CARR SUBARU (and Chevrolet & Suzuki) BENEFIT:
- by Emilio Trampuz -

Let me tell you how you can get a good deal on an excellent car built for the snow. For me, that's a Subaru, but you can also get a Chevy or a Suzuki.  For my brand new 2005 Subaru Outback, I paid about $1000 less than the sticker price, and probably at least $500 better than I could find anywhere else.  Thanks to a deal arranged by NWSCC, all club members have access to SPECIAL FLEET PRICING on Subaru, Chevrolet, or Suzuki vehicles at Carr Auto Group!  Prices range from a few hundred dollars over factory invoice for next year's models to possibly thousands UNDER factory invoice for this year's or prior year's models. Fleet pricing will also be available on used cars.  Not only will your NWSCC membership card get you these special prices, but you can also skip all the hassles of buying a car! Click on the link on the NWSCC website, www.nwskiers.org , and go to the Carr fleet website www.carrautofleet.com , where you will access a drop-down menu to select "NorthWest Ski Club Council" pricing. The login is "skiclub" and the password is "downhill." Select the car you want, and you'll get a price quote, with no obligations. You will deal directly with Nanda Kishore, a very nice gentleman, who has been to our Council meetings and knows some of us in person.  You are purchasing over the internet! For any of our members living outside of Portland, your desired vehicle can be delivered to a dealer near your home! In such case you won't be able to utilize a trade in, because Carr will not be able to evaluate your car. You may be asked to show your NWSCC card as proof of membership.

In my case, I had done a lot of research, so I knew the features I wanted and the price I could expect. The price Kishore quoted me was excellent. I emailed him back that I accept, and we then met for a quick signing of all the needed documents, and I drove out of there an hour later in my new Outback!  No pressure, easy, painless, and a good price to boot! I would recommend it to everyone,

 

Happy Holidays from NWSCC!!

High Cascade Snowboard Camp Presents Freestyle Camps at Meadows this Winter
4-Time sessions offered Saturdays and Sundays from January through April.  Holiday camps presented at Christmas and Spring Break.    MT. HOOD, OR – High Cascade Snowboard Camp (HCSC) will present freestyle snowboard camps at Mt. Hood Meadows this season. HCSC has earned an international reputation for high quality camps on Mt. Hood, primarily in the summer. The winter camps are designed for intermediate and expert snowboarders age 12 and older who want to improve their freestyle and big mountain riding technique.  Mt. Hood Meadows Vice President Dave Riley expects great things from the partnership. “High Cascade provides exceptional coaching and on-snow experiences for teenage snowboarders. We are excited about this unique partnership which will unite the experience and expertise of HCSC coaches and proven program with the terrain and freestyle offerings at Mt. Hood Meadows.”  “Campers are placed in groups with others of similar ability and a coach takes them out riding. Getting as much on-snow time as possible and logging miles really helps the coach to pass on tips to the riders.   Camps have two different formats – Four consecutive Saturdays or Sundays each month from January through April; and consecutive day holiday camps will be presented during Christmas and Spring Break.  Information on the HCSC Snowboard Camps at Mt. Hood Meadows can be found on-line at www.skihood.com  or www.highcascade.com
 
 

Facility Enhancements at Pacific Northwest Ski Areas:

Pacific Northwest Ski Areas Association (PNSAA) PRESS RELEASE     Scott Kaden, PNSAA, (541) 386-9600,  Release Date: December 1, 2004

Hood River, OR  –  As the population of the Pacific Northwest region grows, ski area operators add capacity to the various components of their ski areas to keep up with the growing demand for snow sports.  “The majority of guest ‘first impressions’ occur during winter holiday periods and on busy weekend days in January and February.  Every ski area operator in the region is committed to making the necessary investments to ensure a high quality recreational experience on each and every day of the ski season,” remarked Scott Kaden, president of the Pacific Northwest Ski Areas Association.  During the summer and fall months of 2004, the region’s ski area operators completed noteworthy facility enhancements.  The larger projects are noted below:

 

Crystal Mountain, WA:  Constructed Campbell Basin Lodge – a 12,500-square feet, situated near the top terminal of the Forest Queen Express Chairlift. 

 

49° North, WA:  Chair 2 was upgraded and extended to an elevation just above Midway.  Developed nine ski trails in its East Basin expansion area.

Mission Ridge:  Expanded the square footage of its SnowSports Center by 30 percent and added and improved trails at the top of Chair 3.

Mt. Baker, WA:  Chair 6 was converted from a fixed-grip double chair to a fixed-grip quad chair.

Mt. Spokane, WA:  Ski & Snowboard Park expanded and relocated its terrain park to the Half Hitch and Lamonga Pass trails. 

Stevens Pass, WA:   Winter Resort expanded its park and pipe features – three pipe offerings include an in-ground Superpipe and intermediate and beginner half pipes – and re-contoured the lift unload area of the Daisy beginner chairlift. 

The Summit at Snoqualmie, WA:  Installed a moving sidewalk (i.e., conveyor belt) beginner lift at Summit Central and lengthened and realigned Summit West’s existing conveyor belt lift.  Improvements were made to existing day lodges and surroundings, including the construction of additional fire pits in the base area plazas at Summit Central and Summit West.

Cooper Spur Ski Area, OR:  Added a carousel teaching lift to its ski school terrain and a canopy to its base area sundeck.

Hoodoo Mountain Resort, OR:  Added four lanes to its Autobahn Tubing Park and improved key stretches of its Over Easy Trail.

Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort, OR:  Iinstalled the Vista Express high speed quad chairlift, expanded its park offerings with the creation of Vista Park, and launched its new EpiCenter Snow Sports Learning Center, Gear Box retail shop, and Meadows Boutique and Wine Bar business enterprises.

Mt. Hood SkiBowl, OR:  Refurbished its day lodge buildings and developed additional overnight accommodations at nearby affiliate Collins Lake Resort.

 Ski Anthony Lakes, OR:  Enlarged its Nordic skate and classic trail system to 40 kilometers.

Lookout Pass Ski & Recreation Area, ID:  Completed a 6,000-square foot addition to its base lodge, and will operate a new Top of the Mountain Café this winter.

Schweitzer Mountain Resort, ID:  Gladed Little Blue and added three trails to its official mountain map – Grant’s Nosedive, Pucci’s Chute, and Australia.

Silver Mountain, ID:  Morning Star Lodge at Gondola Village is under construction (grand opening expected next spring).  In addition, the resort developed off-piste terrain adjacent to its Terrible Edith trail and constructed a bigger half pipe and terrain park in Chair 2 Bowl.

Big Mountain Resort, MT:  Completed a comprehensive trail-thinning initiative that re-gladed Good Medicine, Larch, Powder Bowl, Toni Matt’s headwall, and Langley.  Village guest service amenities have been improved, including significant enhancements to the Base Camp Kids Center.

For additional information on these and other facility enhancements, contact the PNSAA office at (541) 386-9600.  The Pacific Northwest Ski Areas Association is a non-profit trade association, which represents the interests of ski and snowboard facilities located in Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and Alaska.  The Association’s member ski areas – most of which operate on public land – collectively host an estimated 4.5 million skier visits annually.  For additional information on Pacific Northwest skiing and snowboarding, contact the PNSAA office at (541) 386-9600, or visit www.skiwashington.com, www.oregonski.org, www.idahowinter.org, or www.ski-inlandnorthwest.com to link to the web site of your favorite mountain.

SEASON PASS INSURANCE:
Here is some information about season pass insurance with accident insurance coverage.  I thought some of our members might want to look into this.  Link: www.skierinsurance.com
"Season passes can be a real bargain but, as most are non-refundable/non-transferable, they may be a 'use-it-or-lose-it' proposition. Experienced skiers know that an unplanned occurrence can arise, before or during the ski season. Missing out on skiing is bad enough -- but to lose your investment in a season pass (cross-country or downhill) would be even more disappointing."
"That's where this insurance program comes in. It covers loss of use due to a covered injury or illness.  In addition, other valuable benefits are provided while skiing at the resort which issues your season pass. For example, if you are injured on the slopes and require evacuation -- even by helicopter -- this program covers you up to $15,000. That's important whether you have health insurance or not! In addition, Accidental Death/Dismemberment Insurance up to $10,000 is provided."    Cost of insurance is based on price of the season pass, less that $7 per hundred. Quote is $28 for insurance on a $400 4x4 pass at Mt. Hood Meadows.       Link to press release and related articles:  http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/10/prweb165930.htm

Thanks!!   Happy Thanksgiving!

Pacific Northwest Ski Areas Association (PNSAA) PRESS RELEASE

Strong Numbers for Pacific Northwest Ski Areas

Hood River, OR  –  Washington state ski areas recorded 1.86 million skier visits during the winter of 2003-2004.  Oregon’s ski area operators are projecting visitation of 1.63 million skier visits.  Ski area operators in Alaska and northern Idaho also reported strong business volumes last winter.  Assuming Oregon operators realize their summer attendance forecasts, the Pacific Northwest will enjoy its third best season ever by tallying a combined 4.71 million skier visits in 2003-2004.

 “Considering the health of our regional economy, the operators are pleased with the resiliency our industry demonstrated this year,” commented Scott Kaden, President of the Pacific Northwest Ski Areas Association.  “Last ski season proved once again that the Northwest ski industry is experiencing strong demand, particularly near the large metropolitan areas,” added Dave Riley, Chairman of the Pacific Northwest Ski Areas Association and Vice President and General Manager of Oregon’s Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort and Cooper Spur Mountain Resort.

 Preparing for the Future

As the population of the Pacific Northwest grows, not surprisingly, so does the region’s interest in snow sports.  In addition to regional population growth, demographically, a significant number of “early retirees” (i.e., 50- to 65-year olds) are enjoying the sports of skiing and snowboarding.  Equally important, the “echo boomers” are moving through grade school, coming of age, and picking up snow sports in noteworthy numbers.  As a result, Pacific Northwest ski area operators must prepare for larger volumes of visitation.  The demographic changes are evident at Pacific Northwest ski areas.  In addition to strong visitation, operators have detected a trend of ever larger peak attendance days – more pronounced than what occurred in the 1980s and 1990s.  Most guests concentrate their skiing and snowboarding in the months of January and February when several holiday weekends allow families – sometimes three generations – the opportunity to spend more time together in the mountains.  Over the past 15 years, the region’s ski area operators have added capacity to the critical components of their ski areas to ensure the quality of the guest experience doesn’t decline appreciably during periods of peak attendance.  “Chairlift and slope grooming technology have really changed how Northwesterners are able to enjoy the mountains,” commented Kaden.  “In particular, our operators have fashioned networks of ski lifts and slopes that are designed to help skiers and snowboarders progress through the ‘learning curve’ even more quickly.  In addition, ever-improving snow sports gear, and continuous refinement in coaching methods, result in guests being able to pick up our sports with much greater ease.  Ultimately, this means higher levels of guest satisfaction and a higher likelihood that weekend trials will result in lifelong enjoyment of our sports.” 

Note:  A skier visit is a standard measure of resort use.  It is defined as one person visiting a ski area for all, or part of, any day or night.  Visits by snowboarders are included in skier visit tallies.

The Pacific Northwest Ski Areas Association is a non-profit trade association, which represents the interests of ski and snowboard facilities located in Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and Alaska.  The Association’s member ski areas – most of which operate on public land – collectively host an average of 4.5 million skier visits annually.  For additional information on Pacific Northwest skiing and snowboarding, contact the PNSAA office at (541) 386-9600, or visit www.skiwashington.com, www.oregonski.org, www.idahowinter.org, or www.ski-inlandnorthwest.com to link to the website of your nearby mountain.

Thanks!!!!

Hood Meadows, and for pictures for the interior of the Directory.  The winner of the cover contest receives a 10-time punch pass for Mt. Hood Meadows, valued at $325!  Digital pictures may be e-mailed to Leslie Baird, our graphic designer, at leslie@....  Pictures for the cover contest should be in vertical format that Leslie can crop to 4"x9", and should be as high resolution as possible (the more pixels, the better!).  Please be sure
to provide your name, address, and telephone number so Leslie can get in touch with you with any questions.   Credit will be given to the photographer for all pictures used in the interior of the Directory, but no monetary compensation is paid.  Photos of skiing or snowboarding, of club activities, or anything related to the mountains will be considered.   Don't have a digital camera yet?  Arrangements can be made with Leslie to mail her photographs which she will scan; call her at 503-245-4368. 

Thanks!!

Hood Cultural Center and Museum, located across the road from Huckleberry Inn and only a few yards higher up the road, in Government Camp, organizes an annual "Ski the Glade Trail" Day.   This is the only day when you can legally and safely ski all the way from Timberline to Government Camp.  There's also food and festivities.
Call 503-272-3301, or check out their web site at: www.mthoodmuseum.org .
 
 
2ND ANNUAL NWSCC  SNOW GALA & CASINO NIGHT:
This event has been moved to May 8th.  Venue to be announced.  We will have a wonderful sit-down dinner and a no-host bar, music and gaming tables, as well as great raffle prizes, and a silent auction.  This event was a great success last year, but was small as the first year.  We're trying to build it up this year, and it is a charitable event, with a portion of the proceeds to go to the Mt. Hood  Cultural Center and Museum.  Contact Debbi Kor at (503)682-1563 or ijustwannarun@... if you'd like to purchase a couple tickets.  It's going to be a great 'black-tie optional' event.
