Tele Tuesdays are a lot of fun and coincide with Ski Bowl’s Lady’s Night were dames ski for cheap. $14 we think but don’t quote us. The Snowrider Project will be there with bells on, tabling and carrying on. Who knows, we might even ride a few runs. See you there! Let us know if you have any questions.

Coming soon to a Mt. Hood Ski Bowl lift tower near you…

Jeremy of the Mountain Shop just emailed to announce the confirmed dates for Tele Tuesdays at Mt. Hood Ski Bowl: January 13th, February 3rd & March 3rd.

Be there or be a trapezoid. Tele Tuesday’s are a ton of fun and a great time to check out new gear be it tele skis & boots and/or alpine touring skis, boots, and you name it. If you’ve never telemarked before this is a great place to start with the fun atmosphere and super friendly folks. Think of this as the antithesis of paddling out at Seaside Point. There are fun races(uphill & downhill) and tele clinics galore taught by some of the hottest pinheads this side of Trondheim. Snowrider will be there too tabling and carrying on and possibly even skiing.

The first Mt. Hood Ski Bowl/Snowrider Project mountain cleanup was a success! Conditions were ideal and the turnout better than expected given the last minute nature of the event. Thanks to all who participated and Troy Fischer of Ski Bowl who helped set up the event and fed us.

Folks,

Late notice is better than no notice! Last week Mt. Hood Ski Bowl confirmed the plan for a Mt. Hood Ski Bowl cleanup THIS Saturday, July 26. Arrive at 10am and the lifts open at 11am so people can start from the top and walk on down the mountain trash bags in hand. You NEVER know what you will find beneath a chairlift! Please bring friends and/or family as this is a family friendly event. We will be sharing cleanup duties with a boy scout troop or two we’re told.

Fire smoke or no the views from the top of ‘da Bowl’ are always pleasing. He or she who finds the most cell phones wins a Snowrider t-shirt.  The good folks at ‘da Bowl’ will provide a low brow bbq ‘n soda pop deal in the afternoon. If you tastes veer towards the high brow by all means bring your own grillables and something to keep them cool with.

If you have any questions of would like to carpool please call the Snowrider point person Eric Jeffcoat at 503.806.4796 or eri[at]frontsideproductions.com
