First of season snowshoe?

[nyxlily]

So, I heard tell that there was a mighty storm over the weekend and there now be SNOW up on them mountains.

Or, more specifically, Mt. Hood!

I'm free either Tuesday or Wednesday for those who want to venture up there for a little bit of snowshoeing to warm us up for the winter season. Any interests?

Of course, this is very dependent on weather.. if it's going to be snowing hard on those days, I'll be waiting for the next opportunity.

I haven't decided on where to go yet.. maybe park up at Timberline Lodge and go from there? A return to some hot coacoa sounds good..

If interested, PM me!

Hey nyxlily, if you don't go snowshoeing, join us on this hike Tuesday:

I might be interested "next" Tuesday or the following Tuesday for a snowshoe, keep us posted!

I am also interested in finding snowshoeing partners...my vehicle isn't up to plowing through much snow. I already got turned back by snow this weekend near Mt St Helens.

I can only get out on weekends, no weekdays. And I am interested in more off-the-beaten path stuff, like NOT Trillium Lake, etc... PM me if you are interested in hitting some snowy trails.

Check it out: Mt. Mitchell on November 14th:

I have the same situation.

Work Mon-Fri, but can get a day off mid-week with advance notice.

Don't drive in the snow, but willing to pay for gas.
Heck, I might even treat the driver to hot cocoa!

New to winter-white hiking, but ready to learn.



Anybody have any ideas?

This winter will be my fourth year snowshoeing and third year xc skiing. When the snow is fresh and powdery, I'm more inclined to go xc skiing. But when the snow is crunchy, then I like to snowshoe as I'm not too technically-skilled on skis (ice scares me).

My vehicle is good in the snow, and I have experience driving in wintry conditions. With gear, I can fit three people in addition to myself and my dog, Max.

Would be fun to get out there with a group, so please PM me if you have some upcoming dates in mind. Typically I go on weekends, but can venture out on a weekday with advance notice.

cheers!

Anyone headed out for the snow this weekend? I'm off that same stretch. I'm a bit like Jessbee too looking for some adventurous 'shoeing.

I'm planning on getting out Friday or Saturday, although I haven't decided if it should be XC-skis or snowshoes.

I'm up for going either xc skiing or snowshoeing this Saturday.
