Mt Hood Cooper Spur Day 2

After a great initial day of exploring, I was anxious to get up and get another good lap in before heading home.  We followed the prior day's tracks up the mountain and were gobsmacked by how incredibly clear and warm it was.

As we ascended, we realized the snow conditions were better.  The icy spots were softer and we were picking our way up the spur.  We collectively decided to keep moving up until the snow conditions turned into consistent ice.  We ended up transitioning just below the spot and were treated to amazing views and awesome turns.  There were a couple of other people on the spur but we mostly had the area to ourselves and were spoiled to have the area completely to ourselves as we descended.  Pure unadulterated bliss!

Pictures speak volumes so here we go:
