I love that place. A couple Easters ago we met a guy dressed as Jesus; he told us he was a bit drunk, so don’t expect him to rise too early the next day...

I’m usually not a fan of white pizza but daayyyuuuum the truffle shuffle pie is amazing. And when the live music is there, it’s party time for sure...

Congrats on the move, October should be prime time for everyone's least favorite MTB euphemism - "brown pow" - and Hood River is a great location to hit trails around there, Sandy Ridge southern WA, Sisters. If you don't have a bike now ... start saving for one!

Got some really nice turns Friday evening. Hiked to the top of Palmer in my Nikes. Lots of snow melted over the past couple of weeks.

**OregonDead** · 08-23-2018, 05:56 PM

I've been getting all stoked on the cold overnight temps and I am totally ready to ski Palmer tomorrow and then I hear my coworkers talking about how they're meeting here at 2:30 AM to drive to Timberline tomorrow for hood to coast.

Sounds like they will all be parked there with their vans before I can get a parking spot. amirite?
Any of you been up there on HTC day? Race starts at 6 am. Do they even keep the uphill lane open during the race?
Maybe I should hike tomorrow night or just ride the lift Saturday. Hmmmmmm........

HTC teams have to have a way to get up there, so, yes, you should be able to access it.

There will be an announcer going all day, so it will be loud/festive. The start is staged in the main lot. The parking will be tight, but you should be able to get in ok. The starts are staggered through the day, so it's not like every van is there at once. Slower teams go early; faster teams go later in the day. They all have to reach the beach by evening Saturday.

HTC is on the road, so it has no bearing on the ski hill itself beyond traffic

Saturday will be easier, no question.

Thanks man. Love the place... biking out the door, Hood right there, few hours north or south to access more skiing (aka - drive to BBI Alpy). Sure beats the grind of the DC area!

**OregonDead** · 08-25-2018, 07:47 PM

I skied today instead. Stayed nice and cold all day. Good skiing. Bottom of palmer is walk on ski on at mid way. You can ski pretty close to the bottom of the ramp. Hike down from the park looks like a long ways. Maybe 100 yards +. I did not think it was worth it so I didn't go down there. From the lift I could see rails but no jumps or boxes. You can't see much of the park from the lift so IDK. Seemed like only one group training so most of Palmer was public and everything at the end of the day. Found plenty of chunder to jib and jump on on midway laps. Full laps were worth it too.

Line just recently dropped this promo video with some great shots of Timberline and the flow park from last spring.

Stop putting shitty knock off Joy Division graphics on all your skis, then playing shitty jah music to your spring park laps. God damn!

**wyeaster** · 09-01-2018, 11:01 AM

sent from my brain to yours

**OregonDead** · 09-13-2018, 01:07 PM

Mt. Angel Oktoberfest starts today. My band is the Marion County Citizens Band and we play each day in the gazebo by city hall AKA the village bandstand. Stop by and say hi. I'm the trombone player with the big mustache.

**wyeaster** · 09-13-2018, 02:10 PM

**Groomer Gambler** · 09-16-2018, 11:14 AM

Snow on the 7300ft Mt. hood webcam!

**Hood26** · 09-16-2018, 11:53 AM

Palmer Cam is looking good.

Anyone been to the Bend ski swap? Is there a fair amount of kids' gear?

**OregonDead** · 09-17-2018, 09:38 AM

Oh yeah. Jelly if anyone has the time for turns today.

I would say so...usually see a lot of MBSEF parents selling gear.

Thanks! That was what I was hoping to hear. We got an rv spot at the Sisters campground. We are going to take our bikes and make a weekend out of it for my oldest son’s birthday.
