P06781 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Looks like they will get a couple of inches of snow with clearing by the morning . If the mile and palmer open I will be riding. I will carry radio and cell. This should make zigzag super sweet this week . JIm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 http://www.nwac.us/~nwac/products/OSOTML Tuesday might be the day, if the upper mountain is open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P06781 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Yea, tomorrow should be nice Eric. It was snowing hard at the lodge and the mile and palmer were closed so I hiked it up to the mile for some exercise. I rode down on the west side of the mile and it was pretty good pow from the 1/2 way mark. The upper part was windblown in waves. I bet it settled nice and smooth over in the trough of zig-zag. If you head up tomorrow take some pics to show me. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Palmer wasn't running because they were threading the line through the midway station. And the mile was about 50/50 sun/fog. But you gotta love the month of May on Mt Hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Fun today, about 1" of groomed corn, velcro by 11. Palmer was closed, be closed tomorrow too. Finally got on the Virus, dont know why I was so scared of it. More friendly then I thought a 17.1 cm waist would be. Back up tomorrow :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Dont have a radio, I'll give you a call from the lift. Have we met? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Sorry, I spaced your number and left it in the car (in my laptop). Hope you guys had a good time, it was pretty nice today. Saw a lot of HBer's out there, talked to about a half dozen racers while riding the lifts. Guy wth a Kesseler that had a sick tip. Looked like the tail of an all mt carver, wild!

P06781 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Climbed MtHood last friday using approach skiis, crampons, and carried the Tanker. Saw 2 other people on split-boards and really liked the setups. Using skins on approach skiis or a splitboard is so much easier than anything I have used before. I will be seriously looking for a splitboard over the summer . Only if Radair would make a Tanker version. The snow on zigzag glacier was awsome yet because of new stuff from earlier in the week really smoothing things out. I may try again next week on my day off . You really could have snowboarded from the summit pretty easily because it was nice and soft with not one track and every was going around the pearly gates. I chickened out and rode down from the hogsback, oh well next time. Never saw Galen but noticed some carve marks on the mile. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
