Major Major Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Trip: Mt. Hood - Powder Skiing - Zig Zag Date: 12/8/2012 Trip Report: My friend describes the details in this blog: Early Season Skiing Overall, despite low visibility, we had some amazing runs. The lesson learned for me: you don't have to ascend thousands of feet to enjoy fresh snow. The traverse into the snow line made all the difference. We used altimeter for navigation due to low visibility conditions, and it was sort of fun driving blind. Gear Notes: Backcountry ski set-up. Approach Notes: General traverse with some altitude gain. In general, we played at the 6k level to access the finer snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
