It never fails. During the month of April, Oregon will give us
one weekend of bright, cloudless, 70-degree sun. Of-course it only lasts one weekend and then it starts raining again, but what can you do right? Well, go skiing is what you can do.
The view from the Magic Mile lift at Timberline ski area. See that second lift high on the mountain? The top maxs out at about 8,470 ft. (This lift is even open for skiing in the summer.) From there, you can ski down the Palmer glacier all the way to the bottom of the ski area, at 4,850 ft. We figured that we skied roughly 18,000 vertical feet yesterday.
Julia and me at the top of the Palmer Lift. You can see half of Oregon behind us. In this picture, I only have three layers on, half my usual set-up. I absolutely love spring skiing.
The Lodges, Geoff and Julia, and us on the lift. We all make pretty good ski buddies. Julia and I like to take our time, make some turns, stop and take some pictures. The boys? Well, the boys have a need for speed. Meet you at the bottom boys!
