RossMac, here is a grainy photo of the slab you kicked off (I think that's the one you mentioned). Thanks -- your picture is the one that triggered when one of our party was skiing about 20 feet...
Also did a lap on the backside after riding lifts on the front for much of the morning. Remotely triggered a 1 1/2 foot crown on a convex face under the power lines near Gemini. Skiing was heavy...
Great post and trip. Nice to know of a quieter alternative on St Helens.
We were responsible for some of those tracks from the S. Ridge, doing labs from our Yodelin cabin on both Saturday and Sunday. As you found, surprisingly nice conditions. Beautiful skiing in boot deep...
Thanks for beta. My favorite backyard hill
Nice report. Did the Birthday Tour today with Carter, Matt and Kevin. Beautiful views, mixed snow. A few pictures. http://rossmac.smugmug.com/Skiing/Birthday-Tour-June-2012/233...
very impressive! Great TR and photos.
Great day on the mountain. Glad that the chute and lower glacier skied well. Our group decided to do the basic Muir Snowfield. Skiing was better than expected, the weather mostly sunny and...
Great report!
Fascinating history. We actually own the closest cabin to the one where the fatalities occurred. We hired Garyback when we bought it to confirm that it was the first safe lot. Still very e...
sweet photos
A few pictures here. http://rossmac.smugmug.com/Skiing/Sahale-July-2010/12899409_ehGxb#931664855_8xH4T
Thanks for the beta -- the diagonal ramp to the avalanche apron is mostly still there, although it won't last much longer. Great trip up Sahale!
Second all the accolades -- great report and very inspirational. Need to get back there!
Great report, Andy. Quite an epic!
I was the unnamed TAYer getting the late start -- beautiful day. I managed to crampon up to the little pinnacle before 5 and get back to the car before dark. Some photos here. http://rossmac.smugmu...
Also did a quick blitz up the ridge this afternoon (Sunday). Probably was a half hour late on the snow, since I didn't top out until 4:45, so pretty bumpy and hard. But incredibly bea...
Lowell -- Great TR (as always). I friend and I did most of the same traverse on foot in late June many years ago -- one of the nicest high traverses I have done. Didn't see a soul except fo...
Yep -- intense pollen; will have to get it off the skis before the next trip.Nice to meet you as well, Nick
Cool -- great meeting you, too, Tom.
Nice trip -- thanks for responding to the post, Telemon. I have added links to more photos here. http://rossmac.smugmug.com/gallery/4646399_RFiLJ#274333632. I will have to get remedial ins...
Great report, great pictures -- sure need to get back up to the pass soon. Thanks for sharing.
Likewise == and I especially appreciated your patience with my ice ball laden dog. Hope we can do it again
We were also up there on Saturday -- gorgeous day. I think getting in the chute a little earlier and sticking to the less sun exposed (west facing) side paid dividends with better snow -- even s...
As promised, I am trying to add some links to pictures. Gorgeous country. http://rossmac.smugmug.com/gallery/533540/1
Zap -- Sounds like conditions are great. So, it looks like the access is good for LeMark col and surrounding areas? We are planning to start a trip down there next Friday. Say hi to...
Zap -- thanks for the Sierra TR's and Big Thoughts. I am planning a trip down that way from May 5 -- 11 -- am thinking probably Evolution or Rock Creek. I am assuming with the heavy snowpa...
sounds excellent. which one is moonlight bowl?
Thanks for including me in the tour -- I thought the north face powder was particularly sweet. The exit out Nason Creek to Yodelin is pretty reasonable in most snow conditions, but sorry if it w...
