March 12, 2006, Mt Hood area

I, too, was a Mt Hood skiing visitor that day.  And I skied away a happy customer too!

After battling (happily though) a tough ascent alone up to Pea Gravel ridge from the Heather canyon runout, I finally asked myself Why continue with such good snow underfoot?  So I did laps right there.  Aside from being short laps, conditions were the best I've seen in years.

Stepping off the skis to put on/take off skins put me in up to my belly button.  It was snorkel skiing at it's finest!
