Sorry for not keeping up with the log but Tax season is keeping the man down. Well, After leaving mom's back in washington I headed south to Portland to visit my good friends Trevor and Kat. Although I didn't get in any WOD's their I did manage to have the Tackle the Tower part two up in the out of bounds area of Mt Hood at the Ski Bowl. After having a few beers for a late lunch around 4pm. We went out to get in 1 to 2 more runs. Not knowing where I was at, I decided to make a jump run into the trees thinking it was gonna spit me out on a cat track. Well, lets just say that didn't happen. I make it about 2000 meters down in the trees where I have know where else to go but in a creek. I stop and make a phone call to my boy to tell him not to call for help just yet or till atleast 6:30pm. I said moving, and started making my way up the hill and tracing my path in some crazy snowfall. I had to reach it before dark or it was going to get ugly.
I'm literally trudging in a bear crawl position with my snowboard using it to dig into the powder. know my Iphone is going to die, I turn it off to conserve. I trudge on. Pushing on for about 45 minutes, I notice that I'm sweating profusely and take my beanie off. I trudge on thru the snow and ever disappearing light. I make one more phone call to Trev cause I found my first crash point near the beginning of the run and I start to see the lights from the night skiing runs in the distance. It is now 6:15 and I hear something and call out Trev. I get the reply I want to hear. I move on with a big sweaty smile and frozen solid hair.
I make it out at 6:30pm on the money and we laugh in hysterics and make way to the car and get home to devour some Salmon Cakes and Beer. It was a good night. Indeed...
