The Snow Shoes are provided without any charges by participating dealers and REI offered the Coffee, Hot Water and some snacks to keep everyone warm. There were warm soup last year but did not see any sponsors this year though.. sob* sob* :(
We picked the MSR Solid Plastic Snowshoe since we've not try it on before.. This type of snowshoe if much lighter than the classic types made by metal and will be a great choice for beginners I think..
It was a great day for snow shoeing/skii as the weather was perfectly clear today :) It was kinda hard for us to locate White River Sno-Park as it is not searchable thru either mapquest, google maps and our Nuvi GPS. So if you are planning to get there for the first time, please be prepared that your GPS will not be able to locate the White River Sno-Park. Search for Government Camp and just follow Highway 35 North, it's about 4 miles after the Government camp. I've tried to locate it in mapquest in the picture below where the star icon is located.
Below are the links that you can refer to regarding White River Sno-Park..A SnowPark Permit is required for all vehicles and it is available at a number of places. (Vehicles without the permit will be fine $30)
This is a good place to stop by for breakfast on the way to Mt. Hood, as they have delicious donuts for sale there!
We bought 2 of the Specials dozen which comes with 13 donuts( 7Cakes+ 2Bars + 2Filled + 2Rings).. Sounds weird uh? haha.. we were all surprised too when we found out that there were 13 instead of a dozen(12). Anyway we were given a total of 28 donuts ^-^ ShHhhh... Maybe they realize that 26 isn't enough for 11 of us :) Thanks to Joe's for the 2 complimentary donuts! Cheerss! :)
Attached are some pictures of the amazing views of White River Sno-Park & the Mount Hood (Please forgive me if the pictures ain't good as i'm not a good photographer ^-^).. Enjoy!
