Tele Tuesdays 2012

snowriderpdx — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:18:14 +0000

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!

Tele Tuesdays @ Mt. Hood Ski Bowl 2009 Dates Announced

snowriderpdx — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 23:20:36 +0000

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.

Mt. Hood Ski Bowl [mountain cleanup] Saturday, July 26

snowriderpdx — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 16:03:03 +0000

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

You can also contact Troy Fischer at Ski Bowl at 503.314.0959 or tfischer[at]skibowl.com
