I was unaware of the new policy until just now. When I talked to patrol last season I was given the impression that their primary concern was people skinning up into Silver Basin when it was clo...

Hi Roger, thanks for the questions and concerns. This is a quick response to points 1 and 2.I was asked if I carried avy gear and I responded something along the lines of "Yes, but it is no...
Thanks for the report. I finally have a chance to get out for a few days next week and I was hoping to do some skiing in that area so this is very helpful.
Way to take advantage of the easterlies.
How do streakers do it? They just drop everything and go.

I was out that way Sunday. Continuous snow on the trail from the upper (closed) lot. Watch out for dog poop the first hundred yards. Plenty of snow in the basin.
Was just wondering the other day about that road. Thanks for the update.
Thanks for the info. Could you give an idea of the elevation and aspect of that slide?
Missed you guys but saw quite a few others on my first trip to this area. Thanks Skip and Greg and the skier and boarder I talked to. Without your input I would have spent a lot more time...

Things had locked up pretty well by the time I headed down from anvil rock around 3:30, making for loud and in the clouds turns. The bottom 1,200' or so was soft enough to carve, and the bo...
Silas, nice meeting you again. Given a little reflection I remember meeting you at a Crystal fest about five years ago, and again this spring at Alpental when I failed to see your skins that I m...
Beautiful day with beautiful conditions indeed. You early risers did an excellent job of testing stability and marking the good snow with squiggly tracks for the afternoon crowd to follow. ;)&nb...
