But here is some big news that I hope all of you have heard. Kevin Pearce is snowboarding again. This truly, if nothing else, should have been...

Review for HooDoo
Hey guys,
When i went to Hoodoo, we stayed in a community called Eagle Crest, which was a little bit of a drive from Hoodoo which is in Sisters, Oregon. It is somewhat close to Mt. Bachelor and is a great place to snowboard. If your a beginer it is great because there is a small slope hat works perfectly for short rides. There is also another run that heads up to the top and is beautiful from...

Timberline Review
Everyone has heard of Timberline, be it through movies, documentaries or even other people. It is known for summer riding and camps around the area, such as Windells takes their campers up there to board. I have been once and the snow was okay, it was not powder, but it was not terrible ice. It’s a little less open for the most part. If you like open spaces, it is not the best option. The lodge,...
Mt. Hood Meadows Review
Hey guys, okay so I am going to review Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort. If you love big open hills and the option of easy to double black diamond it’s a great resort.

The lodge is quite large and offers a dine in areas for cheaper food such as sandwiches, nachos, burgers and that good stuff, which is table settings like a cafeteria, long tables...

3. The medal was over his pants
4. Howlong do you really think she was down there for.
5. The second picture she was biting the medal, EVERY...

General Things
So Danny Davis is hurt. Mr. Davis, a beloved member of the Frends crew, broke his back riding on an ATV. Not much more is known. From reading FUELTV and TWSnow’s TWEETS, I know that he went into surgery yesterday. I don’t know anything else because I haven’t had time to read anything. Do some investigative reporting, it’ll do you good.
