author=Oyvind_Henningsen link=topic=21568.msg92404#msg92404 date=1312229273]excellent Charles, nothing like father and son having fun camping and skiing together !Yep (or father and daughter - I used...
Great photos, androolus! I've been up there from late April through late August, and the coverage on the Russell looks very good for this time of year. It's nice to see Cat-eye Lake not look...
It looks like another great time - congratulations on pulling it off again (and staying within the MRNP rules)! I'm sorry to have missed this. I was hoping to bring my kids this year, but we were...
Its interesting that there is so much snow there and so little at SunriseI agree. Were the winds this winter such that there was a much stronger rain shadow effect over the NE side? What I could see o...
This was a really fun trip! On the way up I wasn't so sure that the turns would be that good and was regretting bringing my joke boots and waxless (and "skinny") skis, but except for a...
A little late, but I add my "great job" as well! It looks like you picked just the right day for this trip. I've also had my eye on Lennox and this does seem like a good year to try it....
I agree with what everyone else has said about your TRs, Larry. In fact, I think I've told you the same kinds of things in person, but it's always good to get different (or at least more) vi...
Please keep your comments civil and constructive - that is the norm here.
Tomski from Colorado (334 consecutive months) and I did this same trip yesterday (July 6) and found the same conditions. The slope right below Whitman Crest was the best, the large steep roll at the b...
Randy, thanks for the direct experience report. After I posted I was thinking about the Guides and had the idea that there might be a spring transition time when they would work pretty well. I can get...
Michael, I don't have any direct experience with those Guide skis. I kind of wonder what is the point of them, however. They are pretty wide (109-78-95) and promoted for the flotation they provid...
wheelinthesky - you're Keith, right? Good to see you here! After having another great day skiing on firn spiegel I finally got motivated to learn more about it. CSAC has a good description:"...
Another congratulations, Lowell! The map and especially the spreadsheet really show what a huge undertaking this has been. Looking at the last photo, it appears that David decided to take his waxless...
Don, I didn't measure this trip but I did the same approach but to 3rd Burroughs a few years ago (http://www.turns-all-year.com/goldhome/hp34/index.html) and it measured at about 18 miles RT. The...
I skied in through Grand Park to Burroughs Mountain on Friday. No problem on the way in, when the snow was nicely frozen from overnight clear skies, but on the way out pollen accumulated and made what...
Don, that was quite an adventure! Glad you came through OK and thanks for posting about it and the lessons learned. Navigating in the forest on gentle terrain with no visible landmarks can be challeng...
Yes, that was a very nice day! I will be interested to hear how your trip yesterday went - are you going to post a TR?
Zap, let's keep trying to get together for a ski. I'll bet you had a good time with your grandson!
John, this sounds like a great trip! We were admiring the south side of Lichtenberg from Heather Ridge last Wed (there's a photo here).For photos I have some suggestions that might help. I'm...
Hey Dicey, sorry it was no longer good, and I'm not trying to rub it in, but I would be interested in a more complete description of the snow conditions you found. Mainly selfish reasons - I get...
That was a very nice day. Good snow+good snowboarders+fast motor drive digicam=too many amazing photos of huge powder plumes! (Not to ignore skier David, but skis just don't produce plumes the wa...
Yes, the entire ventilator pull out is marked with these signs. Because they mentioned towing, we didin't feel very comfortable parking there. If this is some kind of security concern, it's...
So how was the snow for turns? Still getting soft during the day or all firmed/frozen up?
If you were up there Thursday, then the date was Feb. 1, so I will change that in your original post.
Sorry that you did not find corn, but thanks for the report as it is always educational to learn how conditions were on a particular day, instead of just wondering. I guess the main factor must have b...

author=Plinko link=topic=6152.msg25487#msg25487 date=1170295275]Charles, did you make it up today? Was that you in the red jacket/white pants on tele gear? Buttery corn goodness ::)Yes, yes, and yes!...
David, thanks for the report (formal and informal). I hope tomorrow is a carbon copy of your day today.
