ONC Wy’East Ski Tour Get two weekends worth of skiing in on one day. We’ll set up a car shuttle and then ski from Glacier View Sno Park (by Ski Bowl) all the way to Pocket Creek. We’ll gain ~2,800 feet, drop a little less and cover ~18 miles as we ski some of my favorite trails: Cross Town, Yellow Jacket, White River, Bennett Pass, and Meadows Creek Tie Trail. This is an advanced tour both in distance and in technical skiing required (Yellow Jacket trail is very advanced). This will be a long day with9+ hours on the snow but this is my favorite tour at Mt. Hood. Meeting Time: 5:30 AM

3. General Comments Fitness Bail Out Options Pace
I would not recommend doing this trip if you do not think you can complete it (you run the risk of ending the trip for the rest of the group)
Bail Out Options
If you must stop during the tour your only option will be at one of our road crossings of HWY 35. At that point you can hitchhike to a place where the we can pick you up on the way out.
Pace
We don’t need to travel fast when skiing but we absolutely cannot dawdle on the trail. Please make sure your equipment is in good order. We will not take an extended lunch break. Instead, at regular intervals we’ll stop for minutes to refuel.
