P06781 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Looks nice Bryan! I will post up when I go sunday with my daughter. I hope you got the deposit at the Credit union. Looking forward to riding with you soon. Might go again on monday if it looks good. Take care of yourself and dont end up where I work. Both my kids had h1n1 with super high fevers but recovered easily. I got the vaccine early and it worked so far! However Emanuel has had the most patients in the usa on ecmo support for bad h1n1 . (artificial lung) Its been pretty crazy here and i am working some OT again tonight. JIm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Anyone interested in meeting an out-of-town carver for supper? I'm going to be in town this coming week. How about Monday (Nov 16th) at 7 PM-ish? I'm going to be over near the Portland/Troutdale airport a little before that, so I could meet people anywhere between there and my hotel in Beaverton. I don't know the area at all so I'm open to suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Surface Conditions: Mogul fields, groomers and a mixed bag off the groom. Early season conditions exist, so expect unmarked obstacles Sounds like a wet one today. YUK!!! "Rain Top To Bottom" === Bummer. Good news? Parking lot was only half full!! According to Jim. Hope it dries out Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Looking for a reason to put a "Gathering" together Bryan I opted out of the Meadows pass this year (will probably go for a spring pass), so photos of people having fun in the snow are kind of painful to look at. But it would be great to get together anyway, so I can hear all about how much fun other people are having. (And maybe get some tips on earning your turns, Mt. Bailey and other things to do when you don't have a pass.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can offer some routes, equipment, dos and don't of getting the goods on Mt Hood, I would be happy to share with you what I have learned. Perhaps make it a point to chat with Jim and myself about some options? See you tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Really nice day! Even saw the top of the mountain once and a while!! Vista and HRM opened. Some nice pow and decent grooming made for a good combo. At least three hardbooters today Dan, Jim and Bryan (me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Got up extra early to make sure I was on the first chair for the "Big Dump" of 24" , it was closed yesterday due to high winds. Broke out the new SilverTanker 200cm . It was a good day, however, the new snow was very wind effected. After a half dozen runs , we switched out to alpine boards. The Tankers rode well, although not really the proper conditions. AGAIN!! Spotted a total of 5 hardbooters. Groomers should be really good over the next couple days.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 It may have been cloudy in Portland all day, but it was brilliant blue sky at Mt Hood. Wind kept most of the high speed lifts at 1/2 speed. Surface as variable. Night skiing areas were tilled soft on hard. The best runs were Shooting Star Ridge and some of the runs off Vista. It was definitely hard and fast!! I rode couple different boards and switched to skis when it started getting rough. Fun day with only 1/2 a parking lot full on existing.

lex Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 i made it there at 8am (roads were as clear as i have ever seen them) and got first chair on shooting star. it was beautiful up there with groom and an amazing sun/clouds/colours all throughout the day. in the morning the trails were fairly stiff, a little to stiff for the years absence. i had forgotten how to really control my board and my heelsides were ****e, this was paired with being timid about how stiff the snow was. to top it off my boot strap broke and i had to hobble down the mountain to the pro shop. we got the strap taken care of and i talked with rob (who knew a thing or two about alpine). got back up to shooting star and switched up between the ridge and voyager, carving came back to me and i was ripping turns. spent a while on SS then headed over to vista/daisy and cascade express, never found a good run on them so i went back to SS. i think there were only 5 rows of cars there, no waits for lifts, and you had runs all to yourself. despite the so so morning, i had a great afternoon and got a lot of runs in by not having to wait. my legs gave out abut 2:30 and my feet were not too happy so i headed home. i definitely have some boot issue especially my back (left) foot. in order to have control i cranked my boots tight and i am paying for it now... the side of my foot is quite swollen and its a bitch to walk. i pushed myself fairly hard especially considering i have been getting about 4 hours of sleep a night for a few weeks now (my architectural final was yesterday) and while i should have slept, i could not pass up the conditions... i think the trail of the day was def voyager, i could carve up the one stretch and the rest was an easy ride down. while i like the size and length of the ridge way more, the turn to the steep section under the lift is just too steep and tiring for me...

P06781 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi Jim, I will probably work on the house Monday and ride Tuesday? Let them groom it in a bit? Hey didnt go today but will plan on wednesday if you can make it? Looked at my Volkl 183 and noticed some issues around the front binding. I need to show it to you next time for a diagnosis? Might be needing a new go-to big carving board ? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see something then email me ? Would like a 180ish 18-19 waist with 12-13m radi board ? Maybe a roundtail or open for ideas?

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Today was without a doubt the best carving so far this year. The 7" of new MHM got a few days ago really freshened up the groomers. With cold temps it is still dry and carvy. Thursday should be the same. Today it had warmed up to maybe 8 degrees? Light winds, brilliant sun and overall great groomers. Got 3 first chairs and a 1st and 2nd chair on Vista!! That is how slow it was. When I left at 1PM there wasn't even 4 full rows of cars!! Oddly , SS Ridge was not the best run today. North Canyon and Daisy where both excellent. Most of the runs off Vista were really good. Runs off Cascade showed promise, however still suffer from both snow depth and routing issues. (like a big rock in the middle of lower gulch) Dan L was the only other alpine snowboarder I saw. More days like this please!! Sunny, great groomers, vacant, good board and a friend to ride with!. Unfortunate news: For those of you that know long time local rider Randy K. Please wish Randy speedy recovery from his recent broken leg. Just above the ankle. He recently had surgery to plate it. I know he is very dissapointed about loosing much of his season.

Galen Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Bryan, is that an unusually short board for you, or is it just the angle your holding it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Bryan, is that an unusually short board for you, or is it just the angle your holding it? It is a 184cm. I have just gotten allot taller Dude, where you been? Been good this week. (once we got passed the 60 mph winds at 17F and power failures.)
