Wished you lived by Mt. Hood in the summer?

I live in Portland, OR and most people who live here don't know that Mt. Hood has summer skiing. They always say what are you doing this summer, i say skiing and they call me crazy.
Only about 5% of Portland knows about summer skiing at hood. I really don't understand how you would not find out about hood in the summer. Maybe because the can't see the glacier from Portland. Lots of people i know who ski hood in the winter don't even know!
Well that's what i have to say. Think that's pretty crazy?

Dude i go to Barlow and its the same thing, its wierd considering 95% of the people there snowboard and are oblivious to the fact that hood is a winter wonderland AND a summer wonderland. More for me though i guess

is there summer lift-accessed non-park terrain? or do you mostly have to hike for "turns"?

a lot of ppl just hike up, and not just to ride public park... i saw a lot of tele skiers walk up the cat tracks just to make one run in the dirty slush

They just don't advertise summer skiing like they do winter skiing.
I guess the locals have better thing's to do in the summer.
