Mt Hood Summer Ski Camps May 20, 2010 Newsletter 

PRE-CAMP UPDATE

Timberline Lodge is reporting a 144 inch base today, and that is measured at the 6,200 foot level.  The top of the Palmer chairlift is 8,200 feet.  We are looking good for all our sessions in June, July and August. 

Here's what some of our coaches have been up to this spring as they prepare for another summer of ski & snowboard camp:

Mike Syrovatka:
I am up in Vancouver BC hanging out. Yesterday i picked up my son Mark at SEATAC as he was stranded in NOrWAY and Iceland for four days dodging the volcano ash cloud. Mark was racing the final races of the 2010 season in NOrWAY trying to improve his world ranking. We will head back to Jackson and do some painting and sprucing up at the Jackson Hole Ski Club, before heading up to Lodges at Salmon river soon to get ready for session 1.
Jason Hey:
After the season ended in park city I headed for Europe to travel and unwind. I have been traveling for 3 weeks now and have two left before I make a trek to hood for the ENTIRE summer again, woohoo!
Craig Bowden:
I'm mountain biking, rock climbing, and still skiing!  Snowbird had some big powder fall this April.  Some of the best skiing of the year.
Darren Owen:
I have skied well over 100 days thru yesterday and today 20" dumps, still skiing pow then 3 weeks surfing in Cali before camp. 
Jon Winslow:
I'm finishing up a regional fire academy, and I got hired on as a Resident Fire Fighter EMT with the Foresthill Fire Department. I have been going through lots and lots of training.
Kevin Malone:
I have been going through intense physical preperation for the summer. We've been summiting all of the largest peaks in the eastern Sierra, overnighting in the back country in sub zero temps, as well as skiing rapel-in rapel-out lines on a daily basis. Other than that were just hyped to ski with the kids all summer.

Snowboard coaches Mark Stegall and Rick Millett have been busy upgrading the mini skate ramp and prepping the rails, as you can see in these photos.
