For the past several days I've been up in the Mt. Hood area attending some design meetings for Columbia Sportswear. I know people have been whining about how bad the conditions around here are, but they are far worse up there. Not only has it been sunny and hot there, but their last storm cycle ended with rain providing some of the worst sliding I've had the pleasure of doing all year. I got back last night and was excited to find that the conditions here are still about 100 times better than there.

My girlfriend and I headed out into some of Alpine's lift served backcountry and found some really smooth corn. We finished the day with chalky laps in the north faces and some no pole skiing for fun. Thank goodness I'm not skiing at Hood again.


Here's a shot of Lynn Kennen getting the goods in Alpine's sidecountry.
