Hi All,
I am planning on climbing Mt Hood next year. First, I am looking for more of an Alpine climb with more snow. I don't want to climb it in July. I am wondering, what are the best weather months for an attempt of Mt Hood. I want A LOT of snow, but I don't want to blow my summit chances because of bad weather. I am thinking about climbing Hood in May...Is early May a good time for weather or would it be better to push my dates back to mid or late May or even early July?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Can anyone show me some pictures of the difference between climbing up through the pearly gates and going by way of the "old chutes".
