First, we had to wait for the snowcat to pick us up at the bottom of Palmer Glacier. We had fun rolling chunks of ice down a small gully while we waited. The snowcat could only take ten people per ride but luckily, we got the first ride up! When the cat came we had to put our skis and snowboards in buckets on the back, then we got inside and found a seat. The weather was very sunny so we could see a long distance over the mountain. It took about thirty minutes to get to the top. Once we got to the top we took our skis and snowboards out of the cat and took our time putting on our gear. Then we began skiing and snowboarding down Palmer Glacier! It was very nice skiing down Palmer because there weren't any other people on the slope except some hikers slowly making their way up. I can't wait to go again!

Awesome Cat Skiing at Timberline on Mt. Hood in Oregon!
I got an awesome chance to go high up on a snowcat at Timberline Mt. Hood with my friend!
