We followed your tracks from Sharkfin Col to Moraine Lake. I figured we were a couple of days behind you based on the condition of the tracks. It made for easier route finding. Way t...

That would have been incredible to see and terrifying to be below. I'm thankful they made it out ok and shared the observation.
Valley.
That sounds like the remains of the slide that happened Saturday morning that resulted in a full burial and 2 partial burials. NWAC put a grainy picture up on instagram, I have one taken during...
Just to fact check myself I played a bit with the link below:http://avalanche.state.co.us/accidents/statistics-and-reporting/At first the numbers look like the skiers are getting into avalanches more...

As someone who has blown out a knee by landing in a firm traverse line where there shouldn't have been one (as witnessed by Hop) I'm a bit sensitive to skin tracks in places where I might be...
That skin track is exactly where I found the best turns last Saturday and Sunday, what an unfortunate spot to put it.
Typically my touring partner opens the 8s and I close them.
Krissy was having a tough time finding current road and snow conditions before she headed out Tuesday so it only seemed right to put up info on what they found out there. Glad you liked her stor...
I realized that I wasn't very clear when I was typing for Krissy, I was not along for this adventure, I had to be at work. It was Krissy and Maria out for the day on Shuksan. :D
Nicely done! Sorry I didn't reply to your PM sooner earlier, I could have warned you about the sno-park at GCR too.
There isn't much point in pushing through the washout as it's only a 5 minute walk to where the road is blocked by a wet slide from the washout. It looks like some red paint was left b...
RunningClouds - I sent you a PM, I didn't want to take away from your TR.

I was on Eldorado on Saturday and went through the talus in the dark in both directions. We found the bridging to be good for us but it looked like a lot of the tracks that were from midday were...
I saw your car parked by the gate as we left from the Eldorado TH Saturday night, I was wondering where that went. Thanks for sharing!
author=runningclouds link=topic=33505.msg138701#msg138701 date=1422394117]the navy danger moderate.Is this an assumption based on the open water on the lakes? ;D
I like your future reporting technique, filing a TR for Dec 21 on Dec 19!
I second the warning on the ice crossings. I got damp toes when I punched through the slush.
You might have been a bit hasty in your retreat, we took a casual start and brought steel crampons for the water ice so it was all good fun. We turned around at the top of Heliotrope around 1pm...
Those were the good days. :DI have fond memories of hiking to the top of Table with my dad circa 1994 and riding down to Bagley and snoeshoeing back to the parking lot and thinking it was a big day!&n...
