queequeg Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Sorry Guys, I watched this thread for a few days and thought I had no interest and then forgot to keep checking it. Yes - April, I'm flying in this Tuesday night. Bryan - I lived in Portland for four years so I am (somewhat, though not terribly) familiar with Mount Hood. Jim - our plans are tentative, if the magic mile and palmer aren't open, we will probably skip tline and go to meadows instead. I've never actually ridden the lower through-the-woods parts of tline, but as I understand it, they're not very exciting. Will email cell #s.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Cool ! Got the email. Talk to you soon. Bryan Definitely keep the Ride board posted, we have a dozen riders in the Portland area. Welcome back!! Snow pack is MEGA DEEP!! FYI . Timberline has a 99$ spring pass I think? Good local links.

queequeg Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hey Thanks Bryan. Yeah - I hear the snowpack is nuts on Mt.Hood. My college girlfriend and her husband got snowed into their cabin a little while ago for three days or something! Hey, I (may) need some minor bootfitting help and I'm hoping to get it done quick on the way to the mountain in Sandy on maybe wedsnesday morning. Any suggestions? I don't think its a major operation, The heel area in my liner has packed out paper thin and I have a bony heel in the first place. I don't want to re-mold the liners, so I just want to put some foam behind them in the boot. Any place I can get that done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 The closest place to the mountain where you *might* be able to get some bootfitting done is Hillcrest in Gresham. It's right on your way out of town. Don't go to anyplace in Sandy. Unless it's new within the past 3 years.... I lived there and none of the ski shops in town that were left when I moved away three years ago were any good. Your best bet might be right at MHM.

cassandtim Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 If you're going to be in Portland at all The Mountain Shop at 628 NE Broadway has a great bootfitting dept. with super-friendly, knowledgable staff. Their phone number is: (503) 288-6768. I and many skier friends have had great experiences with their work. Cheers, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our plan is to stay at the airport and then drive to the mountain straight from there so for now, there are no plans to go into portland. May head into town on friday and I could conceivably get it done then. Sounds like MHM might be my best option from what Mike T is saying. Thanks all!

I'd second the recommendations for both Hillcrest ski and Sports on your way to Hood and the Mountain Shop in town. I got my boots molded at the Mountain Shop, and they did a great job. Meanwhile, Hillcrest does the factory tunes for Tinkler boards, which is a pretty good endorsement of their skills. Hillcrest opens at 7 a.m. so you might be able to get to them on your way up the hill. If not, give them a shot on the way down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prolly end up going to the mountain shop since' its downtown and hey, isn't it right next door to that ancient divey strip bar ... Marys Spot? I've got a temporary fix in, as I managed to get some bootfitters foam today in order to fill in the gaps and such around the hot point. Think I should be ok like that for a few days until friday when I can head into town and get it professionally dealt with. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P06781 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Here the report for today.... Its was super windy at MHM with 55mph gusts and it was cold. Nice 8" of new powder fell but was pushed around in the wind over bullet ice . It was really warm a few days ago and everything melted and now is refrozen quite hard. There were some good stashes of pow on the right aspects enhanced by the wind but you could feel the hard stuff below. Rode Hood river express today mostly to stay out of the wind! Tomorrow will be much better and I forgot I traded a shift with a friend and will ride MHM in the am . 4" new today will more on the way and sun in the am . If they open cascade it will be sweet. I will give you a call in the am on the way... Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queequeg Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Thanks for the ride report man! Ok ... I'm going to try and sway the group towards meadows tomorrow. My cell is 917,776.8286. We will probably show up late as we have some preparatory errands to take care of beforehand, I'm guessing around 11am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queequeg Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Nice riding with you Jim. The rest of the trip was totally great, with the exception of friday which was pretty brutal. Bryan - I got your message re: beers and waxing. Thanks for the invite - I was staying out at cooper spur so I couldn't make it in (and my phone died halfway through the trip). Otherwise I would have tried to make it out for some hardbooter brotherhood. cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Thanks for the update! I was wondering how your days on the mountain went. Glad you had a good time overall. Yes, I hear it was storming!! Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoy having more space to do this type of impromptu get together. Look forward to more in the future. Nothing like talking "Snowboarding" with good beer, good friends and surrounded by oldsnowboards!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svr Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Bryan, did you get the other boards I sent you (bepop, wild duck, erbacher, etc)? Hope your recovery is going well. I am still out for another month at minimum as my ankle/fibia is still not healed. cheers, sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were on display for the guys. The Moss definitely gets allot of attention. Thanks. Nice adds to the Japanese division of the collection. I am afraid I am still on crutches. Slow going but at least I can start to load it. Man I hate crutches!! Heal fast my friend. I now have a place for you to stay, although it is still pretty primative.
