Winter is around the corner!

Well it's been sometime since I have posted anything. We is around the corner here in Hood River, today has been rainy and cold. Government Camp reports 6 inches in the last two hour, it's 1PM as I write. Timberline will run lifts tomorrow. The kids are out of school for the next 5 days starting tomorrow so I guess we should go up and make some turns.

IPS Skate Shop Sold

Here is a shot from our first Snowboard / Freestyle Ski Camp held at Timberline on Mt. Hood. Autumn Inouye doing her first rail.

Well I sold the shop to Mark Partain. Mark skates for Old Man Army, Bones wheel and bearings and Indy... He has deep roots in the industry and still kills it skating. Mark will change the name to HRSS (Hood River Skate Supply) and the new phone number is 541 436-0676.

It's been a good ride for the last 4 1/2 years but now it on to my next project: IPS Academy. We will be concentrating on skate and snow camps as well as private coaching. Also I will be running all the USASA Mt Hood Series Snowboard comps the coming winter season.

I would like to thank all of you who have supported us over the years and hope all you go in and say hi to Mark.
