Barlow Road (12/22/12)

We couldn't resist the call of several feet of fresh snow on Mount Hood!

With most of our holiday chores done, we set out the Saturday before Christmas to cross-country ski at Barlow Road off Highway 35.

We'd never been on that trail, which opens about 1 mile in to a gorgeous meadow:
The weather was spectacular! Warmish with sunbreaks and no wind.
It was a great trip, though it was cut a bit short after my clumsy first-ski-trip-of-the-year legs took one too many falls, and I ended up nearly doing the splits and stretching my groin far beyond its capabilities!

I'd love to go back once I remember what I'm doing out there :)
