It's been a while since I've posted so I figured it was time for an update. Since opening day at Mt Hood Meadows I've made a goal to accomplish 50 trips to the mountain this year. Since then I've been up a total 12 times to the mountain. Thanks to excessive amounts of rain and abnormally high tempuratures all the snow that had accumulated early in the season has turned to a solid block of ice. Luckily last saturday the tempurature decided to cooperate, sorta. When we arrived it was about 20 degrees, which means that all that lovely snow that had melted the previous week was now frozen solid. Then we were greeted by the wind. At the top of vista the wind was blowing so strong at times it felt as if you were going backwards. The best part was when you were cruising down the mountain trying to make it over a hill and a gust of wind would just about blow you into the trees. After about 2 hours of being blown around the mountain my group decided to call it a day.
Snowboard Trips To Date: 12
Needless to say, I've got alot of snowboarding to do to make my goal.
