This was a trip I did with my friends Tasha, Cara and Kara and Kara's dad and sister, Brian and Laura. The trail started out from Bennett Pass Sno-Park, off Hwy 35 on the south east side of Mt. Hood. We were all fairly novice skiers, so we just did the first 2.3 miles or so of this trail, turning around just before a section called the Terrible Traverse for a total distance of about 4.6 or so miles. It was a very enjoyable trip and made me really want to learn how to better ski on free heel skis. We made it there and back safe and sound with only one near death experience. ;) Click next to check out the photos and read the story.
