Trip: Mt Hood - July 11 - South Route

 

Date: 7/13/2016

 

Trip Report:

Spectacular conditions after a few days of crap weather. Skiing from Crater Rock down zigzag was buttery smooth; best I've ever had on Hood. Still plenty of skiing to be done!

 

We were able to skin nearly from Timberline, albeit through the terrain park (oops). Early enough that it was not a problem. Top of Palmer around when ski camps were firing up for the day. Was blown away by the number of race campers!

 

Have Fun,

Dave.

Were you alone? How many hours did you need to make it to the top?

Thank you for all the nfo you can provide.

Party of two. From parking lot to Hogsback usually takes me 4 hours. From there to top is another 45 min or so. Quick ski down!
