Boyscout Ridge: Jan 28

Congrats to Eric on his turns all year campaign. He has inspired me to get it down this year!

Trip Report:
Waking up with less than 4 hours of sleep sucks. I almost bailed on skiing but decided to fight off the late night with an early morning and head east for a ski. We decided to hit up Boyscout Ridge on Mt Hood for my first tour since moving to Oregon. Along with some new friends from my school we made a fun day of the 5 mile round trip. Nothing huge just getting the legs back for the season. The backcountry on Hood is different from the the sea to sky. Lahar flow canyons freckle the landscape down low while up high the open bowls are more familiar. Pretty cool area with so much to explore!
