Tele Tuesdays 2012
Coming up next Tuesday Night (January 10th) at Ski Bowl is our first of two Tele Tuesday events (the second event is Feb 21st). Tele Tuesday is a fundraiser for The Friends of the NW Weather and Avalanche Center.
The Mountain Shop will be set up from 5 PM to 9 PM demoing the latest Telemark and Alpine Touring equipment. At 7 pm we will also have Telemark lessons available for beginning and intermediate level skiers provided by WyEast Nordic. Also at 7PM we will have a uphill/downhill race. The uphill/downhill event (known in some circles as a rando race) is open to all disciplines, Telemark, Nordic (if you are brave enough to ski off the top of the upper bowl on skinny skis), Alpine Tourers and Splitboarders.
New for this year at Tele Tuesday’s is a Avalanche transceiver demo from 5-7pm. Avalanche instructors from Timberline Mountain Guides and Mountain Savvy will be on hand to help participants check out the latest avalanche transceivers. We also will have Terminal Gravity beer on tap in the A-frame (Outback Lodge) for $3 a pint with the proceeds going to the Snowrider Project. We will move up to the Bierstube at 10 pm for a raffle and prizes for the race.
All event participants must purchase a lift ticket from Ski Bowl or have an active pass. Registration for the race, demo, and lessons goes from 5 pm to 6:30 pm. Event fees are as follows.
$10 for ski and avalanche transceiver demo
$15 for uphill/downhill race
$25 for Telemark lessons
See you up on the mountain!

Scenes from the Salmon River Canyon Cleanup Sept. 17, 2011
The weather didn’t cooperate but that didn’t dampen our spirits. The 1st Salmon River Canyon Cleanup on Mt. Hood was a success. Big thanks go out to The US Forest Service and the Zig Zag district crew, Timberline Lodge and employee Harold Cooley, The Portland Mountain Rescue Crew and their winch, Next Adventure, American Medical Response and the 30 or so volunteers who spent the better part of a damp Saturday cleaning up a large mess.
Salmon River Canyon Cleanup 2011
Friends & Mountain Folk,
Saturday, September 17. Timberline Lodge Salmon River Canyon parking lot aka the Climber’s Lot. 9:00am.
Save the date and arrive on time because we’re kicking off the inaugural Salmon River Canyon Cleanup on Mt. Hood. Here are some things you should know and bring:
1. This will not be like a walk in the park or on the beach. The terrain is challenging and the distance covered roughly one mile.
2. Pack your own lunch and plenty of water.
3. Be prepared for iffy if not rotten weather though of course we’re hoping for glorious sunshine.
4. Bring your own leather gloves. Leather is key as it’s not easily pierced by sharp metal objects.
5. Wear sturdy footwear with boots being the best bet.
6. Recyclable garbage bags will be provided.
If you plan to attend please send us an email to snowriderpdx@gmail.com and include the names and number of participants. Space this year is limited to 50 adults. The 1st annual Salmon River Canyon Cleanup is a partnership between The US Forest Service, Timberline Lodge, Next Adventure, Snowrider Project PDX and the AMR Reach & Treat Team. We hope to see you Saturday, September 17th at 9am!
