Summit Trail, 11/28/09

We took our second ski trip of the season Saturday on Mount Hood. Christine, Lindsey and Jacob joined us for some cross-country fun on the Summit Trail on the south side of Government Camp.
We started at the ODOT maintenance area on the east end of town and skied to Ski Bowl East, where Brad, Jacob and I made a brief trip up the paddle lift and tried to ski down on our cross-country gear. I laughed a lot! Then it was on to Ski Bowl West, where we sat outside and ate our lunch at the bottom of the hill before turning around and heading back.

The weather was calm and warm, just about freezing, with some very light snow showers. It was our first time on the trail, which was fairly wide and flat. It's a mixed-use trail, and because of little recent snowfall, the snow was crusty and very beat up. I've been in much better snow conditions. But it was still a fun adventure!
