I'm interested in hearing from readers -- whether it's a weird bird flying around their backyard to the big fish that broke them off over the weekend to skiing down a favorite run. callen@theolympian.com.

Want to get outside? Here are three outdoors things to do this weekend

• Published January 22, 2009

Outdoors lovers, here are three things to do this weekend:

All weekend long: Go skiing or snowboarding! The Cascades are supposed to get fresh snow this weekend, and colder weather is on the way. Could that mean powder on Saturday or Sunday? There is only one way to find out for sure. ...

Friday through Sunday: The Washington Sportsmen's Show is at Puyallup Fairgrounds, and anglers, hunters, campers, hikers and dog lovers get a chance to see the latest gear and learn new skills. For more information, call 1-503-246-8291 or visit www.otshows.com

All weekend long: Western Washington steelhead rivers, such as the Cowlitz and the Kalama, are dropping into prime shape, and how often does that happen every winter? Well, not enough. It's time to hit the rivers before the next deluge of rain puts them out of shape.

Chester Allen, The Olympian
