Endless Snow-Summer
While most people around the country are pulling out their bicycles from storage, setting up the barbeque in the backyard, or planning their Memorial Day weekend camping trip, a good number of Oregonians (like myself) are heading up to the mountain for more epic snowboarding or skiing! Why fight the chilly, sand blasting winds on the coast, when you can get that coveted "racoon" tan after one day of skiing under the bright mountain sun?
Mt. Hood Meadows will be open the entire Memorial Day weekend with all major lifts running! They plan on closing the June 2-3 weekend. Timberline is open almost 12 months a year and will close Sept 4 for their annual 2-3 week maintenance period and then they reopen for the new season. Mt. Bachelor will be open the Memorial Day weekend and will then close for the season.

I really like this picture…so cool. I haven’t been up in a while. =( I’ll be in George, WA, for the Sasquatch Music Festival for the weekend. I hope it doesn’t rain! Last year it was burning hot. I plan on bringing some clubs and hitting some golf balls into the giant coulees along the Columbia River…practice my drives. hehe. Let me know how the mountain is!
Thanks Jennifer! I always thought it would be fun to hit drives off the back of an ocean liner…. I guess I can always save that for when I retire!
Cool man! Have fun! By the way, that picture looks much clearer and sharper on its flickr page.
@sam: I agree…clearer on Flickr. Crazy.
@russ: I plan on taking a few pictures of my swing as I “drive into the coulee”. It’s a crazyass drop from the ledge and if the sun is right, the pictures will be great!
@sam & @jennifer – Damn you guys are such the perfectionists! But I must admit that you both are right, the image is clearer on Flickr because I was using a different image source for my blog. So, I fixed it and now it uses the static Flickr image… notice a difference? After all the work I went through, you better say Y E S ! ! !
Yup! It is much better now!
