News From the Hood!

We've been having a great season here up on Mount Hood.  Despite some days with an ominous forecast we've still had tons of successful climbs with sweeping views from Mount Rainier to the North and the Three Sisters to the South.  We're still enjoying the record snowfall year we had in the Oregon Cascades with tremendous summer ski mountaineering. For some reason it's really hard to get tired of skiing when the snow is this good!  Right now we're seeing great conditions with cold weather and firm snow. All the main variations on the southside are in great shape, although somewhat steeper.
