slopetool Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Dear Mom - Overnite it was 25 degrees and snowing up at the mountain. And now the clouds have departed and its clearing up. How about I stop by and see you later in the week? Love you, Ed I hope the snow doesn't get too slow once the temperatures warm up. But it should be good in the morning hours. http://www.timberlinelodge.com/ski_ride/conditions.php Hope to see someone else up there so it won't become a micro-carve fest like normal.

Buell Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Hey Ed, You can count Rebecca and I as there in spirit. We would certainly be there if we could - those are some great pictures coming from T-line right now. I am doing my best to be able to ride a little in June. Enjoy the mountain for us.

slopetool Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hi Buell - there was definitely lots of turns made for those who couldn't be in attendance. You guys didn't miss out on much. Mt. Hood will always be there for later days. Now, for those who had the best intentions of making it for some outstanding snow... you really screwed up. It was great. The snow is holding up well, not the greatest. The June carve get-together should have plenty of coverage. Theres always the next two weeks until the Summer rates apply. Talk to you later - Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P06781 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Heading up wednesday if anyones interested . May bring some gear for the above palmer action..... Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Now, for those who had the best intentions of making it for some outstanding snow... you really screwed up. It was great. I dont want to talk about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P06781 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Had another great day today. I saw Shaun White in the lodge while getting my ticket. Rode 2 hours of good groomers on palmer. They started to groom more lanes up high as the Mile is really melting fast from last week. They are ready for summer with the midway station on palmer ready. Rode a few runs with Ed's wife Libby. Sorry you had to work Ed The best part was the end of day climb above palmer and traverse to illumination rock. All I can say is that place is the ****z . It is so huge up there and was so smooth today its unreal. This is the place to ride when you come to T-line. Next time I climbing to top up by the crater. Nature grooms way better than any diesel cat. Only if I didnt have to come back so early to get the kids from school..... Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopetool Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 How are you guys and gals feeling about the next dates of the Summer season Carve get-together? In two weeks, June 15, 16, 17th? Everyone still getting fired up for a few more turns before hanging up the Spring parka? Theres still plenty of snow up there! And it is melting fast with the recent warm spell. http://www.timberlinelodge.com/ski_ride/conditions.php Go ahead and deflate that river inner tube, dude. And put those golf clubs away, Biff. The Snowperformance clinic will love your euro-carve hip dragging style, you animal! :lol: Or my favorite, the arm-flapping bird cordoroy attack.

Art Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hey Ed, Ill take that floor if the offer still stands. Name your favorite brew and plenty will show up with me. Saturday the 16th. Thanks, Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinecure Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 There's a snowperformance carving camp that weekend. There shoudl be a bunch of folks around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Sounds like Al and Fe (visiting from Wisconsin) managed to sneak in a pretty good day before the rain started at around noon or 11:30. (hey Jim, they have less accent than you do ) See their post in the main forum. They took some photos and will hopefully share them here or on FLC. They called saying that it was not busy yet and some of the Disabled Ski team was up TRENCHing big time. I think the weather may clear for them Sunday and it should be a great day for them.

Sinecure Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Roll call for this weekend? I'll be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopetool Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Yes, how about we meet on the top of each hour or try to at the top of the Palmer lift. And its pretty easy to spot people if you are looking around. Weather should be pretty good. See you all there. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Dahl Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 If my rental house wasn't closing on the 20th, I'd consider hittin' the place up on Sunday! Alas, I have final prep work to do, so once again I am shot down..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I am leaving around 0600 so I should be there around 0930 or so as long as WSP cooperates and lets me alone. Anybody using radios? Otherwise Ill meet ontop of Palmer on the hour. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopetool Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Today was misty with low visability. Palmer was on stand by. Sat. and Sun. will make up for today. Its shaping up nicely already. I'll have my 2-way on 13/20. And I'll try to be up at the top of Palmer at 9, 10 & 11. It could be exploring the snowfields time after noon. I mean high noon. opps, too much flame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinecure Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Today sucked. Rainy and cold. The snowperformance team folks have their radios tuned to 9/15. We'll be up on Palmer tomorrow. Should be fun. After riding cocktails at the condo at Collins Lake Resort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P06781 Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Looks a little foggy yet today. I will check tomorrow if the conditions are better to ride. I will be in Welchs at the "cabin" if anyone wants to go for drinks or food tonight . 5039977863 Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
