Looks like we’re about done with passing through the Mt. Hood area. It certainly has been quite the mixture of weather as we’ve experienced everything from sun, rain, wind, and fog. Our first two days started off great with sunshine and some great skiing.
Here I am just passing through the Timeberline parking lot en route to a lovely day of skiing.
During our time here we skied with “bunch” pros. Here’s Mike Hornbeck ready to drop into the public park jump line.
The Flanagan family was on site with us for the week, making it happen on and off the slopes. Here are Seamus (age 12) and Paddy (age 10).
For the first part of our stay in the Hood area, we camped by the shores of Trillium Lake. Our neighbor, Jeff Java, was a professional musician and let us record a few tracks for our upcoming video release.
Keri is so into mustaches…
Unfortunately, on the third day of our adventures in Hood, our stay at the shores of Trillium Lake were interrupted by severe rains. We awoke to a leaking tent and a messy campsite. After a two hour clean up, we found ourselves at home inside the Cozy Cabin Cafe in Welches, Oregon for a day off. It was the perfect place to be with free public wi-fi, delicious mac-n-cheese, and other wholesome comfort food.
We quickly bunked up with the Level 1 Productions crew where we spent much of our time at Da Hood House.
Level 1’s Kyle Decker goes through some shots with Phil Casabon, Mike Hornbeck, and Henrik Harlaut.
We also made a pleasant trip to Windell’s to do some skating in Bob, which is the indoor training facility at the camp.
Henrik Harlaut skates the mini-ramp…
Mike Hornbeck drops ‘er down…
Kimmel and I get the shot of Level 1’s Freedle Coty. Notice the shotgun mic. I’m totally meant to be a grip…
Bob is home to indoor trampolines, skate parks, and foam pits. All around it’s just a pretty darn good time. In case you’re wondering what that floating grey ball is around the middle of the frame, that’s Tom Wallisch. Yep, the actual Tom Wallisch. He can double flip, no big.
Tomorrow morning we take Kimmel to the Portland Airport so he can catch his flight to the LA Film Festival. There he will be doing some video work on the red carpet and dealing with “bunch” celebs. Keri and I head up to Bainbridge Island for the night en route to the Whistler area and some more skiing. Stay tuned to justpassingthru.tv for more info on the trip…
