Your route was down West Crater Rim, under Hawkins Cliffs. You can ski down Castle Crags/Reid Headwall on the west side of that ridge. Leutholds would have to be accessed early off the sum...
$17,000. I'd do it again if I was in the same situation, but next time I will have the insurance, and my SPOT turned on! I guess I'll be hiking in the Chugach instead of flying... and dri...
Delightful. Delicious! Food for the soul... When I read your stories I always enjoy the multiple perspectives in time. I always have a soft spot for the classics. Thanks...
Thanks Dan. That's what I get for skiing the easy stuff! Still looking forward to a beer at Charlie's. Let me know if you get in the area. Remember, it's not wha...
I would be interested in knowing if anybody has had any experience with SPOT and a successful rescue claim. Thanks to all of you for your wishes and providing me with the closest thing to climbi...

Nice work guys! I think I saw you coming down through my binocs and wondered where you went when you went out of sight. I was camped in the Chev PU. I think we saw you pull in Thurs...
Dan, I spent my first evening of the summer at Cloud Cap Thursday 7/25 and saw your tracks in the last light of sunset. I missed your TR but there was little doubt in my mind they belonged to yo...
Dan, it seems like I am more amazed every TR! Your descents are awesome, but now adding incredible approaches. I was telling your story that the morning of the 25th (did you feel your ears burning?)...
I have skied around clockwise five times now since 1979- I wish it was more, and other mountains. I have heard of much shorter trips counter-clockwise. I am very interested in a descriptio...
Hey TS, I was thinking that that must have been you that kicked off the slide at about 9,000' we saw on our circumnavigation- maybe they were Not Dan's. I'd be interested in hearing so...
Patience my friend, it will come... Smart to wait on that face. It is just getting better for awhile hopefully- it has to stop dumping (at least big) soon. With you on the mountain every day, I cou...
Awesome lines Dan! I can't tell you how many times I wondered about those. That's the difference between you and I- you just do it!! Here is a photo from one of those conte...
Regarding the skunk report at Crater Rock- There must have been a north wind blowing the fumaroles down the mountain... The skunk probably thought there was a mate up there! I admit, it wa...
Incredible trip! That's what we live for!! Mt. Hood was the same conditions that day- I can't remember a better summit ski in the 32 years I know of. A couple days later The Sunday Oregon...
Dan, I met you a few hundred feet below the summit as I skied down from the top. I mentioned I had skied Sandy Headwall. I couldn't remember the year, but it was 1987. A friend of mine skied...
