mt hood April 20th

[aaron479]

We (teem of three) are planning on a mount hood climb April 20th. Right now the weather looks less than desirable, and I am just wondering what the current conditions are. I am new to the Cascades (live in Colorado). If anyone has a website that would be of use...please advise

Indeed... weather is not looking friendly for climbing next weekend. But conditions can change quite a bit from forecast in a week, 'roun hur.

 

I would plan to not climb, and I would plan to not climb if conditions are questionable- that's how we get people dying up there every year.

 

www.nwac.us for avy conditions

and I'm partial to www.mountain-forecast.com for weather.

 

Otherwise, if weather is suppose to be good, you can find the mountain in any sort of condition- bottomless powder to solid crust, or anything in between... just depends on what's been going on the previous week.

 

Good luck... be safe!

been round long enough to know when to call it quits, so I agree...may be chillin' in Oregon is the plan. How far is Smith Rocks? Probably questionable weather there too...
