How did fortune mountain look? Still snow or bony there too?
When did they rename Big Chief to Kehr's Chair? Lame.
Thanks Glenn...that's what I meant...the nw slope that empties into bean basin. I'm hoping I can still cross the creek there where the upper basin opens up.
How does the SW face of Earl peak look? Does it still have snow?
It's funny. I've skied that little patch on the flett when it looked like that...200 foot long patch of snow...with ice all around...but that was in September. The middle Russell looks like...
I wonder if it will still be skiable on July4th...I suppose by then the whole section from the summit to disappointment may be barren pumice. I may need to bring a bear canister for my socks and shoes...
Mostly cloudy

Whoa are you saying the ranger opened the gate just for you and then closed it again? The rest of us had to wait for 9am.
Jeesh....it took me awhile to figure out that this topic used some damned euro date ordering.
Last picture is SE toward stafford creek. I added a few more photos to that flickr album showing navaho and miller. No evidence of any major or even minor slide activity...except that little bit of co...
Stupid question: Since the road closed 12/3, how did you get there? Sno-mo or chopper or just a really long approach? :)
At 7:45am, the NE facing slopes in the main bowl were a little soft, but still fun and fast. No sticky and not suncupped on the steeps....in the trees was a different story of course...that reminds me...
Serac? Definitely needed to boot it 30 feet to gain admission.

I don't suppose you took any pictures of the north ridge. Is it still covered in snow or would it be possible climb right now (well really in a month)?
Damn....I was hoping to do something in the blackcomb BC on May 7th...but now I see the area doesn't open until 10am now...and that the glacier express and T-bar might not be open. Damn.And of co...
Wow....that groomed teanaway road is amazing. Is that normal? Do they use a fancy grooming cat? It doesn't look like a sno-mobile road at all. It looks like a nice place for XC skiing. I th...
Where did you park? In the little pull out on the south side of the road, just west of the tunnel fan and the old parking area that has signs prohibiting parking?
It looks like SAR has dug out their car in the parking lot. Very Nice Service.I like the following quote from the komo news story, "...powder that is chest deep in some places"--Yeehaw
I also enjoyed the silver peak highmark park on Sunday....via the hyak road slog. Returned via nordic pass and got lost, caught between various uncrossable streams. I need to go back armed with 100 bl...

Good that you were wearing orange then.
Where is squak mtn? Obviously not in Issaquah.
mmmmmm.....bacon!!!!!!
Thanks for the skin tracks. And thanks for the photos...I didn't bring a camera. So I guess I'm a skin track and a photo poacher. Woohoo.When I followed your skin track on Sunday, I kept exp...

How did she get there? How old? Any action photos?
Nice egg mcmuffin shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SPICOLI, thanks for triggering the slide. Glad I wasn't the one to do it and glad it was a remote trigger. Though next time, please make the whole slope slide. The snow underneath the slide would...
