Mt. Hood Ski Bowl      This resort has some of Hood's best terrain but since it is the lowest of all the resorts on Hood it typically gets hit and miss snow conditions. When the snow is there though it definitely has some of the more challenging in-bounds runs. The pictures and Video that are posted below are in what Ski Bowl calls its "OUTBACK". These pictures were taken on a great day last season 2006-2007 with some of the BMP dedicated crew.     The pictures that you are seeing below were taken from the top of "Dick's Peak" which is about a ten to fifteen minute boot pack up a, not so steep, cat groomed trail. Very easy to access...... That is always why it is so surprising that there tends to be hardly anyone that goes up there. Typically fresh tracks are everywhere up top with a few short ,but steep, and somewhat technical shoots. Plus you can drop cliffs ranging from 5ft to 50ft. if the show is good. Icy conditions tend to come often here though so be prepared for crust and dicey snow conditions back there.........      Three of the BMP Crew members at the top of Dick's Peak...  As you can see the view from the Top of Dick's on a clear day is amazing with big ol' Mt. Hood in the back...  Even the clouds were creating amazing views...  Looking South from the top of Dick's you can see the whole valley floor....  And just a few hours boot pack with some skins West of Dick's Peak there is a hidden Gem in the lower hills of Hoods' base area. There are some true big mountain lines for the taking here. Look for a more in depth review on this easy access location later on in the year...  Another shot from Dick's  And here are a few crew members Looking savage as ever as they make their way up the 10 minute boot pack trail that the people of Ski Bowl groomed so nicely for all to enjoy, yet very few do.
