My brother and I went out for a X-mas eve tour on Hood today in hopes of finding some leftover pow.  Given the fair weather we toured up around 7,100 ft. near the East side of Mississippi Head. 

We skied down the edge Zigzag Canyon trough pockets of windblown soft snow to treeline.  From there, we found lingering powder stashes in some NW facing trees where we made 4 laps. 

Traversed back into the ski area, and scored a complimentary lift ride up the Jeff Flood Express to make the trek back to the car easier than anticipated. 



Beautiful day to be above treeline, eh? Nice work earnin' em, I opted for lift served again. Glad to see your bro is still rockin the gold aviators.
