The only report I remember of someone skiing the Straigh Glacier twice. (I also didn't know that's what it is called.) I love the Mt. Loop Hwy. Thanks for the post.
Super cool trip -- I love this kind of bush-whacky traverse. Makes me want to start looking at all the crazy lines I have drawn on maps over the years.... thanks for posting.
Thanks for the report!
How to post pics: below the TR there are some tabs. The one that is selected while you are entering the TR text is called 'Body'. A different one is named 'Media'. Selecting th...
Thanks so much for posting this, Mike. I'm sure it is not easy to admit 'in front' of people that you got caught, but your post is very valuable for this community. I would tour with you anytime -- th...
Thanks for the info! I don't see the NWAC observation (possibly I'm too inept to surf the web). I hear what you're saying about a large avalanche occurring on a day with a green rating....
Those cornices (and the carnage underneath them) always freak me out. Would love to have some general info about the incident. Did the cornice fail spontaneously or was it triggered?

Thanks for the kind comments; I was feeling kind of sappy and thought some of you might relate. MW88888888: I've really enjoyed your trip reports and was emulating them (poorly) here.

I'm a fish scale evangelist. I have a pair of Voile Chargers with the fish scales. I really like them, especially for low-angle deproaches. You can double pole or skate mild downhills that would...
Cool trip! I realize they are out of vogue now, but it seems like an old-school white gas stove might have some advantages for this kind of trip. Would you consider a different stove if you had to do...
Tabski: Thanks so much for the insight into your thinking and the evolution of your plans. I think this kind of discussion among the TAY readership is very valuable for those of us with less accomplis...
That looks really cool, Charlie. Here are my suggestions: 1) use a different color palette;2) put F scale on the top (set x2tics ...) (could put m on the right, too);3) animated .gif that adds the poi...
