Im making a trip up there soon this early summer. So stoked I can hardly wait! Did you hit any of the parks at Timberline?

Yes we hit the park a couple of times, they have great parks right of the stormin norman lift. Unfortunately I landed a couple times on my neck and now I am paying the price. I am so fucking sore, my whole body hurts, but it's cool you have to feel the pain to play the game. They were also building the park up in palmer for the summer.

Today we are meeting again with Snowolf and Fainerbainer. The temperatures are lower than yesterday so hopefully it froze and conditions should be better than yesterday. They will have the same lifts running it should be fun because we could him some more back country (out of bounds really), although I wish they gave palmer a chance to run, but it doesn't look like it.

The conditions up in hood can change so fast, I have never seen anything like that in my life. One second you see the peak and the next everything is covered with clouds everywhere and visibility drops down to nothing. I am going to have a fun time explaining to my boss the raccoon eyes I got from the sun (I told him that I had school this week and thats why couldn't make it to work, it's not like he needed me anyway), the funny thing is that the sun came out about 30% of the time and I got a really bad sun tan.




In that picture you can see the terrain park they are building for the summer.

Conditions today were excellent, nothing like yesterdays glue. At the beginning it was icy but after a few hours it softened up and turned into some great spring corn. The park had great conditions, we spend most of the time there.

We met with Fainerbainer and his friend, cool guys, we had a good time group riding. It's incredible how conditions change in hood, at the lower half visibility was bad and it was raining. In the middle there was a little snowfall with some clouds and at the top the sun was as bright as it could be, as a result we got a really bad sun burn in the face. But over all it was a good day, the bad part was that they had Magic mile and palmer closed due to the conditions.


Thats a nice picture of the lodge.


The sun at the top of the lift was freaking intense.


Looking down at the cloud cover


That was at the bottom of Jeff lift


Just about to break the cloud cover and get to the sunny side.

It was a lot of fun today. I never really did tree runs until today and I hate them. You should have seen Scott take a hard fall on the last run. It was just on a little small jump (maybe a foot in the air) lol. Made me feel better after he kept leaving me behind in the trees.

Oh and on one of the last runs I fell (in the trees) and I fell right beside two guys off the trail smoking weed. Pretty funny and thanks for a fun day. Riding in a bigger group with people equivalent or better really does help you do better.

Your so lucky! I was planing on going up there this summer, But I don't have enough money to go up. But I'm for sure going next summer! I still wish I was there. It looks beautiful!

What kinda stuff did you hit in the parks? Did you hit any of teh larger or medium feature parks? How are they compared to other parks youve hit before?

Simply^Ride

^^^^^^^I am not a pro in the park, but we did hit a park with large features. They do have some hard core features in the large section of the terrain park. The park is sort of divided into 3 parts, beginners, another one for intermediates and the large one with some nice rails a big half pipe and the larger jumps.

They were also building another large park up in mile with what look like very large ramps and another half pipe. Snowolf told me that in the summer they have a great terrain park.

I will post some pitures of the new terrain park later on.
