A quick trip up Boy Scout Ridge. Once you get past the first 1/2 mile of madness, things were very quiet—no snowshoe tracks past the bowl you climb up to get to the ridge. Went down the ridge on the way back, which was really nice after the new snow. The ski traffic was insane, so I turned around and went back the Hood River way.

(changed the name to make it non-searchable via search engine. Of course those of you guys who know this place will recognize it :) It's an interesting place to explore, the trails have almost no blowdown after the 1st mile and generally better than I expected. Trails range from excellent down below to hard-to-see higher on the mountain, but abundant flaggin...

A few blowdowns to navigate around/over @ the beginning but overall trail is in good shape.
February 18, 2012 WildBill9685 Table Mountain 8 miles 3,500 feet gained
James had been telling me about this hike for quite some time so we finally set out to do it. We took Heartbreak ridge up, which was covered with snow. I had some light duty snow cleats that made it a lot easier but when we got to the top the wind had to have been blowing at least 35-45mph and there was about 18 inches of powder. We hit just about every form...
February 18, 2012 Ken 8 miles 2,500 feet gained
Heard the road to the Lower Dungeness was passable so decided to head over. Not a bad day, cool temps but not cold, grey skies. Dibs and I found the trail ok for the first few miles, then hit some blowdowns. Finally had enough and headed back, but not before heading up the 3 o'clock ridge trail, which was unbroken snow and Dibs had a blast. Not another soul ...

Took the [Altai Hok skis](http://www.altaiskis.com/blog/products/the-hok/) and a [new backpack](http://zimmerbuilt.com) out for an easy ski in this weekend's "blizzard" on Mt. Hood. Turns out that the weather was a mixed bag of wet snow and cloud breaks, making for an extremely beautiful ski trip. Despite the huge mess of trailers and RVs and other signs the...
February 18 to February 19, 2012 tammy warber Barlow Pass 4 miles 1,250 feet gained 1 night
This was an overnight snowshoeing trip. We started at Barlow Pass Snow Park and took the Pacific Crest Trail towards Twin Lakes. We camped at 4600'. The trail was not very busy with only the occasional skier or snowshoer. The temperature was in the mid 20's and probably dipped into the teens overnight. It was snowing the entire trip and we woke up to a few i...

I originally set out to start at the Swiftwater Trailhead and see how far I could get over two nights/three days. I checked in a the BLM office in Roseburg to check on trail conditions and the super helpful staff there told me that there was a 90% chance of rain and the snow level was going to drop to 1000' over the weekend. While I was prepared for those ki...

I spent the week sleeping in various parks around Milwaukee and Brown Deer in order to save on gas money. Instead of coming home from my ceramics studio at 6am I would just go set up the hammock in a park and sleep for several hours before going back to work.

February 12, 2012 Roman Dog Mountain 7 miles 2,750 feet gained
Went up Augspurger trail, down short trail. Augspurger trail has some blowdowns, one requiring to go off-trail in a pretty steep spot, but overall it's been hit much less than 2 other trails on Dog. Since I didn't hike alone today, got little time for trail RX, but got help removing a large pile of branches off trail at one spot.

The plan was to ride my bike up Palmer Mill Road, but there was just too much blowdown. I threw my bike in the bushes after hauling it over the sixth tree in the first half mile. Glad I thought to bring my boots along. Luckily, I found a new trail! It parallels Palmer Mill and cuts through a really nice section of forest and meets Mult Basin Road just west o...

I had been wanting to go snow shoeing for a long time and finally got a pair of snow shoes so James and I went up up as far as we could go. Which ended up being to Silcox, the wind picked up and made it difficult to see and quite cold.
February 11, 2012 Ken Pigeon Point 12 miles 2,000 feet gained
It was a decent day so headed to the Oyster Dome. Seems like everyone else in Western Washington had the same idea. Headed to the bat caves, but just as crowded. Had to wait once at the top so I could take a few photos. To avoid the crowds on the way back I took Max's shortcut, which is part of PNW Trail. Dibs and I were the only ones on the trail so we took...

My first time in Forest Park *ever*! I went on a 4.6 mile trail run with a friend Saturday morning. I love a sloppy run through the mud in the woods.
February 11, 2012 Chris Angels Rest 5 miles 1,500 feet gained
Maybe I'm becoming a softie. Did Angel's Rest because only had 2 hours to hike, I didn't have the wherewithal to find something new, and frankly, it just sounded nice. Aside from the usual crowds coming down, not bad.
February 11, 2012 Krystle East Rock Creek 6.5 miles 1,500 feet gained
Stuck a 10 lb plate in my pack for conditioning and saw how close to Devil's Rest I could get in 2 hours. The 3.4 miles down took 1h 20m. There was some sun, overall a nice hike.

Preparing for a St Helens hike/ski in a few months. Hiked up from Timberline on the east side of the Palmer lift and skied down. We intended to go higher up, but the weather was turning, the wind was picking up, conditions were icy and they just pulled an unfortunate climber's body off the mountain. Skis and boots are heavy! Not sure carrying them up is the ...

Super Bowl Sunday and I headed with Dibs to the Boulder River. A nice day and the trail was in pretty good shape. We traveled as far as we could go and got back to the car after dusk. Fortunately, Dibs does a good job of marking the trail, which is very easy to follow anyway, so he can find his way in the dark. Glad the Giants won, but gladder still for gett...

February 5, 2012 Chris Archer Mountain 5.5 miles 1,500 feet gained
Having just a few hours (sorry again Eric!), we decided to do a little exploring in the Archer Mountain complex. Did a little getting lost, found a lot of blowdown—especially starting at where the base of Archer converges (where I tagged the pin)—which slowed things way down. With 1000 ft of gain + a blowdown every 20 ft ahead of us, we decided to pack it in...
February 5, 2012 Kyle Meyer West Benson Way 10 miles 4,500 feet gained
Great day for a hike up Ruckel Ridge! The catwalk section gets your blood pumping as you have to down-climb little fiddly rock bits with 50 foot drops on either side of the ridge line. Went up Ruckel Ridge without really ever stopping, took a rest creekside, and slogged back down the Ruckel Creek trail.
