Hey all, I just moved to the Portland area and was wondering where one goes for the closest decent ice around here? I am aware that this probably means heading up into Washington but was hoping that there is some good options within the 2 hour range. I'd appreciate any suggestions
There are also some possible drips near Tom Dick and Harry mountain but those are a long approach and hit or miss. I’ve personally only been there in the summer, but recently was told they might be in...

As someone else said, there is decent ice high up on the north face of hood on the elliot glacier. Just went up there yesterday. You have to work for it. Almost 5k in elevation gain from the parking lot for a couple routes.
