Cartier is a well-known and experienced climber in the climbing community, according to a KGW source. He has worked at Columbia Sportswear and Nike.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 There is always allot of attention paid to Timberline in the summer, more so than the winter even. I am often found touting how great the late spring early summer session is. Folks wonder why my enthusiasm falls off during the summer / late summer session. Found a good example of August at Timberline. Not my video but pretty good footage of the late season. Compare this to the spring videos for the "Why".

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Yes, that is a really professional video /show. Can you give us some updates on conditions? Should still be pretty deep? Thanks, Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Bryan, it was almost as good as last season for snow. mile was still open last week. could ride right to parking lot. Its summer, so there is that narrow window each day where the snow is just right for carving. Thanks for the props for the show. We arent going to do it this season, rather we will do short <3 min magazine style updates through the year, seems to keep people watching more. - Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thanks for the update Mark. They lost like 8 inches of base in one day!! The weekend was pretty warm. Sounds like your training hit just right!!! Thanks again, Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
