On Saturday we headed up to Timberline on Mt. Hood for some very early season turns on Palmer Glacier. It was the first weekend of the season the lift was turned on, and there were a fair number of people doing quick lift-accessed laps (including our three friends Austin, Cara, and Aubrey).Since we're doing our best to save all our money for this pending trip, Ashley and I decided to avoid the $39 lift tickets and hiked for our turns instead. I'm usually against hiking for groomers, but the cost savings combined with the workout (which we both sorely needed), was well worth it. The beautiful sunny day didn't hurt, either.
(Okay, I have to admit: we did poach one little tiny run from the Palmer mid-station after hiking to the top of the chair twice...)
