I wish you guys good luck finding your gear. I've lost two skis in the last five years and wasn't able to find them. It can be surprising how difficult it can be to travel on ski lines wit...

Cool trip. Thanks for posting to topo map also, makes it easier to imagine.
My understanding is that "got" is used more for obtaining like "I got it" or becoming/changing states like "I got cold/tired/etc" whereas "have" is for possessi...
Thanks for that Ron, I never knew that and now hope to use it on my wife and pretend that I did. FWIW, I do correctly use "less" and "fewer", yet I often still say "got"...
Let's not forget that Alpy had every opportunity to be open today. Some might even say a moral obligation ;). That would have kept JPH away. Policies do sometimes c...
Looks like I'm quite in the minority on this one but I much prefer TRs that do include the location. The issue has been debated many times since the early days here, no need to fight old battles...
Great looking turns! Not truly important either way, but I am curious about those "spooned looking turns". Is it the local custom to spoon for pow preservation? Or is there...
Excellent! Your TRs and photos this year have been blowing my mind.One (very) minor quibble - the bird you identify as a crow is actually a raven. You can tell by the distinctive beak shap...
Curious if they are serving some purpose such as erosion control and they wouldn't want folks to take them out?
Doh! I was too late! As I was reading this I was working up my funny response but it looks like I got scooped. This is what I was going to say -"You're lucky you're in the p...
Thanks for the report.I've got an almost 1 month old little guy. We're hoping to get out there soon.
Fun TR. If it looked too too crazy to ski you guys were probably looking at the Not Slot/Snot. You can tell the slot by the "bonsai" trees over by the entrance.I haven't bee...
As of a few days ago it was still passable through the crevasses right to the far end of Palmer snowfield by winding around a few and using a couple of snowbridges.
Nice photos. I was up there last weekend as well and had a great time. I believe one of those tracks going from halfway down the hogsback is mine. Was having some boot pain so I turn...
To me, the analogy doesn't really address what I saw as the best and most important part of Sky's post.author=skykilo link=topic=10439.msg42261#msg42261 date=1214322730] Skiing is freedom,...
author=Lowell_Skoog link=topic=10439.msg42247#msg42247 date=1214288422] I love doing lots of things and I wouldn't be content to die doing most of them. Lowell, this part struck me a bit as I rea...
Ah, finally put 2 & 2 together.Tell Jeff that Corey from Alpental says hi & Happy Birthday!Did he toss any 50 footers on the trip? Just kidding of course and in fact the last time (or on...
also, if you end up doing any more editing, change the part in bold that reads "Friday and Saturday" to "Saturday and Sunday"
Well, I think that Sky's quote is taken out of context and does not represent an accurate nor complete portrayal of his "viewpoint". Just wanted to get that out there.All that sai...
I thought it was not exactly corn but more that thin layer of ice that forms from water on top of the snowpack freezing at night and then re-thawing. Am I wrong?
author=skykilo link=topic=10009.msg40357#msg40357 date=1210358811]I don't want to point any fingers or say what I would've/Amar should've done, because I hate that kind of speculative c...
Just in the interest of discussion I would agure that staying together doesn't seem that easy to me in the conditions that Amar describes. In those conditions you could actually be "togethe...
Is this......? ;) I only ask because I just noticed this and I think I may know exactly where that is and have skied it a few times. Crazy!Do you want me to not say the name (...
author=MW88888888 link=topic=8292.msg33181#msg33181 date=1196224401]Congrats on the altitude ski record! So what's the scoop, guys, how good would the skiing be in the spring? Could you get all t...
It was more of a light rain. At least it was at ~4:30am when I was coming back from work. On the way up as it was raining I was stoked, thinking how Tuesday's nice snow would be great with...
The ascent route that I feel is safest is to head up chair 1 towards Eidelwiess bowl, but then cut up lower Gunmount to above The Fan and then head up Sideslip & Kante to the top (assuming I got a...
The "common" name for the line is either Hoakly's or Hoaglys, something like that. It's a great line and fun to watch people rip it from the chair. I've only done it once but it'...
Yeah, I noticed the crust developing on sun affected slopes like Edelwiess but North Facing is still super nice, or at least it was on Tuesday. I'm sure that crust will be corn soon enough with...
Nice photo.Yeah didn't end up skiing Wednesday, I've been having back problems and strained it a bit on Tuesday. But the awesome conditions Sun-Tues have me pretty stoked. I'll hopefully b...
