Ski trip to Mission Ridge

By Doug H on February 3, 2010 10:49 PM 0

Hey fellow Bushwhackers! Join other Bushwhackers for a weekend downhill ski/board trip to Mission Ridge near Wenatchee on Feb 27 & 28. Fellow Bushwhackers Randy & Megan Kile have graciously offered us their house & company in Wenatchee! So no hotel fees!

If you've never been to Mission Ridge Ski Area it's a nice, local place that's just a ton of fun with more great skiing terrain than you would think. And if you have been there you know what I mean.

For more info go here: http://www.missionridge.com/index.php

The plan is to leave Seattle either Friday PM or early Saturday AM, ski/board both Sat & Sun, stay the nights at the Kiles house and, well, whatever else we can come up with in Wenatchee. We will return to Seattle Sunday evening. Once we have the list of folks going we can discuss the driving details.

There's room for 10 skiers/boarders so sign up soon! Just go to https://www.123signup.com/register?id=mfbkf

Yehaw!

PS. This offer is only open to current BWCC members... but you can join too!

Telemark Clinic Success

Thanks to everyone who helped me make the 2010 BWCC Telemark Clinic a huge success!

This year we had five determined and stoic students who not only braved the elements of ice and snow storms, but also learned to link free heel turns with grace! Everyone's progress in the sport was amazing and Shauna and I had great time teaching. Thanks Andy, Kathy, Judd, Rebecca, and Kate! See all you Bushwhackers on the slopes!

Half Done with the Telemark Class

Philip S had five of us Bushwhackers doing the Tele Tango with him yesterday over at Summit West at Snoqualmie. We had a new member, a few regulars, and some old friends who are looking to get back into the mountains with us try their hand at freeing their heels. It was awesome seeing the improvement in everyone. Thanks to Shauna M and Philip for taking time to show us how to look good out there. Looking forward to next Sunday!

UPDATE: The class finished successfully with some nice snow coming down the entire afternoon. It was a great class.

Ski Tune Party II

By Andy on December 9, 2009 10:58 PM 1

Hi all. Last year Randy B hosted a fun get together to tune/wax skis and watch ski movies to get amped up for the winter. Steve M would like to do it again this year at his house. It's pretty icy up in the Cascades right now so we could use some sharp edges! Please join us again this year for tuning your skis/snowboard; we'll order pizza and watch ski movies on Wednesday, 12/16. We'll have some wax, irons, clamps, etc. available but could use some more if you have it.

Bring: yourself, your skis, any waxing/tuning gear you have, a ski or snowboard movie, beer, and an empty stomach (we'll share expenses for pizza).

UPDATE: I asked Steve how it went. He said "It was great. We had about 8 or so...lots of waxing and tuning going on. Got some pizza and watched some ski movies. I'd host again next year!"
