Driving in three cars: L's car (small sedan, 5 seatbelts, only 3 with skis), N's car (5 seatbelts, 4 with skis uncomfortably, 3 with skis comfortably), W's car (5 seatbelts, 3 skis?).

We will drive from Seattle to the "Tilly Jane Sno Park", which is right next to a small ski area ("Cooper Spur Ski and Tubing"). Via I-5/84/35 this is about 250 miles, 4h15m. Going I-5/26 (south around Mt Hood instead of northern route along Columbia River) is roughly the same distance and time (a bit shorter but slower). Trailhead is at 4900ft.

''NOTE:'' will need Oregon Sno park pass, and parking lot may be unplowed: [https://www.oregon.gov/odot/dmv/pages/vehicle/sno_park_permits.aspx]

Two options for hike from the parking lot to the cabin is:
* via the trail "Tilly Jane Ski Trail #643", 2.5miles with 2000ft elevation gain, narrow [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6seJGRkEaU]
* the summer road up to Cloud Cabin, 9 miles with 2000ft elevation gain, wide, may be bare at base [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MytuZ5d96oA]

Planning to drive down Sunday morning, park, then hike/skin in. On Thursday morning, ski down to the car and drive home. Nadya is going home on Tuesday. Some folks may bail earlier in the week.

The 2.7mile trail, up 1992ft to the cabin. Will need to haul pretty much everything up, unless somebody wants to do a day hike back down. Maybe we can haul stuff in a sled? Not clear how direct (vs. side gradient) trail is.
