Looks like a great day on the Mt Rose Hwy. I was up on Pk 9561 two winters ago with my friend who lives in Crystal Bay. That run is practically in his back yard. He gets up early, puts in a lap up...
If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend this route. It puts you in a remote and seldom visited part of the park. Between Muir and Schurman, there is a very exploratory feel and scenery which...
author=cascadesfreak link=topic=4932.msg20803#msg20803 date=1150305348]Nice TR! Thanks for the approach update. Is the road still heavily-covered with fallen trees? (seemed like I was constantly weav...
We ran into half a dozen bilers on the road up to the trailhead. Later we could hear some way to the west of us, somewhere near the RR grade presumably, and then I saw two fresh tracks up around...

How quickly the snow conditions change around Tahoe! I went up Tallac two days after you were there. The top north-facing bowl had been completely wind scoured with the soft snow between t...
Surprisingly good skiing conditions! I really wasn't expecting powder, at best, I was hoping for some slushy corn. It looks like winter has finally arrived in the Cascades. It was fu...
That sounds like a fun day. Nothing beats a soak at Grover's after a long day of skiing!My wife and I were at Northstar on Friday too. She joined the hoards on the lift slopes while I laid...
Nice report. I'm headed down to Reno in two weeks and plan on checking out some of the north-facing slopes around Mt. Rose. Those are my childhood stomping grounds, though I never ventured...
I'm very envious of your weather. We'd planned to climb Nooksack Tower via the White Salmon and a traverse of the Sulphide on Memorial Day after participating in the Ski to Sea race. Inste...
And it brings back memories of some of my earliest tours on my old wooden skis with my parents. Grover's only had a single pool back in the 70s, and it was gravel bottomed!
Don't ask to borrow my skis!
Well, Brent, there was one injury: that poor little tree that you battered with your face on your head-first magic carpet ride!But it was all worth it for the top 1000 vft of primo skiing.Christ...
