I am considering driving down from Canada to climb mount hood Saturday morning. I will most likely be solo and therefore sticking to the basic Hogsback route, with a possible ski descent of Old Chute if conditions look favorable. How are the current climbing conditions? It looks like a substantial amount of new snow has fallen in the last week or two. I would like to know what the current avalanche hazard level is and whether there are any open crevasses or glide cracks that may be obscured by the newer snow. With the colder temperatures forecast for today and Friday I believe Saturday should be pretty good? If anybody is planning a Saturday climb and wouldn't mind an extra party member I would be interested in joining a group too. Thanks in advance for any advice!
