Hood Public Park

[ardisjc]

I'm driving up to hood tommorow and skiing on friday. How is the park and do you have to buy a full palmer glacier lift ticket to ski the park or do you only have to buy a ride up the first chair?

 

[ScuffDUFF]

full ticket but you really didnt need to make a thread. There is a few with good info in them already.

 

[ardisjc]

I was just curious if anythings changed

 

[SkiFreshPow]

The hike is killer after a while and you'll really wish you went to Windells, but have fun, i mean at least you're skiing.

a friend of mine said its sick, im sure you'll have a good time

 

[blatt]

Its looking good right now but you have to hike it.

 

[ardisjc]

but you still have to buy a full ticket even if you're only hiking the park?

 

[omIV]

just walk up the creek nobody's going to check you. its a bitch and it'll take you a solid 30 minutes but its free

Here's the latest Timberline park update: https://www.newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/553933/

Everything is looking great up here - best August public park in years!

 

[danbrown]

yes.

public park is fucking sick right now. the hike out isn't even that bad and it'll be lappable in less than a week.

 

[blatt]

It will still not be lappable. the reason you cant lap is because at the end of the park you have to take off all your shit and hike over to the lift. then you put your shit back on and then you go to the park again.

its way easier to hike.

 

[ndye]

guna be moved up to palmer so yes it will be lappable

 

[danbrown]

thanks for the info bud. you're wrong though.

 

[EmperorKuzco]

the public park was super nice for august, i was just up at windells and i would shred it everyday going back down and u have to hike like 10 minutes to get to the bottom but it would be definately worth it

 

[danbrown]

public park has been moved. you can now ski to the lift. the park is fucking awesome.

 

[ski2sky.]

yup.. i was just up there today... the park is sooo nice right now.

so many nice rails to hike too after the lift closes

 

[KLovelace]

anyone have pics of the new palmer park?

 

[Billek]

Why do you need pics to convince you to ski park in the summer?

 

[KLovelace]

ha i don't need convincing... i live in portland.. and i already do ski in summer when I'm around to.. but I'm out of the country now and curious what the setup is since I am coming back tomorrow.

 

[UFOsarereal]

it's out of control right now... here's a quick description, and I'm sure I'm missing some shit - it's like a prime winter terrain park right now.
from the top you can take a couple different lines:1. mini-pipe to small-lipped 25ish kicker2. donkey-dick to down-flat to flat bar3. poppy 25ish booter to 35 foot kicker
then the lines sort of converge into a 'rebound' feature, kind of like the "dream feature" from Windells a couple sessions ago.. there's a box & double barrel rail pointed up a mound of snow that has a wallride at the top. You can hit the wallride then come back down and can hit the box/rail as down features. There's also a pole-jam that sends you to the backside of the mound.
after that, there's a halfpipe, probably 16-18 foot walls.

 

[ScuffDUFF]

wow. I hope it is still this dope next weekend.

 

[Elmo.]

man i wish i could hit that right now... public has been sooo sick this summer

 

[SKIU4EA]

Oh yeah? well i got you beat over here in New Hampshire with a falling apart / unusable summer setup with a stack of ski movies watched 100 times over and nothing to do except fantasize about skiing.

 

[tacobellslayer]

holy shit. coming up in 3 days. so stoked right now, thanks for the update

 

[KLovelace]

damn dude SICK! thank you!

 

[ChillTeenDad420]

so stoked, +k to you good man

 

[Phil.T]

on the website it says that the lifts are open from like 7 to 1 30. just wondering if you can hike the park after and for how long?

 

[UFOsarereal]

you can hike until 3, sometimes later depending on when or if ski patrol comes through.
