Massive at Mt. Hood: Get the Party Started

Categories:

P1010023.jpgThe last update we left you with a picture of mellow summer fun deep in the woods of Oregon. Tanner and crew had taken a few days to shred the public park, spread the stoke, and chill out at the spacious Red Bull Skiing house in Welches.

A few days later it was go time. The crew of Tanner Hall, Callum Pettit, Dana Flahr, Sean Fields, C.R. Johnson, Chris Turpin, and Frank Raymond cruised up the silent slopes of after-hour Timberline in a transport cat to survey the madness that Frank Wells and Jerimiah Pebley of Snow Park Technologies were pushing up out of massive amounts of snow. What they found was a hip with 90-foot long landings on two sides, seperated by a 17-foot wide deck.

Tanner got up on the hip next to Frank and began shaping it to his liking right away. Soon he was bombing in the steep in-run and boosting some large test airs. All the other skiers hit it a few times as well and the general consensus was it was dope, but needed just a bit more vert in the takeoff. Frank and Jerimiah got to work and the crew cruised down set for a full on session the next day. Unfortunately, the weather on Tuesday wasn't playing along, and the shoot was called off after some chilly, windy hits in the increasingly overcast light.

No worries though, the stage was set and the forecast was calling for blue for Big Wednesday and the helicopter coming down from Seattle.
