11 - 12 was stormy, by not everywhere and not all the time.  Mt. Hood Meadows was closed temporarily on Saturday, due to high winds. High winds were also forecast for Sunday and Monday, with gusts of up to 80 mph.
But not at Skibowl, at least not on Sunday morning. Several of our club members stayed home because of the forecast.  But the few of us who came anyway found that there was no wind at all at Skibowl between 9 am and noon.  And highway 26 was completely free of snow, with bare pavement until about 3 miles before Skibowl.
The mountain often creates its own weather, and you can never tell how it will be until you come and see for yourself.  

Skibowl fun
This was a good day!   Emilio, Keith, Kurt, and Malcolm having fun at Skibowl.

December 15 - 31, 2019.

This season began with low snow levels, below average, and the snow came late. Some of our members hit the slope for the first time on Sunday, December 15, .... and after a period of rain and then more snow, we hit the slopes again on December 22, and then again on December 28.  Here are a few photos from different people.

Mt. High Kickoff Party

November 7, 2019.  (Thursday)

About 50+ people attended our annual Kickoff Party. There was free pizza and salad.  Several people won door prizes, ranging from ski hats to Mountain High gift certificates for $30 - $40.  Also, as usual, people renewed their club memberships, picked up their membership cards, and signed up for trips and/or for PACRAT racing. Overall, it was a nice turnout and the room was pleasantly filled.  But 50 out of over 250 club members is only 20% of our members.  Where were the others?

 

Debbi addresses the room

Debbi Kor - our president - made several announcements.

Also, our trip leaders said a few words about the upcoming ski trips.

 SkiFever & Snowboard Show

November 1 - 3, 2019.  (Friday - Sunday)

Our club had a booth at the SkiFever Show at the Portland Expo Center.  PACRAT racers, the NW Ski Club Council, and the Ski Patrol also had a free booth near us.

At our booth, you could renew your membership and sign up for trips, racing, and more.  Thanks to all the volunteers who helped staff our booth.

Warren Miller Movie + Dinner

October 12, 2018.  (Monday)

Sandra Smith organized this event, as she has been doing for many years now. 

About 60 people participated in the group purchase of lift tickets, and about 25 of them showed up for dinner and/or drinks before the movie.  The 2019 movie is called "Timeless".

 

This year was the first time that the raffle for door prizes was done online, digitally.  Instead of a paper form to fill out, an image projected on the big screen instructed people to use their smartphones to go to the Warren Miller Entertainment website, fill out the form there, and the names of the winners were almost instantly drawn from those entries and the winners were announced at the end of the intermission.
