I really like Portland overall.
Summers can be hot. But they only last a month or two. The rain is cold (the way it's supposed to be).

How far is Mt. Hood from downtown Portland. What's the skiing like and how many places are there in a 2 hour radiusComment
-
It's probably just under two hours up to the resorts on Mt. Hood. There are two really good ones up there, and one fairly decent one. You can ski all year 'round up there bc of the glacier too. Boarding in July with shorts and a tshirt is pretty fun.
Mt. Bachelor is about a 3-3.5 hour drive.Originally posted by GrueliusComment

Nice. My girl and I are planning on moving up there soon. We're hiking the Appalachian Trail for the second time in 2011' then taking the plunge up there. I'm originally from VT and I miss skiing badly, so getting closer is extremely important.
Thanks for the great infoComment

If your wife has a lot of experience as an RN, talk to a recruiter here and see if she can land a job before you come (should be easy). They might pay for some of your moving expenses with the sign on bonus.Originally posted by GrueliusComment

Portland is almost just as described by all the positive comments above. You have so much stuff with in two hours of you that you can find SOMETHING to do. If not, you aren't young enough :D. People are friendly, living is easy mostly. Medical field should be an easy place to find a job. The weather is ten times better than anywhere in Texas. None of that crazy humidity that you guys experience.
