A great time at Tribal Ski Days
B y R achel Leo
For the Spilyay
should be getting additional
snow between now and the
next tribal ski day, set for
March 13'
This year marked the fifth
season that Meadows has
hosted the Tribal Ski Days.
This year saw the most par
ticipation, w ith 65 tribal
members attending, along
with 12 employees from the
Columbia River Inter-Tribal
Fish Commission.
In addition to providing
the bus from Warm Springs
to the ski area, Mt. H ood
Meadows Ski Resort sup
plied chair lift tickets, ski
and snowboard equipment,
lessons from professional
ski and snowboard instruc
tors, and pizza for lunch.
More than 45 tribal mem
ber youth and their adult
chaperones recendy enjoyed
a free day of skiing at Mt.
Hood Meadows.
In all, 75 tribal members
and their guests attended
th e activity, h o ste d by
Meadows.
It was a perfect morning
for skiing, with a light half-
inch dusting of snow on the
83—inch packed base.
Afternoon temperatures
peaked at around 60 degrees,
which caused the snow to
soften. This made the snow
a bit soft in the afternoon.
E xperienced skiers com
mented that it really felt like
“spring skiing” conditions.
B ut the m eteorologist
w ho predicts the annual
weather for Mt. Hood pre
dicted that “winter is not
over yet.”
