(Jlisan, recently appeared in a Sunday edition of the Oregonian: Suow-shueine; and skiing are sports suggestive of Canada or Norway. Few Oregonians would include them in the list of local attractions, and yet they should be added, for within a day's journey of Portland any one can secure this most exhilarating exercise. There is no uncertainty about snow; it is there the Winter long, and the only question is as to its condition for easy traveling. In February, 1904, a small party of enthusiasts left t'ortland lor Mount Hood, taking the train to Hood River. sleighs the next morning to the base of the mountain, and sonw-shoes up the grade to Cloud Cap Inn, 6500 feet elevation, where the night was spent and return made the following day Notwithstanding many inconveniences and difficulties due to inexperience, for all were novices, the trip was pro nounced iilL'reat success, a snowshoe club was organized with a dozen mem bers, and every year since the club has made a Winter trip'to Mt. Hood, five trips to Cloud Lap inn, on the north slope of Mt. Hood, and two .trips to Government Camp, on the south side, and last Winter to its clubhouse con structed last Fall, near Cloud Cap Inn. Each trip has varied from the other sufficiently to banish any thought of sameness or repetition, and yet with it all there is the same alluring fascina tion making one look with longing eyes toward Hood in its mantle of snow as the Winter months commence to slip along. , Some judgment is necessary to go when the snow is at its best, and ex perience has proved the latter part of January or early February oner the best snow conditions. A trip this Winter during the last week of March by a small party proved most enjoy able, and a visit in October, while the clubhouse was building, was equally attractive. It is safe'to say that one could go any month in the year and find the trip interesting. Perhaps a brief descrip tion of a Winter trip may be of interest. On several occasions the club has left Portalnd oil morning trains, reach ed Hood River at noon, taken sleighs to some ranch at the base of the mountain, and next morning the sleighs would carry them a few miles farther, where deep snow stopped the horses, and the snowshoe climb commenced. Again and more frequently the party has left Portalnd on the evening train, endeavoring tc time the trip for moon light evenings, and when there has been a fall of snow at Hood River, as the snow means a" long sleighride, a pleasant feature of the outing. Leav ing Portalnd in the evening, the train travels along the Columbia river in its Winter setting of snow and ice. Arriving at Hood River, having secured accommodations at the hotel, an hour is spent looking over equip ment, discussing appropriate footwear and the best way to fasten snowshoes, for it is especially exasperating to re peatedly stop to tighten some poorly- arranged strap and have the others pass by with the air ot superior wi dom. Experience has proved the utter uselessness of a complicated harness or rawhide thongs that stretch when wet. A strap over the toe and one around the heel, is simple, easy to fasten and stays in place. As for footwear, some prefer oil packs, others Erie boots, while an old trapper used artics ex clusively. After an early breakfast, hastened by the jingle of snow bells outside, the party struggled into straw-filled sleighs, the impatient horses plunge into their collars and up the grade they wind through the silent streets and out on the highway in the early dawn. Stars above, a snowy expanse around, keen, biting air and jingling sleighbells, one feels that Santa Claus has no monopoly, though much to be envied . Soonthe stars retire, the sun bursts forth and Hood in its Wintes mantle towers in front, a most allur ing goal. Passing through fields of white, dotted with fruit trees arranged with mathematical precision, the road leads into the heavier limbed forest, inter spersed with clearings, finally stopping at one of the hospitable ranches near the mountain. After an early lunch one travels a short distance further until 21 miles-from Hood River the deep snow and grade too much for the horses is found and, leaving heavy wraps in the sleigh, adjusting snow shoes, start is made up the nine-mile grade, each taking the pace which suits him best. The snow gets deeper and deeper, the road becomes a band of white with an evergreen settign, branches bend to breakinor with the fresh snow and those of the party who feel the grade can rest on the tops oi tne leiepnone poies, while the others, stepping over the wires, keep on. Late afternoon finds the party toiling through Ghost Forest and the Club House is reached in time to view the other instant snow peaks, crimson in the.lurid light of the setting sun. The Club House is built of logs, bolt riveted, with a roof sloping four sides to shake the Winter's snow and; the Winter gales, for one can crush and the other lift with relentless force any thing that dares oppose it. The house is on the ridge just below Cloud Cap Inn, less exposed to the gales, with the entrance on the sheltered side. Tun neling through 15 feet of snow, one can find the door and enter a large room nearly 40 feet long and propor tionately wide, with a huge fireplace on one side and windows on all sides, Bome giving views that no artist can ever hope to rival. The one great and absorbing 'object is the mountain towering above, re flecting moonlight, sunrise and sunset, white, cold gray or crimson, clear cut against the blue, dimly outlined against the back or lost in clouds, mist or falling snow. The long slope down the Ghost Forest ridge affords excellent sport and practice skiiing, and by the time to start down one has mastered his skiis sufficiently to enjoy the long, blissful nine-mile slide returning and only regret the grade will not permit making the entire journey on skiis. Reluctantly one takes . the sleighs to Hood River in time to catch the Port land train that evening. Perhaps some may say we are favor ed in having a clubhouse and the sport is not for all who crave it. This is answered by the various parties who go to Government Camp, which is open in Winter, or to Trout Lake, at Mount Adams and other places where snow can be depended on, and soon we trust the railroad will carry enthusists to the south side of Mount Hood in a few hours, so that persons can in one day's outing enjoy all the Winter sports without the merciless exposure and hardships experienced in cold climates. , uum an VJ UAW111, iiiuiMD.ll, J U.Mi .1', 1JH hereafter to make other trips not only in winter, but Spring, Summer and Fall, and thus get close in touch with the mountain we are all so proud of.
