Reviewing the photo a second time, you are correct. 9 on that track. all congregated towards the top. I guess it wasn't one group. Again, Herman was just as bad.
That skin track was bad, agreed, but I think the tracks on Herman were even worse. At least with this track this group who decided to do it were basically putting only themselves at risk. I'm not...
One thing I found interesting... with the warming around 1/2pm, the Black Diamond Glop Stopper actually works to keep the snow from sticking to your skins. Anyone have other solutions?
Turns were really nice even in the sunny aspects. Overall snow seemed to have bonded well. We did set off a couple small wind slabs along north facing ridges (maybe 10 cm in depth and 3 meters in widt...
Also curious, when snow is so localized like it was based on wind transport, how good is pit digging really? Wouldn't it just skew your perception if you're skiing all different aspects?

Thanks Dustin Kingman for the pic!
A hint of sarcasm? Our group was 4 splitboarders and 1 skier. If I was actually to place blame on the skin trail... which is lame to do anyway, it was because of beginners and the melting/freezing. It...
Our touring group got up to Chinook Pass around 9 am. We scrapped our original plan to try and attack the Sheep Lake Couloir due to very minimal coverage on southern facing slopes (not sure why we tho...
Looking good Jason! Surprised people boot packed that hard surface. This only validates I gotta get crampons for my Karakorams.
Beautiful day. Most dangerous part? The death march up the icy asphalt in the morning.
We got the slot the day before you all. I just finished up a video. TASTY.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HHHjXwJxwk
