Weekend at Mt Hood.

A few weekends ago Rob and I went to Mt Hood Meadows in Oregon. Neither one of us had ever been there before, but were eager to try it. This was going to be our first try at snowboarding since moving out west. On Friday night we drove down to White Salmon, WA right on the Columbia River which divides Washington and Oregon. We stayed at the The Inn at White Salmon. It’s a beautiful area and we were there earlier in the fall. Apparently you need chains on your tires to get up to the mountain especially when it is snowing about an inch a minute. We snowboarded on Saturday and Sunday and needless to say, we had a blast. There was tons of snow and the visibility was low, but as someone who has graduated from green runs to blue runs. The green runs were even challenging and blue runs were downright hard for someone like me. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.
