Thanks so much folks. I'm not sure why I hesitate to mention this (too old for this forum?), but the day the first pictures were taken was my 68th birthday. That's what I wanted to do, and s...
Thanks so much Garth, In lieu of much of a trip report, I hoped that the pictures at least gave some idea of the snowpack in the area.Larry
Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I had forgotten the feeling of community that is present among backcountry skiers. Yes Silas, Dad did teach skiing at Stevens until he was 92. I’m not sure how...
Thanks for writing the trip report Jane!This was one of those trips that illustrated something we've found over the years; you don't know unless you go. Even at 8 in the evening, I still was...

This is great Lowell!I've been auditing courses at the U just for the fun of it, and I was thinking of skiing to class... but I wondered about what to do with my skis once I got there. Where do I...

Thanks Lowell,It helps to be boarderline obsessive complsive. At least the obsessive part of it. :)I used jute cord by the way. It won't melt, stays fairly cool. You do it the same way you serv...

Thanks guys, I'll try to add a few more thoughts later today. One thing new: I finally bought a top of the line parka, the $450 sort. I've always been frugal, and had my doubts about what on...
Thanks Marcus, I did not compare the Sasse Snotel data with that from the period of record, but my feel is that above 3200 to maybe 3400 feet, the snow depth is only slightly diminished from a low av...

Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts,Larry
Marcus, here's another oddball thought that you (and maybe only you) :) will appreciate. I've experimented with pole grips a fair amount, and I've found that if you have to use on...
Oh man John, I've dreamed about that slope so many times....

Thanks for the report Clem,Maybe Jane and I will be lucky too this week. That is, if get over this labyrinthitis, brain tumor or whatever it is. :-) Larry

OK John, next Sunday I hope!Lar
Thanks Marcus!Yes, we need a consult from Amar. I wonder if he will suggest that there is no such thing as 'un-melted' water? I wonder if that's my problem? :)Larry
Thanks Jim,I thought I might add a bit about tent lights. A number of people have told me that they don't enjoy winter ski camping even though they have all the gear, because of the long period o...

Thanks A-E,Jane and I didn't take skis; it was just an early winter backpack. If you were willing to carry the skis several miles up the trail, you could find a section to ski on, but lower down...
Thanks SG,I thought I might take this opportunity to say that due to a recent death in the family, I may not be posting as much this season, and I may not be out as much as I had been in past years. B...
John, your report gives me a chance to post a link to some pics I was going to show as part of a TR that never got done from a few weeks ago. Impressive slide paths! Looks like Jon Herman and the rest...
