October 27, 2004, Mt Hood South side

Mt. Hood
I went to Mt. Hood. Very early in the morning I was at Mt Hood Meadows, I checked the snow condition it was not bad than I headed to Timberline lodge 5900 ft and started to climb from there. I had a good day. Snow condition is better at East side- Mt hood Meadows. There is not to much wind effect.

Wind: strong all day long
Snow condition: strong wind created hard pack snow and surface is not smooth. There are small ice parts. There are some small rocks but you can avoid them. Bring your old skies. Right side of creak bed is good place to climb and ski.
Weather: sunny all day, there is a Mushroom shape cloud top of the mountain over 10000 ft.
