A Great Day at Red Mountain.

Submitted by Deek on Thu, 02/16/2012 - 16:37

I just spent a day at Red Mountain Resort and I have to say What A Treat!!! This place really blew my expectations away. I always thought that Red was a cool locals hill, small with some steeper stuff, but this place is anything but small. They have a 360 degree ski mountain with long beautiful groomers and long steep sustained pitches both open and through the trees. I talked with some locals and they said that the snow often stays good for a week after a storm and our day was proof of that. On a powder day.....WOW this place would be amazing!!! The area is "Steeped in History" as the host of many historic Canadian and world competitions and as an area that was owned by the community and volunteer run until the 80's. While the new development provides some beautiful accommodations I found my perfect spot at Rafters, the pub at the top of the lodge. Definitely put it on your list for a family vacation or Deek letting the boards run. maybe we should arrange a Next Adventure get away for the Portland crew??

Cheers and Happy Skiing

Mt. Hood Snowshoe & XC Ski

Submitted by greg on Sat, 01/28/2012 - 14:09

Tree branches bowed to a white frosting of new-fallen snow. The broad white meadows glittered under a bright sun in a clear-blue sky.
It had started out another gray, foggy day down in the Willamette valley, but NW Discoveries had transported a small group to Trillium Lake Sno-Park on Mt. Hood National Forest.

Snowboarding Mt. Hood's Old Chute Dec. 22nd 2011

Submitted by Chris on Thu, 12/29/2011 - 15:18

In order to snowboard off Mt. Hood's summit, everything has to go right.

In order to snowboard off the summit of Mt. Hood, everything has to go right. December 22nd 2011 was one of those days.
Oregon had been in a month long dry spell and the snow at the resorts was hurting. Texts were coming to my phone reading "glare ice" and "worst skiing ever" from co-workers who were already up skiing at Mt. Hood Meadows on the 21st. The goal was the summit though, not the ride down, so we summoned the motivation to awake at midnight and head to Timberline Lodge...
