  • This Mt. Hood adventure park comes alive every summer

    This Mt. Hood adventure park comes alive every summer
    Jul 10 2025
    When the snow melts and the alpine flowers begin to bloom, it’s time for the folks at Mt. Hood Skibowl to start taking out all their toys. With racecars, ziplines and the beloved alpine slide, there’s a lot that goes into transforming the snowy ski area into a summer adventure park. That’s not to mention the hiking trails that emerge from the snowmelt and the skilift that gets rebranded to the “sky chair” for the season. On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, Mike Quinn, vice president and general manager of Mt. Hood Skibowl, talks all about what goes into the transformation, and how people can best enjoy the summer slopes. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: What goes into transforming Skibowl into the summer adventure park? Activities are offered a la carte, allowing people to design their own days. Does climate change affect when and how the summer season is offered? How to make the most of a summer day on the mountain. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Take on this 105-mile bike ride from Portland to the Oregon coast

    Take on this 105-mile bike ride from Portland to the Oregon coast
    Jul 3 2025
    There is no shortage of beautiful bike rides in Oregon, but the Reach the Beach cycling event is a truly remarkable experience. On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we talk to Vickie Connor, a visual journalist with The Oregonian/OregonLive, about her experience on this epic bike ride. Reach the Beach is a 105-mile ride from Sauvie Island to the Oregon coast, running through the scenic Clatsop State Forest. A fundraise for the American Lung Association, the ride is done in teams that are there not to race, but to share in the scenic ride. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: How Vickie got involved with Reach the Beach. Why the ride is definitely hard, but not necessarily in the way that Vickie thought. The best part of the day? It might have been the salmon hash. Reach the Beach is just one of many cycling challenges in Oregon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
