I thought with all this sunny warm weather the Silver window was likely opening up. How long do you think the descent down to Lake Annette will hold. That is such a great steep descent!&nb...
Was just going to add a post to this. We lost 2 potential ski partners due to other commitments (or lack of commitment), so Gavin and I meet up at 2:30AM Monday for the same trip as you describe...
Encouraging to know that the there is still an uphill policy and it is generally acknowledged and accepted with limits. Hopefully, more ski areas will embrace the same.I have to admit, I haven't...
Maybe the best conditions I've ever been lucky enough to experience! I thought the snow was VERY stable given how new it was and how much there was - pretty rare combination of factors to g...
Charlie - Are you saying that you had to hike quite a distance from the car just to get to snow line? Is it worthwhile? Was thinking of shooting up there this weekend. If the weather...
Those are some really beautiful photos you took. Nice job and thanks for sharing. All the skiing this year is going to have to be high at this rate! 58 and heavy rain tonight...
Nothing better than a road-trip that involves a stop over to ski some lines and take a heli-ski! I'll bet you'd have loved to extend this road trip! Great write-up. I enjoy...
Looking forward to being "IN" the race in a couple of weeks. Also stoked that we are going to start getting some typical winter weather. Hope we get a decent bond to that very fi...
Some jackass always has to be a know it all; and they know they are a jackass because they start by saying "I'm going to be harsh". You should ignore all such posts, you've a...
John - Nice report. From the looks of your photos, you did a little better than we did. We were looking for North facing slopes, but found what we suspected - wind hammered slopes from the...
Love the trip report. My Dad (65 years old) has been going up to Priest lake since he was 3 years old and he and I have hiked through hordes of skeeters to to the top of both the tit and the nip...
Silas - was bummed not to meet you on Monday as Jim and I were about 2 hours ahead of you on NYE, but thankful to follow your tracks on the Kendall Circumnav. Really amazing terrain back there. Neit...
Three of us followed you guys up on Friday (the 28th). Was a stellar day out - The full moon and stars, and then the sun was out and shining from the start. We carried on beyond the notch...
Dan - I've done that ridge in the summer from Snow Lake Divide to the summit of Snoqualmie. I got into a lot of unintended 4th and 5th class scrambling. There were a couple of spots w...
I love that line. The run down to Snow Lake can get pretty wind blown - was that the concern? With the warm weather we had until 2 weeks ago, then the heavy snow, is Snow Lake rock solid t...
Lowell - Mike and I saw that you'd signed out about 15 minutes before we arrived at the Ranger station on our way in and were sorry to have missed you. We were impressed with your early tim...
author=samthaman link=topic=24861.msg105042#msg105042 date=1337703863]nice work guys, i was the exhausted solo guy you passed on the way in. Funny thing is that Mike and I bantered for about an hour a...
I love that dusk patrol objective. It has been a couple of years since I hit it. Sounds like tough conditions. Sounds like you hit the one thing you can usually count on, irritated s...
Those are special memories for the kids.
Fantastic photos - I love the trivia on the "unknown" peaks!
The other two skiers was the mystery of the night. A "source" informed us there was a party headed for the Slot; we looked forward to seeing them come out to hear about it. We di...
I've just recovered (this morning) from chasing the others on 4 laps of before work fun on Thursday morning. We had contemplated the Phantom, but given 15" of new on the telemetry, we...
We too ventured out from the lifts to skin/ski a couple of laps on Sunday. I was AMAZED by how much traffic was in the back-country. We were cautious initially given 25" fell in less than 2 day...
Chuck -- Great seeing you up there. Sounds like you made the top -- though we didn't see you the rest of the day. It was colder than it seemed judging by my frozen bladder hose that I...
Nice photo -- I hear Friday was THE day last week to be up!
Requiring people to pay for their rescue when they get in trouble in the back-country or similar adventures is a great idea. I happen to agree with it. I think judging the decisions of oth...
Bob S, Ari Lazier, and I were up there on Friday too. We too saw Amar (who did an amazing day) as we were booting up at 6000 feet. We went as high as the col between Liberty Cap and true s...
We thought that the snow actually got better lower on the mountain. Here is the theory - the snow up high is not as well consolidated since the warm temps had just started 10 days earlier, yet d...
Love the photo video -- it was inspiring. You guys seem like a very strong party -- there was some incredible terrain.
Love the video. That is great work -- gives a nice picture of overall conditions. Warm weather and rain following epic snow = really hard skiing conditions! I opted for a little cros...
