Wow! Glad you guys made it out safely. Since it was St. Patrick's Day, you must have been wearing some green to be so lucky?
Thanks for a well written TR and great photos. It nice to see Diamond from a different perspective.
looking good on hood
Thanks for the report and welcome to Oregon.
Fan-tam-stic.
Nice, Matt. Love the shot of the Reid glacier. We're headed up tomorrow to get our Sept. ski.Should be back in time to watch the Ducks beat LSU (fingers crossed)
Nice photos, Matt. Loved the shot of the volcanoes stretching as far as the eye could see.
Glad to hear you guys found some good snow. I'm looking forward to corn season up there.We did a few laps at the Pass and enjoyed some good pow Friday night and Saturday morning.
Nice pictures, Matt. That north side of Cone sure is hard to resist. One of these days...

Nice pics, Matt. And good work on the splitter project. Glad to hear that it worked well for you.We went up in the afternoon on Saturday and got some freshies, too. Your tracks must have been covered...
Great photos. Thanks for sharing them. When you first posted about your trip I wasn't sure how you were getting all your gear on the bike. Now I know. Quite an adventure....

It appears you had an electrifying experience. Glad it wasn't too shocking.Is the road opened to the Devil's Lake Trailhead?
PowderBluebirdBachelorJuneHard to believe, but you've got the pix to prove it...Good work Matt
Great photos and descriptions from McLoughlin. Thanks for the recon photos, too. Glad to hear that you had a good trip south
Way to go Matt! Great picture of the face shot.
Went up Sunday (10/14) and I was also pleasantly surprised how conditions had improved with the snow from the last few weeks. I made it to ~9,000 feet before turning around and skiing. The Palmer sno...
Nice pictures; I decided to do the SnowDome shuffle on Saturday (the 14th) and the pictures were helpful. Only saw a few other folks but the butterflies are still up there by the thousands (millions?)...
Nice pics! Did you leave from the Whitewater TH? Having gotten lost up there this weekend, I was wondering where you got the GPS waypoints?
Yes, it is in Southern Oregon. Mt. McLoughlin is east of Medford on Hwy 140. Bailey is just north of Crater Lake NP.
Very nice photos. Thanks for sharing!
It was your pictures of the Palmer "glacier" that convinced us to head south!
Dagnabbit! I just knew that would happen. We're planning on heading back in August with people who are "motivated" (i.e. in shape). Think it'll still be good then?
Yes, skilarke; the trailhead for the The Twins is on the right side of the Waldo Lake road, maybe two (?) miles from the junction with Hwy 58. The trail head sign was vandalized and is lying on the si...
Good report. I was slower than you- made it to the top of the chutes by 12:30. They were still very nice. It was my first time on the chutes and I was definitely impressed. I also enjoyed the 1st pitc...
Yes, the road to the climbers bivouac is open. Even the pit toilets were unlocked.
