Great use of a high pressure day!
Very nice, Edgesport! We skied the Old Chute and the White River Headwall and saw your tracks below. You picked a very aesthetic line and put some great tracks in! Strong work.
Grabby wet snow with many tree bombs. The kind of snow that won't release your tails and sends you careening towards large trees. In places where there was even a dusting of fresh it...
Nice picture of the Oyster Couloir--I was wondering if it had a name. I saw that Friday when we did a similar trip up Roosevelt and ticked the Oyster off today (TR coming).
What a nice day it was! We saw some of you on our way out. We hit it early so I could be at work in Seattle by 2, but it was just soft enough to be enjoyable.A few pics:http://www.alpineevolutio...
That is looking up at Melakwa Pass and a minor summit of Chair Peak from underneath Mt Roosevelt just before skiing down to Snow Lake.
We saw you guys start up the Phantom while we were in the parking lot, but we decided to catch first chair at Alpental for an epic powder run down International before hitting the skin track. Th...
Indeed the Kautz is ripe for skiing, we accidentally went up the Turtle the night of the 7th en route to the Finger. Saw some people (probably the ones you mention) climbing up it while we were...
Here is a picture of the slide(s). It's kind of a bad picture, but...http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/-W7MrQ9U3ym2o9Con2Bq7g?feat=directlinkWe did ski back down the WS. The skiers left half...
Sunday was a gorgeous day indeed! It was nice talking with you guys below the summit. Glad you had fun despite Saturday's weather.Edit: Nice Pics!
I just reported the incident as directed by that web site. Thanks for the tip, I would not have known who to contact otherwise.
Lots of ice, but there were some nice patches too. Those of us that made it all the way up didn't gain any better turns, but got lots of practice skinning up ice. I saw a bunch of people bi...
It was good to meet a bunch of you up there! Lot's of nice turns and not too many rocks for October.Here's a few pics, there's a shot of Gorp and a few action shots of Holly.http:...
Robert--biking on the road was pure suffering and added about 4 hours to our approach time. We probably would have skied the Easton if we had realized how much work that would be... On the...
David--I only noticed a few spots with the telltale sag of a hidden crevasse. I think that the big snows in March and the the cool temps in April and May have kept the bridges solid and only the...
We watched you guys exit the coulior and heard shouts of joy as we were skinning out of the trees from the North Fork drainage. It looked like a blast!
What a great day and amazing weather to boot!Exciting Pics:http://picasaweb.google.com/petey5287/KaleetanSki22009?feat=directlinkBoring narrative:http://p-bloggg.blogspot.com/2009/02/kaleetan-peak-ski...
Randy, No we didn't use a rope, but in retrospect we probably should have. A fair bit of the slab released from above me and I was lucky not to be swept down.
CookieMonster, I had to look up the scale to refresh my memory, but I'd estimate it was SS-AS-D2-R2, maybe R3 because it ran a long way.

I was with gorp yesterday. Here are my photos: http://picasaweb.google.com/petey5287/ChairPeakCircumnavigation?feat=directlinkHere is a more detailed narrative:http://p-bloggg.blogspot.com/2009/...
The conditions were just as Scotsman described. We went all the way up to Muir and it was incredibly cold.NWAC telemetry said the temp at muir was about 17 F with average winds in the mid fortie...
