Oregon Nordic Club PORTLAND CHAPTER DECEMBER 2019 Winter ski trails ready thanks to ONC-PDX In mid-December Debby and I drove to Mt. Hood to enjoy the wonderful fall weather and hike the Trillium Lake Trail. As we drove around the area and hiked, I kept noticing the many places that ONC- Ken Wenzel PDX has done trail work projects—the nice skiing we have in the area that goes unnoticed most of the time. When skiing at Trillium Lake go beyond the normal road. Ski down the Red Top Meadow Trail then down the Trillium Bike Trail and connect back to the Trillium Lake Trail. These trails have all been brushed and limbed, and make a wonderful ski away from the crowds. If you want a longer tour in Trillium Basin, add on the Quarry Trail or the Lostman Trail off the Mud Creek Road they have both been brushed, limbed, and marked. Going in the other direction by the Still Creek Campground, ski the Historic Barlow Trail and down the Hemlock Trail, or connect to the Summit Trail. Across the road at Snow Bunny, if you want a little more adventure, ski up the White Away Trail connect to the Yellowjacket Trail going Inside east and connect back to the Snow Bunny Trail for your way back. The Snow Bunny Trail going east 2 Upcoming Events has also been brushed and cleared for some wonderful views on a clear day. 3 Nordic Issues/News Another great area worth skiing is the Crosstown and Camp Creek Trails, they have been brushed Mt. Hood NF Zigzag Open House and limbed and the Forest Service is promising after heavy snow to have it groomed by a tow behind Gifford Pinchot NF groomer this season. Meeting report I am excited about reopening the West Yellowjacket Trail this past summer. It is a demanding ski trail, Deschutes NF and but it opens up a lot of options for loop tours around Government Camp area.

    Hazard Annex Wildfire Northeast Oregon Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan Page P-1 Crews scramble as stray lightning sets off scattering of new fires Published: August 7, 2007 By JAYSON JACOBY Baker City Herald The second batch of lightning bolts in as many days sparked at least eight wildfires in Northeastern Oregon Monday, but the high-voltage squalls also splattered rain on the flames. Those showers, combined with lower temperatures and higher humidities, helped fire crews quickly douse each of the new blazes. Meanwhile an older and much larger fire, which was ignited by lightning in late July in a wilderness area north of Granite, continued to grow Monday, albeit relatively slowly. The biggest of Monday's new blazes, on Mount Emily north of La Grande, burned half an acre. A second fire, near the Minam Canyon overlook on Highway 82 east of Elgin, scorched a quarter-acre; the six other blazes were all smaller than one-tenth of an acre. "We had some pretty heavy precipitation directly under the storm clouds," said Dennis Winkler, assistant fire management officer for the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. "We actually had a little bit of good luck." Good timing, too. Forests and rangelands are so dry, Winkler said, that each lightning bolt is more likely than usual to kindle a fire. And a single thunderstorm can spawn dozens, even hundreds, of bolts. "The fuels are ready to burn," Winkler said. Rain, or just a boost in humidity, can impede a fire's spread for several hours, he said — enough time, in many cases, for firefighters to hack control lines around the guttering flames.
