Annual OR/WA TSF Camping and Wheeling Shindig

HAHA, you will be fine. If theirs snow at all up their you will be just peachy.

 

Hard to pass up fresh powder. Bachelor is one of my favorite mountains to snowboard. Big Sky takes the cake though. They have amazing snow and terrain.

 

Yea, I'm by far no pro but I think I'm slightly above newb now... however this is whole different terrain, weather, ect... so I'm just as newb as anyone here lol. I also don't have a full array of tools with me which sucks... and I have crappy tires which makes me nervous all the more. If it gets too hairy if nothing else it'll be a nice drive down to TSF I'm still excited though, can't wait to get out there.

 

I have my differential drop that is widely exposed and only recovery gear I have is a shovel I have a fire extinguisher as well but I need to go buy a new one...lost its charge. Should be a fun day though!!

 

Well I have my fire extinguisher (small though), recovery strap (just the cheap harbor freight yellow one but they've served me extremely well), three shackles on my truck, and some tools (though I'm missing a ton). I should probably pick up a small shovel, axe, and maybe see if that joint down the street has a 60" hi-lift.

I also have a CB if anyone else does.

 

dude, its amazing. Let me dig up a video of my buddies at bachelor they just made from 2 weeks ago. ill throw it in this post in a few.

EDIT: Jd is in the green jacket, will in the red plaid. We crash at their place when we go over, ive know these two since they were like 13 lol

You have to go to Bachelor. You'll never go to Hood again. Hood is good but Bachelor is better.

Sweet video.

 

haha well if you lived in bend, bachelor is only 20min from their.

 

If you could afford the gas and one night in a motel/hotel in bend, its sooo worth it to go. Best parkS(yes more then 1), HUGE area. The area is like hood but more tree runs and a different feel the Hood.

 

I'm going to Hood tomorrow now instead of Thursday hope I still have $$ for Saturday.

 

It's worth at least one trip. It's a great mountain. My only problem is that every time I've gone to Bachelor someone in my group has gotten hurt. Last year it was my GF with her acl.

 

If you ever go this season you should hit me up! I could be one member of your group that doesnt get hurt haha

 

Tomorrow instead of Thursday you fool lol Yeap. And tomorrow through out the day it's suppose to have light snow showers. AAWWWEESOME!

 

It's been a crappy season so far and I'm not sure if I'll be taking any more trips. It looks like it's getting better but we'll see. If I do go I'll give you a call.

 

Snowboarding = overrated

Wheeling with your forum friends at TSF = NOT overrated

 

i saw your fj parked in that parking lot near the soccer fields on western the other day.

 

Yes you did. That is its weekday home.

 

you know any easy places in corvallis to just play around in? i think i tried driving near strawberry hill? down in philomath. i just want somewhere i cant put it in 4x4.

 

I know of a couple places but I will PM them to you. I don't like sharing spots on a public forum.

I don't know of any place called Strawberry Hill in Philomath? You may have to share this information.

 

i think you need to experience my kind of snowboarding, then you will understand. Plus odds are this weekend will be the last decent POW we get till next season.
