Good morning everyone!

Up on Mt. Hood this morning, there are partly cloudy skies everywhere and no precipitation anywhere. At T-Line, it’s 42 degrees, at Meadows it’s 38, and at Skibowl it’s 47. Nobody has any new snow this morning, and everyone’s expecting partly cloudy skies today. At Meadows, there’s a rail jam in the Shipyard park to benefit SOS Outreach, a cool charity that gets kids involved in the outdoors. Over at skibowl, it’s the next to last day… Tomorrow is ski free day, a great chance to check out a different resort for free!

If you’re a mountain biker, today is your chance to give back by helping out at Charley Laventure trail day. Charley was a good man, and he would be stoked if you were out working on his trail. So, spare a few hours this morning, and go work on the trail… as added incentive, you might go home with some cool swag from Da Kine.

Commuters have the supercommuter bike race today – meet at 10am at the Saturday Market parking lot to register, and don’t forget to wear a costume.

In the wind world, we’ll see corridor westerlies in the 15-19 range this afternoon as a front crosses the Cascades. Tomorrow looks like, but as consolation, you can visit the Windance all-sports swap meet in the morning and talk about windsurfing and kiteboarding.

That’s it for today for more information about the events, check out the calendar at TheGorgeismyGym.com (shameless self-promotion).

Have a great day today!

Good morning!

This morning on Mt Hood, it’s clear skies everywhere. At Timberline, it’s 42 degrees, with no new snow and a 160” base. At Meadows, it’s 38 degrees, with no new and a 130” base. It is 36 degrees at Skibowl, with a 62” base, and they are open from 9am to 10pm today. Don’t forget that Sunday is ski free customer appreciation day at Skibowl! That’s always a fun day… it’s not super crowded, and you can use Skibowl’s lifts to access the backcountry skiing off Tom, Dick and Harry peaks. Plus, they have the best nachos in the world (you knew that was coming, didn’t you?) Super fun stuff. Make sure you ski with a partner if the lift-serve BC is your plan. Best chance for new snow is Monday… cross your fingers…

In mountain bike land, yesterday’s Post and Pint was called off due to muddy conditions in Post, so let Post dry out for a couple of days or Ranger Jimmy T will have your head. Coming up this weekend in bike world, it’s Charley LaVenture trail day in Post and the supercommuter bike race in Hood River on Saturday, and on Sunday, get your road bike out for the Cherry of a Ride road ride in the Dalles to benefit St. Mary’s Academy. There are routes from 30 to 100 miles (strangely enough, I was asked to promote this as a fun, recreational, family ride…) through the orchards in The Dalles.

Best chance for wind in the next couple of days is this afternoon after a shortwave crosses the Gorge. We’ll see gusty 17-20 in the corridor in the late afternoon for a couple of hours, and then the wind will shift out to Arlington late in the evening. As of now, the weekend looks light. Don’t forget the all-sports swap meet at Windance on Sunday.

That’s it for today for more information about the events, check out the calendar at TheGorgeismyGym.com (shameless self-promotion).

Have a great day today!
