Great work, that's a haul! I tried it a couple years ago but bailed in the heat about halfway up stuart. Based on you map it looks like you may have skied down the southeast route, no...
Figured as much... but you never know. Thanks!
Hey, was this is May or June?
Beautiful area, thanks for sharing.
We were the whiskey guys - glad you enjoyed it. I think we may have enjoyed it too much on Friday, but we still ended up getting up to about 8500 ft on Stuart just before it socked in and we dec...
I was just about to post that same picture of the slide. We were the party skiing the trees farther to the east of the bowl. The fracture up high was quite impressive. But it was al...
We toured near there on sunday. We did some laps around gunbarrel and eventually toured way over Pickhandle ridge. The wind was ripping one the ridges and it pretty evident good size slabs...
author=skimd link=topic=15603.msg65226#msg65226 date=1266201009]We saw your left-over tracks up there today - nice turns! Lots of loose sluff and huge pinwheels coming down off of the south fac...
Great meeting you guys and skiing with you guys Sunday. Our goal was to make sure you had a hangover so we could keep up with you the next day. The snow certainly exceeded my expectations...
We had a tremendous day up there as well... we skied a couple laps in the golden gate bowls then head over to the mazama back bowls and had another nice lap. We didn't notice any major sign...
Here's a shot of the snowmobile triggered slide just after it happened. We were standing on the ridge about 15-20 feet of the fracture line. Pretty good spot for a slide - wind loaded...
I did the afternoon patrol with my dog Hank and managed to leave the car at the ripe hour of 2pm. Unfortunately, I had to be in the office all morning. In the forest down low it was prett...
Great trip and pictures! I skied the cannon couloir last year about this time, but came up from the stewart lake trailhead. Did you ski out that way, or did you cross the river lower down...
I think the sign said Rainy Creek, but not certain. If I were to go again I would be tempted to go up the forest just to the right (west) side of the drainage. If there was more snow, I wo...
John - went up to the North Glades on Humpbackyesterday and found great snow again as you described. It was way better than what I found higher up on Snoqualmie Mountain on Saturday. Quite...
Nice work... I was staring at that exact line on my way down from the pass this afternoon. Thanks for the report.
Hey Chris,We were up on the ridge and peak just west of you and saw you booting up. Looks like a great pitch. We obviously found the same conditions on south aspects and couldn't res...
From your pictures it looks like you are standing on cave ridge - did you do a big loop?
I was up on Muir that day as well shortly after the slide came down at the top of the Nisqually chute. Glad everyone was alright - it looked pretty scary from where we were. Part of it dum...
Agreed. Snoqualmie was great this weekend. A little snow saturday, clearing sunday, and sun on monday. We found many grin producing turns. On Monday we saw a fracture line on...
Good to know the conditions were still good up there. We had some fun up there on new years eve and the Saturday before.As far as the north side, I remember this trip report from last year among...
Once there is more snow, that descent is not too bad...
Out dog has pretty short hair - he is a rotty german shepherd mix. Subsequently never had a problem with snow in his paws. He does get very cold if we stop for extended periods or stay ove...
Greg and I saw you guys on the way up and wondered if you actually dropped into the slot. Four of us tracked up the slot pretty well on saturday, so I bet the turns would have been pretty heinou...
