Dumb question but is there a daily bus service from Hood River to Mt Hood for skiing?

I'm still playing in the water...tested new spot for Southies here in my back yard.
Baker Bay, WA (Ilwaco)

Brisk...but fun... if you squint hard, you can see Saddle mountain, across the river, with SNOW on it in the distance...

Thinking about Friday/Saturday trying out another spot on Willapa bay, but 35 degree temps on that cold East wind may keep me inside.

Love seeing everyone hit the snow on here!!
KITE ON!!

i got a lot of cool stuff! new 2013 Slingshot tyrant surfboard for my california coast trip next month, and a best safety leash to replace my hammock cord and $3 carabiner clip ive been using tied to my harness. Actually im most excited for the safety leash.. my girlfriend pulled a leading edge to strut connection off while trying to help me land my 6m fuel in 45-60mph winds last week.. 5 seconds to pull the chicken loop release before deflated kite.. always wondered what would happen if the center line safety snagged.. think you can untie a buntline hitch under tension getting ragdolled? haha im glad i probably wont have to find out.

You riding the 42" version Stringy? How's it ride vs. a regular sized board? You using a shorter fuselage with it?

this is the 54" version. I rode it with a shorter mast and it was a perfect setup for carving on a foil in swell.
one concern I had was with this board, I found it more challenging to plane in ultra light winds due to it's smaller length. great board though, glad to see slingshot coming out with innovative products for the foil market.
