Zap, you're out there! Looking forward to the photos.
European (French) Internet retailer. http://www.telemark-pyrenees.com/
I'm not a detective, Michael. That's the exact set-up I ski, and I like it! If you look hard at http://www.turns-all-year.com/indexyrsimages/hostetlerb/pho.html you'll recognize my Trab Piuma Sintesis...
I don't know who the would-be skier is in the photo, but the choices of skis (Trab) and bindings (Dynafit) are good ones ;) And the photo explains the name of Jim Hell.
Ok, I give up. What's this 'PC' about, Zap?--Ok, I read your report more carefully PC=Pebble Creek. I wondered what could be politically correct about the Nisqually Chute.Enjoy the spring skiing!
Yep, that was us looking for the entrance to the Chute. I'm getting old, memory is going (but you know how that goes, right). I remembered 8800' as the elevation. We started scouting at that elevation...
Was that April 4? Not April 5? If so, we watched you from the Nisqually Chute (which wasn't sliding).We were concerned. Happy it was under control.BTW how about that huge slide down the Turtle?
Snowpack too thin for Bernard's Boulders. As it was I was stopped very suddenly by a buried rock on lower Steepness. Put a ski tip to my forehead. A little bloody.
Hi, Darryl. Haven't seen you in a while. Well I didn't lead the Saturday trip. My choice was Paradise area with the hope being the sun would have good effects on the crust. RogerF did go to Paradise o...
Lat 47deg 27min 1sec NLong 121deg 26min 17sec WElevation 3439Corey's pictures show the location. In fact, these photos show up slope terrain within 0.1 mile of the likely burial site.Publis...
Nothing complicated, Ron. Eric Feigl tells me it was named that by Dave Knutson because of its proximity to Norse (Norsk) Peak. Eric and Dave were skiing partners of Joe Firey. They were making first...
Yeah, Toby. I would not recommend the S Climb unless something changes it (like a lot of heat or new snow). Suncups, runnels, glissade trenches, and postholes, .. the works.On our ascent we spoke to a...
In reference to the last paragraph of the first message in this thread, I descended the White Salmon-Avalanche Glaciers from the summit several years ago with Max Block and Lorna Hughes and ?. It was...
Parked about a quarter mile from the TH. Hiked to about 6500' and skinned from there to the top.I used ski crampons/ice axe on the climb from the Lunch Counter to the False Summit.
Congratulations to you both on a big run! Did you climb Ulrich's or the Cascadian? I've only been on Stuart August-September, so I am curious as how you skied off the summit? That terrain without snow...
Doing a high tour, you'll be OK (unless the weather does something radical for a NW spring).
Coverage is good (2-3') about 5200', where you break into the open at the bottom of Earl. Coverage below that is mostly thin, non-existent in places in the woods on the approach and non-existent below...
Tom, I would recommend getting Earl in the next week or two. Snow is thin in the woods on the approach.
Hiked ~1 mile to the bridge at the trailhead. Continuous snow just beyond the Bean Creek/Beverly Turnpike trail split. Skinned the rest. No creek crossing as creek is bridged by avalanche debris (but...
If you saw skiers on the W side of Hawkins, that would be our party of 3. Only other people we encountered was a party of 3 snowshoers who did not go above 6500' on the SW ridge.
It was just our presence or rather our weight that did it. We were 150 vf downhill of the crown, about 400' lineal from the highest point of the crown, and the first person was about 100' from the edg...
Sounds great, Zap. You certainly had the weather working for you. Alf Skrastins and Albi Sole are lining up University of Calgary OPC (Outdoor Program Centre) trips there for next year. They were enth...
"A clever skier will often find an oasis of good snow while the rest of the party -- within a few yards of him -- are struggling with crust." Sir Arnold Lunn Always liked this observation...

Tim, are you going with a guide or on your own? The former makes it easy. Just listen to your guide. If the latter, be aware of a hoar frost layer now ~2 feet down (similar to the bed surface of the r...
Hi, Tim, Thanks for the kind thoughts. If caution is borne of experience this past year has made me more of a cautious, old man. A year ago January Larry Duff, Georgia Bakke, and Susan McKnight died i...
