Inspiring, as always. Can't imagine why your knees would be creaky.
Wow, that's one helluva twofer! Well played. I appreciate your cautionary words on attempting the CH. Three of us climbed the N Ridge several years ago with the idea of skiing down the Hea...
Thanks for the report. I have been told that I skied the Pilchuck area with my dad as a youngin. Can't claim to remember it. It's been long enough since I toured up there that I can barely remember. I...
Winning!
We turned the corner right around 3k where the angle eases up. This involved some scrappy tree skiing. Might be better to drop a little further.
Saw you over there from the bench N of Chair Pk Lake. It must have been during your "existential crisis" as you were static for a time. We speculated on the discussion that was going on. Wish I had ta...
Using a GPS app on my phone hasn't diminished my ability to get lost that much,
Civil, thoughtful discourse on a divisive issue?! Pinch me. What would happen if such a thing caught on?
Thanks to all of you for restoring some faith, and especially to Kyle for providing abundant i...
That first photo: been there, done that
It's definitely "on"
Crazy, amazing! Thanks
Thanks Kamtron! This area has gone to the top of my short list. What is the gate/road status coming in from the NW?
Wow, super inspired! Any chance you could post a map with your route?
That's a beautiful line that looks skiable by ordinary mortal types. Question: I have noticed in the photos in many TRs that people are using what looks like extra-long ski poles on the descent. What'...
Will my skins work for that?
Sooooo good! Those squigglies on the White Salmon were sublime. It's been too long since I did that tour. Thanks for the stoke as I imagine all the beautiful snow up that way turning to soggy mank.
Someday I want to ski the Roman Wall in conditions like that.
Great to see a Whitehorse TR. The one time in 4 or 5 attempts that I was successful in skiing that beast was May 1, 2008. The key was having the aptly named Snow Gulch filled with avy debris. This all...
Risk assessment in the mountains is an inexact science.
Inspired! Thanks for taking us along.
Strong work and beautiful pics. I have done that tour 3 times and never summited. Next time . . . I know what you mean about the climb out of the White Salmon drainage to the ski area. If...
This reminds me of a too early in the season tour on Jim Hill a few years ago. We went up via Lanham Lake and found it so heinous in low snow conditions that we decided to descend via Henry Creek. "Co...
I have to say, often the antics people perform to get late fall turns seem a bit contrived. This, on the other hand, was beautiful.
Nice one! I love Gothic Basin. have been up there many times but never thought to bring skis. I'm thinking about it now.
Of course, there's more than one way to skin a Cat., but some are better than others.
Wow! I'm going to create a gofundme so I can do that. Can I count on y'all to help a poor old geezer go heli skiiing?
That's helpful. thanksAfter this next rain event, it should be primo
Well, now that I've seen the pictures. . .Did you get any pics looking up towards NY Gulley?
Thanks for the beta, but I don't think anyone is going to be doing it soon after that report.
That is exceptionally cool!
