This graphic shows the approximate path of the snowboarder's fall from the North Face of Mount Hood.  The victim evidently lost control while snowboarding the upper portion of Cooper Spur, near 11,100 feet, and fell down the steep and rocky pitch to the Eliot Glacier.  The nearly 1/2 mile tumble cost the 30-year-old man his life.   Photo © Matthew Weaver (PMR)  |  Close Window
