heroshmero Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I once went to Timberline in mid-June and got 8" of fresh. I couldn't have picked a better day to fall 30 feet off the lift. You fell off the lift? How did that happen? Was it windy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 The bottom of the seat tips forward so they can dump the snow off of it, there is a little safety latch that is supposed to be clipped to the back of the seat. I decided to clip my back foot in with my right hand while holding onto the back of the seat with my left. This particular chair never had the safety latch clipped on, so when I snapped my boot in the seat lifted up and dumped me out. Luckily I landed face down like a gingerbread man so the impact was spread out over my entire body. It really freaked the lifties out, they made me sign a bunch of waivers. I kept riding but could barely move the next day. I'm a fan of chairs with safety bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhD Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 The bottom of the seat tips forward so they can dump the snow off of it, there is a little safety latch that is supposed to be clipped to the back of the seat. .... That's bizarre! I don't remember ever noticing a chair that tips forward - all the ones I've noticed are hinged at the back. Apparently for a good reason! THose hinged at the back can be slammed against the seatback to bust off the crusted ice, if the liftie is reasonably quick or has a helper for the first few laps in the morning. If the liftie doesn't deal with it, the riders can give it a slam while disembarking at the top. I like to flip up the seat at the top on the last ride so the liftie doing it can catch a little break. They always seem to appreciate it. Bryan - Sorry I didn't make it down last weekend. We had a couple of trees damaged in a windstorm last week and the garage door spring broke the same day, so I had extra chores to deal with. 'Fraid I'm done for the season. See you next year, I hope.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 The snow report sounded a bit iffy. Sprinkles and cloudy all the way up, nearly to the parking lot. Then clear blue sky!! Very light turnout too!! Couple inches of new. Palmer opened. Nice day!! Randy K was the only other alpine rider I saw , although I did see a guy with a Kessler BX board and his friend could really carve their softies.

He plans to ride Wed also. He is getting back into carving after being away for some time. Have fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Wil do. After 10 weeks off, I feel like im just getting back into riding.:o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 After 10 weeks I feel like im just getting back into riding.:o You will have to tell me about what all happened some time. Rob used to race, like 10 years ago. I had hoped he would make it up today, but didn't. I made plans for Wednesday so I can go. I have a video from today I can post in a few minutes. Randy King was nice enough to operate the camera , so I have some segments of me actually riding Still allot of chair lift footage, hoping it will be of interest to someone. Perhaps those that have not been up to Timberline's Palmer or maybe some of my old friends like Ed that would like a little reminder. <object width="660" height="405"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfv9cOtapaQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfv9cOtapaQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="660" height="405"></embed></object> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Sunny and soft, good day for back seat driving. the mile was too sticky by noon. Young dude got arrested and cuffed at the base of Normans by an armed sheriff:eek: Lifty said he had been poaching and causing problems all season. didn't see any other HBer's.

Might head up to TLine one day over the weekend of May 22-23 if the weather holds. Then again might way till they start opening earlier, so it's firmer longer.

Galen Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 another great day, got softer a little sooner though. Palmer and the mile got soft early, but still very ridable until around 11. they had the left side of the mile groomed all the way to the western boundry. Sweet. If the weather continues to warm up, waiting for the early opens would be a good idea. Traffic has been light until about 10:30 when the parkies start to show up, but the are mainly down on Normans.

He is an old friend of Mike's and had that full TNT system board built a year or so ago. Super nice guy, sorry you did not get a chance to meet him. Glad you and your's had a good time at Tline.

MHM closed for the season Sunday. It will start to pick up at the end of the month. Then in June it will go crazy busy as the camps get fired up. Great meeting and riding with you couple weeks ago!!
