Great report, adventure. Since I'm looking for a new furry buddy, Charley & Marly have put a yellow lab at the front of the list. For less spicy adventure, would descending in the vici...
Thanks Mike, another good, entertaining and informative report! Re the ridiculous crowds, I'd guess there was a large amount of overflow from the Teanaway - Blewett Pass shut down due to t...
Thank you for the tip Obi Wan, and have a fine trip south - presumably for that southern corn?
Hello Nick!We almost crossed paths. I joined a trip led by Hans S. Our plan was to head up Beverly Ck, ascend up the ridge on the northeast, then up ridge to top out at ~6700 (Bean Pk), then drop do...
Hi Zap and Jill!Great accomplishment Zap! Forest Queen will be a treat - a piece of cake. Thanks for the great photos too!Linda and Gerry
Yes! Friday 13th - no wind, blue ski, 55 degrees at top of Hyak lift. Only a handful of folks skinning & doing laps front and back. Even with warm temperatures the snow stayed fi...
Hello Larry, & Larry's sisterThanks for this and your many previous postings! You guys are the one consistent window into conditions and adventure in the Cle Elm drainage, to say nothing of...
"but our bomber avalanche control had us all turning off our beacons before dropping in" Is this a new methodology for saving on batteries ::) :'(
Hello All - weighing in on the side of break away leashes, it seems to me that whatever cable tie connection we settle on, it will need to be a compromise between the sudden loading of that forward l...
Yeah David, and fortunately they don't stick to your skins. Zap, Jill - Hope those med's are kicking in Jill, and you're on Mammoth today enjoying thos big sweeping turns through the c...
Hello JD,Great report, caught me by surprise reading down the TR's - yo, Sunburst. I followed the Chugach Aval Cntr's reports through this last cycle you described, reminded me of many...
Hello John, re old pits:1) I wouldn't use an old pit to get current stability info - weather impacts on the sidewalls ( heat transfer from sun or air temp and possible precip. or wind impacts) wi...
Interesting that the beacon read 82%. FWIW, my experience with undamaged Trackers has never shown problems with reception, even down in the 50%'s, or less. Be sure to check that particular beac...
Wow, heart-pounding stuff Amar - it's amazing the push adrenaline and abject fear can give us!! Sounds like you heli-rotated out of that hole. Thanks for sharing the trip and experience. I thi...
Hello Ron & Maddog-Great report! Looks like a bad setup for the future with ugly stepdown possibilities. Looks like about 40" then @ 5900'?Gerry
Wow, great to read an Alaskan report! Much, much more around Turnagain, check with the locals about that and the Girdwood Valley (Chugachs) or accessing the slopes above Anchorage (accessing from upp...
Howdy Zap & Jill,We're almost as disappointed as you - since we were looking forward to the stream of wonderful 'spring in the Sierra' reports we've come to expect from you! Bu...
Hello Zap & Jill,Wow, from epic powder to deep blue skys and sunshine! We've been enjoying your posting, and ongoing adventure - keep it up, and talk with you soon.Gerry and Linda
Hello Mjolner,It was great meeting you and skiing with you guys - when I meet folks in the backcountry I need to start asking if they're TAY'ers. Sunday was definately the best day with the...
