awsome, im from newbury nh about 5 miles from Lake Sunapee and Mt Sunapee. The lakes region is the best part of the state in my opinion besides the white mountians. i also know a few people that go to plymouth, its nice up there. If plymouth offered the courses i was looking for that would probably would have been my choice.

If you want to go to school right downtown its a good choice, kind of far from skiing depending on what ur used to. Its a sick school though, i would highly recommend it.

Info about the school: Its easy to get into and the classes are easy. it has 30,000 students, making it the largest school in oregon. it is a 65% commuter school, so most people do not live on campus. campus is located right downtown on park and mill, which is a badass location. most of the students are older, and have trasfered from other colleges. many coffe drinking liberals who ride around on fixed gear bikes with mustaches and tight pants. overall, its a great school.

yea whats that all about? i want in.. you can take "skiing" at pcc for the price of one credit and its basically a free ride up to the mountain every sunday for 10 weeks or so.. you can get a discounted 10x pass if you dont have a season pass.

For those of you who go to PCC and haven't already said, which campus are you at?  I go to PCC Sylvania and don't know any other skiers here yet.  What part of the Portland area do you guys live in?  I'm in King City, so I have a little farther to go.

ps: I'm already sick of classes.

Word, hell yeah.  When do you have classes?  I live in SW, so opposite side, haha.  Isn't there a NE campus?  I just moved here a few months ago, so I haven't met skiers at this school yet, so we'll see.

Awesome, I have classes from 730am-950pm MW, 9am-450pm Tues Thurs, and 730-920am on Fri.  So lame.  I'm not getting a season pass yet  because I have yet to grow the balls to go back to my knee doc to see if I need surgery or not (he said 99% chance I will), so... as soon as I do that, it's either a definite yes or no.  I should know within the next couple of weeks.  If you ever want to hang out sometime, let me know.  I messaged you my cell number, and of course, we'll shred together this winter!

Umm, let's see... King City is basically part of Tigard.  I live right off of 99W between Tigard and Tualitan if that helps?  Sorry, I'm not completely familiar with P-town yet, haha.  By the way, Triple Threat was epic!

i'm just gonna take 2 days a week.. and otherwise hoping to get up there as much as possible.  im gonna take this "skiing"class from pcc to, cause its the cost of one credit, and its basically a free ride to meadows every sunday.. you dont have to stay qith the class.. and if yo dont have a season pass i think you get the 10x thing at a discount.

Actually I live in Portland, OR which is not the wrong portland (there is no portland in New Hampshire) and if you read the the post, "where in NH did you come from? i know kids from plymouth" you would understand that I was refering to Plymouth State University.

Damn that's sweet, I was hoping PSU would have some phys ed skiing class too.
I am almost definitely going to timberline (or maybe skibowl if we are REALLY lucky) on Sunday,  if you are interested there will probably be room but I would still have to check with my ride. Let me know!
