Did you ski West Crater on Hood 5/12?

If so, I have some photos of ya from hogsback if you want them. Nice ride!

I think that may be me. I skied off the summit on Saturday around 11:00 down the West Crater (old chute) route. It was a fun ride but really icy.

Sweet. I will send them when I get home from work today. I'll post one or two on here to show what a badass skier you are too.

Thank you. I look forward to seeing them.

Nice work jrmycarr! What was your runout? Did you veer back toward CR or drop off near Castle Crags? I was hoping the pics (good job 111 btw) would show it.

Couloir,

 

I am not super familiar with the names of all the terrain on Hood so I am not real sure were the Castle Crags are - sorry. A lot of my runout was above the crater. I traversed the crater a little until I got to a steeper section (at least I think it was) and skied down the obvious little chute between the rocks that are just climbers left of the crater. I thought I had a picture of the route I took but I could not find it last night. I ended up skiing just right (or climbes left) of the crater and had a pretty safe runout through the steepest section of the run. I hope that makes sense - sorry I do not have a picture of the route to show.

Thanks jrmycarr. That makes sense. Especially after studying the pics more. We're giving it a shot tomorrow. Hopefully we'll have good luck.

This is helpful. We're heading up tomorrow.

 

Thank you
