All Things Snowrider in PDX and OR

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!

We are stoked to announce that 2 new sets of our “Don’t Be A Tosser” signs grace the Palmer & Magic Mile lifts at Timberline ski area. If you’ve ever been up on the mountain in the summer months it’s hard to deny the ugly truth that comes with the spring melt and summer crowds.

With the recent install of the Snowrider signs, now everyone riding up the Palmer and Mile will be reminded that we all need to do a better job keeping our mountain clean.

Special thanks to Steve Kruse, Boyd Bonney and their crew at Timberline for helping to make this a reality. Also big thanks go out to Bill Westbrook of the US Forest Service, Troy Fisher and the folks at Ski Bowl for being the first to step up to the plate.

We welcome Mt. Hood Meadows into the fold next season.
