My Wife and I just spent 6 days chillin in some awesome summer weather. It rained one time during the middle of the night and not for long. It wasn't too windy and the water was amazing. BEWARE Always wear foot protection. I found several rusty fish hooks, broken glass and rusty metal near the shore. I've also made a pledge to stop using Lead Fishing Weights. In that, I've started collecting lead from the waters I fish. This weeks haul was about 12 ounces of lead from the waters edge. Timothy Lake has an amazing bounty. I will do my part in keeping it clean. I caught a fare amount of crayfish. We cooked them up and most everyone ate some. Our two littles (8 & 10) both ate crawfish. I was going to fish but had to much fun hanging out with my family to leave them behind. That's been the reason a lot this year. I'm always glad to come home and shower but I can't wait to go back camping. In fact. We're going back in two weeks. Nice.

Instead of politely explaining anything, she started interrogating me with endless hostile questions about why I was there. I felt like I was being questioned as if I'd done something wrong. She demanded that I show her the online post where I found the information, and before I could even explain, she said, "I'll have to ask you to leave." The entire interaction was unnecessarily confrontational and disrespectful. I asked a simple question: "Are you open to the public?" She rolled her eyes and replied, "Oh, we are NEVER open to the public except for the fall." The attitude was incredibly condescending. If you're only open to the public during certain times of the year, then make that clear on your website, social media, and any other places where visitors might find information. Don't act like people are unreasonable for asking a legitimate question. There was absolutely no reason to treat a potential visitor with such hostility. Customer service costs nothing, and a polite explanation would have taken less effort than interrogating me. This was one of the rudest interactions I've had with any business, and I definitely won't be returning.

I tried their Thanksgiving "Sides-Giving" in 2024 to ease my stress level of preparing a perfect turkey & side dishes. Alpine Events provided me such an impressive spread for my guests! Their chicken apple sausage stuffing was a show stopper, their roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes with gravy had everyone swooning. And their relish tray was so thoughtfully put together, fresh and HUGE! I stashed that cranberry / raspberry spread just for myself, late at night, atop those delightful rolls. So good. Bonus: When I picked up my order, I was astounded at how lovely their dining area is. Gorgeous high ceilings with rustic exposed beams, lots of windows allowing the natural light to dance in and they've got their liquor license! Where have I been to miss this? Can't wait to sign myself up for their next pop up dinner. I'm hooked!!

You can't just yell at a kid this age and expect them to make a pizza. You have to get on their wavelength and connect dude. $89 wasted. 2)we were all beginners. The one and only green trail was wayyyy to intense at the top for us newbies. The bunny slope was wayyyyyy to short to get anything going. It was nearly impossible to practice in under 50 feet of slope. You just can't get anything going enough to practice. The only other option is to take the chair lift up and hope you don't need to test your health insurance out 3) after prepaying for a few days of skiing and realizing day one this wasn't the place for us they refused refunds for the following days we weren't going to use. That's just kinda crappy. Not saying they're rip offs. But as a customer I feel Ripped off. The rental guy was nice. The lady at window taking down the rental info was kind of cold and scary. I wouldn't recommend this place. Oh and NO BATHROOMS. Just gross portapotties. it would be nice to have a place to wash your hands wouldn't it?

Cooper Spur is a great place for families to learn to ski…read more First, lets start with the price. For $400, you can get your *entire family* a season pass that is good for lift tickets *and* rentals. If you can commit to going 4, 5, or 6 times, that is a killer deal. Pencil out your alternatives, and you will definitely not find any less expensive options. You can use some of the money you save to get some ski school or individual instruction, which is well worth it. Consider it an investment in your families' future entertainment for years to come. The lodge is cozy but unpretentious and comfortable enough. Free wifi is handy, so you can send messages to family members (even if you don't get cell service on the mountain, at least they'll get the message when they get back into wifi). Food is just fine for what it is. The ski lift and runs are nice for beginners. They have a good rope tow to get started with, and then the ski lift isn't too difficult. They have a handful of runs ranging from beginner to intermediate. Even though the runs aren't long, the ski lift doesn't get too busy. Parking can be a problem, and sometimes you need to ride a shuttle up from the lot down by the resort (about 1 mile away). Also the rental center can be very busy, and a line can form that can take 30-45+ minutes to get through. Neither are a huge deal, but all things considered it is a good idea to arrive as early as possible to get good parking and avoid the rush. If you do have to wait, just practice some patience -- you'll get on the mountain eventually. They also have a very small tube hill (I haven't done this, but it looks pretty measly, so I wouldn't make a special trip up just for this) and options for nordic (cross-country skiing / snow-shoeing). If you get the family season pass deal, for another $40 you can add-on nordic rentals and access, which seems like a good deal if you'd like to have some variety. One other nice option is that, coming from Portland, you can take HW 26 (through Government Camp) or US 35 (though Hood River). It is good to have options, as traffic on 26 can back up on popular ski days. Also, there are lots of great restaurants in Hood River that can be enjoyed after a full day of skiing.
