SNOW REPORT
Sunny &
warm weather
showed it's face
in the Pacific
Northwest for 2
days in a row
this past
weekend before
another series
of storms
reminded us that
winter isn't
over just quite
yet.
Timberline's total
snowfall to date
is 741
inches, recorded
since September
1, 2007, with a
current base
depth of 221
inches
(elevation
6200') with much
more up on the
Palmer Snowfield
where we ski all
summer.
SPRING CAMPS
Spring camps
are wrapping up
this week with a
small group of
adult skiers.
The powder
skiing
conditions have
been amazing.
Below are a
couple of photos
from Spring Camp
session 3. The
first photo was
taken at the
bottom of
Heather Canyon
at Mt Hood
Meadows. The
2nd photo was at
the bottom of
our tubing hill
above our summer
soccer field
under the zip
line.
SNOWBOARD
NATIONALS
Three of our
Snowboard
freeride coaches
had outstanding
results at this
years' USASA
Nationals, held
at Copper
Mountain earlier
this month.
Head
Snowboard Coach,
Mark Stegall,
took home the
slopestyle and
overall title in
his division,
which made him a
5-time
consecutive
champion!
Coach/video-man,
Ryan Anderson,
won the open
men's slopestyle
event as well as
the freestyle
combined.
Finishing 2nd in
the men's
open freestyle
event was coach
Rick Millett.
SUMMER 2008
The camp
office phone has
been ringing off
the hook the
last couple of
weeks with
people calling
about making ski
and snowboard
training @ Mt
Hood part of
their summer
plans.
Sessions 5, 6,
and 7
are filling up
fast. With
the near-record
snowpack, even
our August
campers should
expect an
abundance of
snow, even more
than last
summer.
Slovenija world
cup racer,
Andrej Jerman,
returns to coach
for us this
summer for
sessions 3, 4, &
5 after another
successful
season on the
circuit. Andrej
finished 16th in
the world in the
overall world
cup standings,
7th in
the Downhill
standings.
As of today, we
have openings
for
"camper-staff"
in sessions 4
thru 7, as well
as sessions 10
thru 13. If you
are a former
camper, ages
16-17, you can
apply for the
available camper-staff
positions.
