We were hearing hoots and hollers from the other side of the valley - figured it had to be good everywhere. So much snow - waterfall exit was in as well, though I put a big ass-mark near the bot...

I think it's very important for folks to know where Monty was found, well into one of those upper tree bands. Whether he was skinning up above or the slide hit him while he was in the trees...
As I remember, it looked pretty easily accessible to get into it from above, yeah.
Nice! Does that ribbon/couloir up to the right lead to the backside of Colchuck Balanced Rock? I remember looking down on a sweet line from just below the summit.
Nice Pete! Happy to have your partner back for a while, I imagine.
That same chubby little guy was there on Tuesday.
Skied the lower slopes of Silver on Tuesday - 4" of corny potatoes. Lots of crust in the shade but great skiing out in the sun. Luged out the snowshoe approach trail which was sporty at times,...
Thanks for the post and the inspiration to keep the TRs coming, even if they're more general at times. The NWAC cross-post idea has come up in the past - the technological solution is beyon...
Yeah, today's sun and heat ought to settle out a bunch of that gloppy exposed stuff, I hope. Beautiful day indeed!
Probably ran into you at some point - we were out with the dogs for the big pup's 11th birthday. It was a one and done for us, but better snow than expected up high.
Awesome - that's come a LONG way since we stayed in the yurt (as Zap describes), which had inadequate heat , garbage everywhere and a bunch of bear damage - the yurts had a pretty rough summer/fa...
Rolfs and the Beast. Awesome.
Great vid! So psyched to end my 33 month streak of being sidelined from the backcountry and start my first TAY streak. That really made me smile!
I'll get on it when I'm back from Penticton, Pete.
Thanks for the TR - awesome outfit. Glad nothing serious happened with the breakage, yikes!
Good thoughts Drew, thanks for sharing.
Nice Don - good to get some Kwasnowski time now that he's home.
Testing a reply here, since you've been having trouble posting text. Odd. Nice pics, looks moist-ish!
Awesome to hook up Silas, if only for the beverages, cupcakes and sausages. Zap & Jill, sorry we missed you - great weather up there, with good enough skiing to scratch the itch before the p...
Wow Jim... that's a stunning photo.
Great to meet you Jim, thanks for the impromptu photo session... :)
Great to get some turns in with the Mayor of Silver Peak! AP and Becky were happy to provide the ladiness. Good times at the Aardvark afterward, too.
Ha! The camera adds 65 pounds.
5.5-ish sounds about right - there's a lot of room to slide left or right to move past other parties, which we did to get around the WAC groups. Fun climbing - my first time up there, for a...
Couple more pics...
Awesome TR and fascinating explanation of the xenoliths, thanks Jonn. Very cool.
Not at all Kenji - photo limits are in the past, the only aim is to go for quality not quantity.Great pics, nice TR!
If we can avoid turning posts and this thread into innuendo, that would be great. Thanks.
Ouch, holy crap Silas. Glad it wasn't worse and you made it out okay. Did you at least get a little daffy-twister-spread in there?
