Really great photos, Radka. Please post more!
Thanks, David. Looking forward to pictures.
You can still ski from the ridge into the Humpback drainage via a finger of snow a bit down ridge. Thanks, Obi Wan Wild.
Today Mark and I followed your track out of the basin after skiing the west Twin, John. You were spot on about the sluffs - it looked like everything that was going to point release had already done s...
The whole week?! Sorry, dude...
Best birthday party ever! Thanks everyone. Great video, Carl.
Fun and creative way to finish up your 6 year academic quest. Congrats -

Get it while it's good. Easy access and hero 4-5" fluff on a very firm base. West is closed until Monday. The temps today were low enough to preserve the powder. I just have to post the firs...
Great day in the sun. Thanks for the tip Robie - the Sunbeam exit made the day.
Congrats, Zap! The season is far from over, glad to hear that you can start to enjoy it.

It was too cold to take many pictures, but here's one of Zach in a west facing slot between the trees at about 3,000'. Yesterday's ego snow has deteriorated to just excellent snow (in p...
Who could believe it could be so good so soon after the rain event of last week? A few photos. Thanks Silas and Jim-
Yep, a pretty good day. 2 more photos:
Some buds and I skied this tour both Sunday and today (thanks for the tip regarding the "money shot". Robie). What a difference in the snowpack. On Sunday we were able to keep skins on from...
Great trip report, Zap. I recall a few episodes of calf twitching "sewing machine legs" - not much fun. Bring those blue skies back north with you, please
What's the deal behind the helicopter wreck? There's a story here somewhere...
Creative use of terrain, east-siders. What was the distance/time of the skin from the road to the ridge meet-up?
Here's another view with different lighting. I sure enjoyed the outing - the sightseeing was at least as good as the turns. Thanks, Tim.
Here's some photos, John. We toured around Table Mt. on Saturday and found plenty of crust on south facing slopes. North facing slopes were still soft.
Monika, I'm available to break trail downhill any time it is needed...
Shhhhh - the Baker folk will want to come down and track it out. You might also want to try my street - 39th- into Morgan, West Seattle's Crooked Couloir.
A fine start to the powder season. For about 3 out of every 4 turns I could imagine it was mid-winter. Now instead of taking out low snow anxieties on repeatedly waxing my skis I can work on base repa...
Yep, sounds more like labyrinthitis, inflammation of the labyrinthine canals next to the ears, your "balance organ" or "gyroscope" for the brain. The nausea is a version of motion...
Yes, I went by myself. The tracks you see are from my dog chasing me downhill. I followed your tracks up high, circling around from Coleman Pinnacle to get to the top of the run.
Sorry I messed the group by a day. I think my dog and I followed your exact route the entire way on Saturday. I can't imagine walking the entire way in ski boots, Silas, my feet were sore enough...
A great day indeed. Who would have believed this snow on April 19? Snow had blown in on the north facing slopes we skied, at times seemed about 18" deep. The only instabilities we saw were on so...
Keep the reports coming, Larry. Your TRs are much more useful, entertaining, and thankfully non-judgemental compared with much of what I'm seeing lately on this forum. The wacky ultra-advanced eq...
Fabulous day guys. Thanks.
