Great trip report, thanks for taking the time to post it. Well written with stunning photos.
Our crew was a fair bit east of you in the Selkirks in, shall we say, more pedestrian terrain. However, we...
#2 is a beautiful photo, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for taking the time to post the information!
😔Mike, thanks for the report. What do we call in it now, the Spider Couloir? It joins the list of glaciers that aren't glaciers...Crescent, Inter, Unicorn, Lyman, Lynch, Sarvant, Conrad.
Thanks for the trip report. I honestly wouldn't have thought to do the Inter glacier this late in the season but hats off to you for hoofing in up there and getting some turns. Is there a climbers boo...
Wow! Strong work, gentlemen.
My wife was snowshoeing in the Pipe Creek area of Blewett on Friday and stomped into whoomphing and shooting cracks. It's spooky out there.
The Cascade Backcountry Alliance blog post (linked above) is well written and raises lots of interesting questions and concerns about MRNP's favored approach to solving the summer parking problem. The...
Robert, I hope so. If my memory is still good, Naches Peak is the first "bigger" objective I did on skis.
Nice report, thanks for sharing. Seeing the angle of the trees growing in relation to the hillside shows just how steep the couloir is. Oof dah!
First photo: That moment when my normally gung-ho spouse looses her enthusiasm for touring.
860 people have signed the petition as of this morning. Let's keep it rolling!
There has to be folks other than backcountry skiers that are frustrated and disappointed in the closure. What about all the businesses in Ashford, Morton and Packwood - the cabins, shops and restauran...
Any sharks?
Banshee Peak? That is one long hike to get your Oct. turns. What aspect do you ski? Do you get onto the Sarvant Glacier?
...if you make turns the first week of November, have your surgery on the 9th, take 7 weeks to recover, present your "patient wife" with note from your doctor, make turns again on December 31st, then...
Tried to avert my eyes, but it was too late. Mooned!
Charlie the Dog is looking wistful. Might be the frozen water dish 😂
Jeezpers, did you ski that choke in those trees? All the waitstaff must be out skiing...the table aren't even cleared for après ski
I went up last year on March 31st, which was the last weekend before permits were required. I estimated there were 800 people on the mountain that day. Cars were parked almost 2 miles down the road fr...
How were the crowds?
At the end of the video you provided a bit of amusement for the group of backcountry skiers. 😂
Stunning images and hats off to a major one-day commitment to the backcountry.
Like timgibson11, I've backpacked the PCT through that area and looked longingly at those peaks. The 20 miles and 11K wi...
Poor thing, the bird not you...you got the goods.
Jeeberz! Awe-inspiring effort, superb photography and a well-told tale. Thank you for taking what must have been buckets of time to put together a report and sharing it with us mere mortals.&nbs...
Your photo of "skiing the south face of Wallaby" hits on all cylinders...just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
"It aint much, but its honest work"
Haha, I like that. It describes much of spring skiing in the Cascades, especially Plan B fall-backs.
A partner and I skied St. Helens on Saturday Mar. 27th. Like you experienced, the conditions were very nice for climbing and skiing, although ski crampons were a must early in the morning. Because of...
Well, at least you don't have to wonder about it from afar anymore, 😂 (Nice work, tho).
Did you start skinning from the Salmon la Sac Sno-Park? Straight up skin track, I see...nice! Kick turns are a sign of weakness.
