Sunny Tuesday On Mt.Adams, WA

Sunny Tuesday On Mt.Adams, WA

The Northwest finally transitioned out of the six week, mid-winter, high pressure hole and back to a more normal state of tree-well paranoia.  Over the past week, a storm system came in multiple waves with fairly light and very deep snowfall, 40 inch in total.  Welcome back powder boarding.

This season, the installation of Big Rainbow was postponed for whatever reason. (The reasons behind the park bosses’ decisions may never be known.) Well, they finally put it up on Saturday, February […]

Meadows Park Riding

Meadows Park Riding

The Northwest is still suffering from the mid-winter blah.  Every year we sit for weeks and wait patiently for our wet weather to return and deliver more powder.  You may think it sounds selfish to ask for powder but the reality of riding exposed volcanos like mt.Hood, is that groomed snow dosen’t hold well.  Heavy winds, blasting sun and large expanses of […]
