The other pics on the website are too small.

They are actually huge, but the window that opens when you click ‘larger image’ are tiny.
Click maximize (that square symbol next to the close x 😉 and they get huge.

There’s a few places around Hood you can get quick beginner tour such as Alpine or Glade Trail or Bennett Pass. Those trail are not that steep and worth trying out if it’s your first time on a split.You could also tour around Timberline near the resort. I would just go with Jefe’s advice about renting a split before hauling your…

So, what’s the deal with lodging? Is this place cool with people car-camping in the parking lot or is it pretty much OFP??

For sure. We can’t advertise it loud since they don’t have a permit, but yeah I checked with them and car camping is no problem as long as we keep it cool. Also there is woods behind the bar where you can…[Read more]

The Wallowas is definitely on my Oregon splitboard bucket list. The Steens is another area I want to hit up as well. I was only able to find a few trip report and vids on this area.

I couldn’t get them to work, so I caved and bought Burners. :doobie:

Chris, I love your ruthless optimism!

I’m willing to snow camp, but not available for the 1st weekend in December. It doesn’t matter if its cabin or tent, I have gear.

Cool — is the weekend of 12/10 ok or better for everyone? If so I’ll try to get the cabin (again!) :bananas:

It seemed like anything above the palmer chair lift was iced over. It was very difficult to traverse in some areas during our attempt to Zigzag glacier. Need a couple of…
