While new snow around here lately has been non-existent, Chad and I took a weeknight trip a couple weeks back to Skibowl for some night riding and skiing. From the top of ski bowl we were met with clear skies, and a fantastic sunset. We could see Rainier, Adams, Hood, St Helens and Jefferson from the ridge. We just stopped and watched the sunset, with some killer alpenglow on Hood.
This last one was taken when we were out on an excursion with our friend Ginny and her husband Shane
A couple weekends back our friends the Kantas came up for a visit. After having some dinner downtown we headed around a few spots to find a good view of the city as the sun was setting. One of the few days the sun has been out all spring. From the Vista Bridge I was able to get a couple good shots with my telephoto lens. Our friend Nick has some too from this location. Hopefully he puts some up soon too 
This shot was taken at the top of the magic mile. On of my favorite places to be on a clear day!
My winter love has become snowboarding. I started last year and went up about 10 times in the spring. This year I have a season pass. Aside from the sport, it gives me a lot of opportunities to watch Mt Hood change as more snow arrives. It’s a different contrast between the seasons, and with all the hiking we do, we are fortunate to see them all.
Here are a couple early season pics from my snowboarding trips.
Here are some pictures from our hiking trip to Paradise Park, along with a few from our Trillium Lake Camping Trip
