[Open] Hit the Slopes
Characters: Everyone!
Location: Mount Hood, Oregon
Rating: Varies
Time: July 28th - 29th
Description: Skiing! Hot chocolate! Snowball fights! Hiking! Folks of Death City say 'screw the heat' and decide to take a frosty vacation a few states away. COMMENCE MISCHIEF.
The discounted price came at a surprisingly good time. With the temperatures in Nevada climbing and no end in sight, it seems the owners of a Pacific Northwestern lodge took pity on the Meisters and Weapons of Shibusen and offered them a break from the heat. Despite it being July, the snow was still plentiful for skiing, snowboarding, sledding and innertubing! Dress warm, rent some gear or bring your own and have at it, they say!
From dawn to dusk, the mountain is lively on all sides, boarders and ski nuts to ski newbies enjoying a mid-week break while nature buffs take hikes over the trails on the greener side of the mountain, reachable by a short bus ride from the main lodge. Whether you're more into the powdery white or the vivid green, there's a spot for you to take a breather on Mount Hood.
The question is, where do you even start?
[I volunteered to put up the log for the Oregon trip, and here it is! Tag in to one, two, or all three of the areas noted and start your own open or closed threads within. Tag yourselves in (you guys know the drill), mingle, and enjoy!]

[He tries to push his skis into the correct position, crosses the tips, and... no it seems like he's about to fall again.]
no subject
Shit, I was vague. Sorry. Y'want somethin' kinda like a V, but keep the tips a little apart, too. Like-
[Okay, step-step, and with the poles keeping him in place he's got the wedge going with his own skis.]
Like this. Let's try it again.

[He regains his balance with a laugh and tries again, this time with more success.]
no subject
[He regained his balance and Kanji backed off to observe. Knees bent, good, wedge, good. Then, like a baby deer after its first steps, there goes Takuto getting the hang of it.]
That's it! Awesome. You practice that and work your way up real slow. Nobody busts the bunny slope in a day, man.
