Hood National Forest (Forest), on the southwest side of Mt. Hood, in northwestern Oregon (see Figure 1, Timberline Ski Area Vicinity Map). RLK and Company (RLK) operates Timberline Lodge and Ski Area (Timberline) under a 30-year Special Use Permit issued by the U.S. Forest Service. Timberline encompasses approximately 1,415 acres. This preliminary assessment analyzes the effects of a proposal by RLK to develop a managed, ski lift-assisted downhill-only mountain bike trails system and skills park. The trails system would be located within the terrain serviced by the Jeff Flood Express Lift within and adjacent to the Timberline Special Use Permit boundary. The Skills Park would be located by the Day Lodge. The trail system would include approximately 17 miles of trail, and the Skill Park would encompass approximately 0.2 acre. The proposed action also includes a watershed restoration activity which would decommission or stabilize approximately 2.1 miles of native surface roads within or adjacent to the project area. This preliminary assessment analyzes two alternatives – the Proposed Action and No Action alternatives. This document and all appendices are posted on the Mt. Hood National Forest web site in the “Land and Resources Management” section, and then under “Projects”: http://www.fs.usda.gov/mthood. 1.1 Background Lift-assisted mountain biking is a popular and quickly growing sport that has evolved from an extreme sport for skilled athletes, to a mainstream sport accessible to a broad spectrum of riders. As an example, the Whistler B.C. Mountain Bike Park sees over 120,000 visitors per summer and the most popular intermediate trail sees over twice as many riders as the most popular advanced trail. Lift-assisted mountain biking involves riders using a modified chairlift to bring themselves and their mountain bikes to the top of a downhill-specific bike trail system. Using a chairlift allows riders of all abilities and fitness levels to descend a variety of trails multiple times and develop new skills in a safe and progressive manner. As with winter ski operations, bike parks provide an opportunity for educational and skill building programs for the public. One common misconception is that mountain bike riders descend the same runs as skiers use in winter. While mountain bike trails sometimes cross ski runs, it is important to understand that downhill mountain bike trails are built specifically for summer use and are generally far less steep than even the easiest winter ski run. Properly designed, constructed, and maintained lift- assisted mountain bike facilities provide well managed opportunities for local and destination visitors to practice their sport in a safe and sustainable fashion.

This is especially important at turns or other features in the trail as it reduces the need for braking and minimizes impacts to soil and vegetation. Additionally, with a well designed bike park, riders stay on the trail because of the way the trail flows, speeds up and slows down for the next feature.

  • A Kite Surfing Scenario
    Biomechanics of extreme sports – a kite surfing scenario Lina Lundgren 1, Sofia Olandersson 1, Marita Hilliges 1, Anna-Lisa Osvalder 2 1Product Development in Healthcare, PRODEA research group, Halmstad University, Halmstad, Sweden Email: [email protected] 2 Department of Product- and Production Development, Division of Design Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden Do extreme sports contribute to higher biomechanical stress compared to other sports? Kite surfing is one of the upcoming popular extreme sports, where very few have studied the mechanical forces that act on the body. There are several factors that contribute to mechanical stress, and for preventing injuries it is of interest to investigate how these forces affect the body and how we can develop the equipment and prepare the athletes for making it as safe as possible. This project will study injury prevalence, motion analysis and mapping of forces and pressure during kite surfing. The outcome will be a better understanding of biomechanics of kite surfing and a construction for testing and training. biomechanics, kite surfing, injuries, muscle strength, motion analysis 1 Introduction Extreme sports are becoming more and more popular, and since these sports often are associated with higher risks than other sports (Slanger, Rudestam, 1997), it is also possible that the biomechanical stress is higher and contributes to more injuries. Kite surfing is a water sport where the practitioner goes on water with a board through the power of a kite 25 meters up in the air. The kite is attached to the body via a Force from harness around the waist or hip (see Fig.

EXTREME SPORTS AND EXTREME LIABILITY: THE EFFECT OF WAIVERS OF LIABILITY IN EXTREME SPORTS Amanda Greer INTRODUCTION Imagine that a skier in a base jumping competition is about ready to jump off a cliff. Once the skier jumps off the cliff, usually the bindings of the skis will come off and the parachute will open, enabling a safe landing. However, in this situation, the bindings of the skis come off, but the parachute fails to open. The skier subsequently crashes to the ground, sustaining extremely serious injuries that leave the skier para- lyzed. As a result of the injuries, the skier files an action against the sponsors' involved in putting on the competition, claiming that they were negligent in giving him a defective parachute. The sponsors as- sert that the skier signed a liability waiver barring all claims, even negligence.

  • Maps for Different Forms of Orienteering
    MAPS FOR DIFFERENT FORMS OF ORIENTEERING László Zentai Eötvös Loránd University, Pázmány Péter sétány 1/A H-1117 Budapest, Hungary [email protected] Abstract: Orienteering became a worldwide sport in the last 25-30 years. Orienteering maps are one of the very few types of maps that have the same specifications all over the world. Orienteering maps are special, because to make them suitable for orienteering the map makers have to be familiar not only with the map specifications, but also with the rules and traditions of the sport. The early period of orienteering maps was the age of homemade maps. Maps were made by orienteers using available tourist or topographic maps and only after the availability of cheaper reproduction techniques started the process of special field- working. The International Orienteering Federation (IOF) was formed in 1961. The Map Commission (MC) of the IOF has introduced different specifications for the official disciplines (before 2000 the ski-orienteering and foot-orienteering were the only official disciplines). The last version of the specification, the International Standard for Orienteering Maps (ISOM) was published in 2000 and included specifications for foot- orienteering, ski-orienteering, mountain-bike orienteering. A new format, the sprint competition, required new map specifications (ISSOM) which were finalized and published in 2007. The aim of orienteering map specifications is to provide rules that can accommodate many different types of terrain around the world and various forms of orienteering. We can use the experience of the official disciplines for developing new specifications: the official disciplines and formats were developed in the past 30 years (most of them are even newer).

  • Ramona Falls Hike, Mount Hood Wilderness, Oregon, OR
    www.outdoorproject.com MADE BY: Anzelina Coodey CONTRIBUTOR: Tyson Gillard LAST UPDATED: 08.10.16 © The Outdoor Project LLC NOTE: Content specified is from time of PDF creation. Please check website for up-to-date information or for changes. Maps are illustrative in nature and should be used for reference only. Ramona Falls Hike, Mount Hood Wilderness, Oregon, OR Adventure Description by Tyson Gillard | 06.12.12 The 120-foot Ramona Falls is tucked away on the western flanks of Mount Hood, and while the cascade is a remarkable destination by itself, the trail leading to the falls is equally delightful. You'll begin hiking along the open and sandy bed that flanks the Sandy River. The granular nature of the soil means that the river bed is home to a distinct blend of flora not typically found in the Mount Hood area, such as the many lodgepole pines, Oregon beaked moss, juniper haircap moss and broom moss. Once you've reached Ramona Falls, loop back on the trail’s northern section, where you'll gain a great appreciation for Ramona Creek. The trail follows the creek and adjacent cliffs downstream as it weaves through a forest of western hemlock, noble fir and western red cedar. If you are in the mood for something a little more challenging or you are looking for some good backpacking, continue on the Ramona Falls trail to Bald Mountain/McNeil Point, the scenic and secluded Yocum Ridge, or to the incredible wildflower haven of Paradise Park. Tyson Gillard | 06.12.12 Getting there (from Portland): From Portland, take I-84 E Take exit 16 for 238th Dr toward Wood Village Turn right onto NE 238th Dr Highlights Continue on NE 238th Dr, which turns into SE 242nd Dr/NE Hogan Dr DIFFICULTY: Moderate After roughly 3 miles turn left onto NE Burnside Rd/US-26 E TRAILHEAD ELEV.: 2,460 ft (750 m) After roughly 27 miles, just past Welches, turn left onto E NET ELEV.
