Nice meeting you up there Cam. Glad we could help out. Some nice looking turns you were laying down up there. Was a great day!
Glad we could help with the shuttle, would have hated to break Amar's string. :) Actually, I'm sure he would have hitchhiked it knowing how great the conditions were.
I half expected to run into you up there on Saturday Charles. We had the Crest to ourselves on Saturday but ran into lots of climbers and skiers from Meany on down. The entire Mod Squad w...
Thanks to the wet summer got to see this one for about 5 minutes this summer in the Olympics...
We pushed on up to Muir through the wind, it really wasn't that bad. At least it didn't feel as cold as it was. The skiing was pretty good, you just had to turn aroun...
I took this picture through a scope from our house in Shelton Saturday morning. Tons of snow up there. Look how plastered the trees on the summer trail side are.Note the gully to the right (skie...
I've been out of the "loop" for a while, but wanted to check in. Nice pics Ron! Glad to see you're out and about. Do you have a trip report from this years Hood trip? ...
What a difference a day can make! It must have dumped on Ellinor all day Wednesday. We climbed it Friday morning, and found 10-12 inches of powder on top of the old crust. It was wel...
thanks! i'm amazed at my Canon's ability to shoot directly into the sun, and expose everything right. I'd highly recommend it. It also starts fast, and is not too much of a battery hog, l...
I'm going to break the picture rules once, since i figured out how to do this. I liked this picture from Sunday, nearing the saddle on Unicorn. It was blowing, cold, and sunny, and this picture...
I think Foss was our original plan, if there was one, and it had tracks all over it. we came back too late to do anything extra. we skiied right back down the main gully from Unicorn. we managed to...
hey ron,hope we're not the poachers you're referring to. i didn't know where we were going til we got there. we ended up getting away from it all over on Unicorn. The lower chute was...
I think you summed up the snow conditions quite nicely. It was probably the warmest day I've ever had up there in January. Sat around Muir for an hour and a half, and actually got hot once...
well, as soon as I posted that last sentence, another friend called and wants to go tomorrow (friday). So I guess I'll do it again, but it better start snowing, I don't want to do this every week.
yeah Robie, it does run out soon, but I had to make the best of a "bad" situation yesterday. As for the conditions up there yesterday, right above PanPt, it warmed up enough in the aft...
James,Would you elaborate on that 25lb. packs contents? That's an amazing # for a trip like that. If I was doing that trip in the spring, i'd probably have 35 or 40lbs. I must be doi...
