Senior Tour Clinic, February 8, 2006, Timberline, OR
BY GLENDA SCHUH WHITE PASS

It was with eager anticipation that we jumped into the car and headed for Mt. Hood and the instructor clinic at Timberline. The past several years, this has been an educational event that my daughter, Maria and I have really enjoyed. Being on Wednesday, there is no lift line and the mid winter snow is usually good. The weather has also been a treat with some sunshine the past three years.

Our group of eight met Greg at the ticket area of the lodge and after exchanging introductions and a few comments, everyone headed for the slopes. The morning air was damp with the Oregon mist, but  our hearts were happy to be on snow. As the weather improved, did the location of the runs that were chosen. Greg provided a comfortable, calm approach to our clinic. Everyone was given individual attention to their questions and needs and all of us finished day with more grace and skill than when we started in the morning.

Although the top of the mountain only peaked out at us on rare occasions, we ended the day with sunshine, the wind blowing our hair and smiles on our faces. Thank you PSIA/AASI-NW for providing such excellent events.
