Looks like a fun crew and good times. For ice skating I usually go to the Valley ice skating rink. For snowkiting Mt. Haggin and Georgetown lake can be sick later in the season. Definitely worth another visit for those of you that haven't been around when there's a solid layer of snow. It was really fun last year in February for the second event.

Hells yea Mt.Haggin is sick!! goergetown lake is cool also theres a little hill way on the west side(I think? somewhere on the lake) thats fun too play on and they had a ok rail there to play on , didnt maker last year but looked like a Great time and Jake brought his best rail so im sure that made it even Doper!! the Snowkite Rodeo is a great event!
Heard the Rodeo will just be at Haggin this season..

Gene cant tell if your joking about the Skating or are you serious? or just ripping on the conditoins. I was looking for some pick up games until I blew my knee, I know the Gorge surf shop dude scott Plays and I remember Mark T telling me years back they play in town here somewhere? is that the valley rink u spaek of? would be cool to find some other hockey doers out here!
you are from Russia right I thought u mentoined that to me in SPI last year? You Russians play mad hockey! although 1980 was a tuff break http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_on_Ice Wink

Haha, I was kinda ripping on the conditions, but guys do play hockey at the Valley skating rink.

I did play some hockey in Russia when I was little, but haven't in well over a decade. I still have some hockey skates somewhere in my parents' garage, but I've never actually played hockey on them.

hey genek,.....was'nt the slider project supposed to be there and help provide sliders and rails for the event???

Or wait, maybe it was'nt ideal enough so it was'nt worth the effort. Laughing

There was talk of this, we built most of the rail, but didn't go because of the conditions. I couldn't go anyway, so it was kind of out of my hands.

The rail is sweet, 20' double barreled shotgun rail. Hopefully it will be out at the next snowkite event, whatever that might be.

Any talk of snowkiting THIS coming weekend?

lol,...i'm just messing with ya. It would have been hard to keep em in place anyway. But i do want you guys to seriously consider coming down for the snowdaze event.

Looks like a good forecast, hopefully saturday will dump at crater lake.

Thanks to everyone that showed up to support our event. I am glad everyone had a great time and that we were able to help get this years snow season going with a fun event.

I had a great time getting to meet all of our new friends.

Congratulations to all the competitors that competed in the events. Competing on ice isn't the best but you all did great. You went fast, and high despite the lack of snow. You all rocked.

By the way the sol I can set you up with the switchblade setup. It is easy to set up just don't try and go on any ski hills with it. They tend to say no to boards with it on, but it is an awesome addition for ice boarding.

The weather for this weekend is looking epic lots of snow and wind. Hoping to ride Black Pine.

If anyone is in the area get a hold of me.
