Awesome trip! Very cool to get all the way out to Logan in the winter. That’s deep
So awesome!!! The accidental Kautz ski is a nice touch haha
Thanks for the inspiration, that crater run is sweet! Such a unique run.
A little update on conditions from yesterday: we took the summer trail and it was melted out below 4,200', solid snow on...
Strong work! That's a lot of heavy skiing for one day. Glad you guys made it out safely and nice running into you on the summit for round two the next day!
What an amazing traverse! Beautiful photos too. The Canadians really do it bigger. Reading about epic traverses like this and the Full Coast Range Traverse is incredibly inspiring. It makes even the m...
What an awesome traverse! Golden Horn looks like the corn run of my dreams. Never seen that side of Hardy but damn it looks cool!
Interesting route around Chikamin! Very nice way to avoid all of that steep S facing terrain and probably better skiing as well.
Way to push through that catastrophic ski failure too. Never had to us...
Hell yeah that’s quite a tour of the west!
Sick!!! Wanted to ski that one for a long time but I could never motivate for the day trip! Strong work.
Damn is that Chair in the second pic? Looks so badass from that angle. Awesome traverse, very creative!
Awesome pictures and great advice on scoping out the Thunder Exit before going to the upper mountain! That thing gets crazy wind loaded and it's barely a detour to check it out.
I once had a scary ex...
I'm using a Sony RX100 Mark 6. It's small enough to fit in a pocket so I always have it on me. Good zoom for scoping lines, pop-up viewfinder for shooting in bright conditions, 4K video. It's not very...
Wow, that looks thin! I skied it late Feb a couple seasons ago and I remember the lower section being thin even at that point in the season.
Lots of beautiful shots in your blog post. Snoqualmie is t...
The hard way around - especially if you can't ski across the lake! That's a full-value circumnav.
I briefly considered this as an option for yesterday but wasn't thrilled about the lack of low elevation snow.
Hard to motivate for the hiking starts when you could just ski from the car!
Awesome pictures! Love the brushy wallowing in the first one. Sloan looks real steep from that angle.
Lane, did you move back to Washington?
I still live in SLC, came up here for Thanksgiving and I'll probably stay until Christmas. Utah is in the midst of a month-long dry spell and the snowpack i...
I went back today and didn't find any stuck cars, so no huts or jumps unfortunately. After the storm on Monday there is no way someone is getting up there with a car!
Beautiful day out there! Wonder if we crossed paths, was there a party of two right behind you when you skied off the summit? We skied the same couloir then went over to McCausland.
The road was pret...
Great TR! Skied a couple of these yesterday. Such a beautiful area. Those icy volcanic cliffs are pretty unique - haven't seen anything like that in Washington before. Reminds me of Hyalite.
Also, fo...
Love that first shot with the valley clouds at sunrise. Looks like a great trip!
The first time I did it, you could ski right across the giant gaper at the top of your photo. A few years later, you had to sidestep up the side of a serac to ski across its top. Definitely hanging ou...
Sweet photos! That Plan B descent looks too good to pass up.
Very nice! I was wondering if this would still go. Looks like you guys nailed it with the conditions.
That will be a sad day. I had no idea that the east side was continuous so recently. Do you know of other glaciers in the Cascades that flow into the valley below like this one? Maybe the Chickamin an...
Thanks for this awesome and unique report. We are very lucky to be skiing right now, Snoqualmie is a special place. Maybe I'll see you up there this week enjoying the rain corn.
With ski crampons I generally use the flat or the mid riser and set a low angle track, since that is where the crampons are most effective.
Some crampons like the Fritschi actually have risers on the...
That is a sweet route! Very imaginative. I think you can call yourself a skier.
Getting me psyched to break out the skinny skis, strong work!
Welcome to TAY, nice TR!
Surprisingly good day out there. It wasn't raining as hard as I expected and the snow was really nice rain corn except for the tree debris in the forest. Skied the Twin Lakes...
