Tilly Jane Sno-Park is a starting point for ungroomed backcountry skiing in the Hood River Ranger District. From Hood River, take Highway 35 south to Cooper Spur Road, then turn onto Forest Service Road 3512. The Tilly Jane Ski Trail, marked with blue tags, is a tough route that takes skins on the climb and brings moderate to steep descents.

The Wagon Road hasn’t been re-marked since the fire. For something mellower, Cloud Cap Road offers easy skiing, and the area also leads to the Tilly Jane A-Frame. The lot fits about 20 vehicles, and picnicking is another option here. There are no restrooms or drinking water.
