The inside story on outside recreation for South Puget Sound and beyond
Sunday, July 27th, 2008
Posted by Craig Hill @ 09:38:40 pm

O.K. the big ski-all-year project is coming to an unceremonious end and I blame Jeff.

I'd planned to head down to Mount Hood tonight to get in some runs tomorrow, however a change in Jeff's schedule means I have to spend the rest of the month in the office doing real work. (Meanwhlie, Jeff is fishing on Vancouver Island. Nice.)

So the streak will end at eight months in a row with at least one day of skiing.

My personal best is 18 months in row (2005-07). So it can definitely be done.

This year, unfortunately, I'm going to have to leave it to the hardcore skiers and boarders.

Check out the trip reports from some of those people on one of our region's coolest adventure sports websites: turns-all-year.com
