There’s delicious food at Cebu and Riverside. This is truly one of my favorite places to both eat and to hang out. The food was lovely last year, but now there’s a new menu. Yummy spinach salad. And pork ribs over polenta. And of course, there’s always the best happy hour in the Gorge, 4-6pm, Monday-Friday with the awesomest burger around. And $12 Prime Rib on Tuesday. Print or show this ad on your phone for buy one, get one half off at Riverside, Sunday-Thursday, through February 28, 2014.
Random Morning Thoughts
I’m really tired this morning, but I’m really glad I’m up here on the mountain. Looking forward to some turns on light, fluffy snow. And on packed powder groom.

Sunday looks clear and cold with the FAF at the surface early, rising to somewhere under 1000′ in the afternoon. Wind will be light and variable. There may be a few flurries overnight Sunday as a weak system brushes the PNW, but there won’t be any significant accumulation.

There’s nothing going on tonight that I know of, but there’s the Cold Lap cyclocross ride at Dirty Fingers at 3pm on Saturday. On Sunday, there’s supposed to be ping pong at 3pm at the Armory ($5) and Pickup Rugby in Mosier (free), but there’s this thing called the Superbowl, featuring a team called the Seattle Seahawks, at 3:30. Watch it with BBQ at Dirty Fingers.
