Our left coast neighbor...

Anybody want to ski Mt. Hood in June? I'm putting together a little trip that will include a day of skiing the Palmer lift on the south slope, right along side the US Ski Team! We'll lunch in the historic Timberline Lodge. On the way over, we'll see some incredible sites along the Columbia Gorge and hike to the top of Multnomah Falls. The next day we'll scope out the Pearl District as well as a little poking around 23rd in Portland. You can get in on this all inclusive 3 day weekend for only $239 pp. Includes most meals and lodging.

Also, we're still going over to Mt. Hood, April 22 - 24 to climb it. This is not an official tour, so if you're interested in joining this excursion, let me know. You'll need to round up your own crampons, ice ax, trekking poles, headlamp, tracker and energy snacks. We'll drive over to Portland on the 22, get our gear at REI, then drive on up to Timberline to grab a little nap before we start up the mountain at midnight. We'll summit about sunrise and get back to the lodge around noon on the 23. The rest of the day and the next will be unplanned and spontaneous!

Check back for other tours!

  2. Jeff, the trip sounds fantastic! I will be back in California April 21 - May 2. Perhaps the snow will be melted on the 14'ers around here and we could climb one...or two.
