Did you guys head straight up from the hairpin? We were up there Sunday and it was not easy skinning or riding. We pulled the plug before getting to the top of Union, but it sounds like you found dece...
Nope. No lost camera this tour. That makes three tours in a row without loosing a camera!!!! Just lazy and left it at home. Gilbert might have a few pics though.
Way to get after it!! Christopher rips it too!! We were also up there on Saturday and could not believe how great the snow was! Perfect timing for this trip!My wife is still pregnant and I'm alre...
It was great meeting you Haggis!We didn't follow the skin track as closely as we should have and ended up in the drainage. We had to boot out for awhile before we strapped on the boards again.&nb...
author=Rusty Knees link=topic=11770.msg48944#msg48944 date=1231137682]Dan, did you find your camera up there? ;)Ha! Thanks for reminding me Don!!! My buddy Chris reminded me many times yesterday too!...
We must have seen you guys in the parking lot. Not a lot of people at Yodelin today.Yeah, that killer tree was a little weird. Did it start the fire at the top or is it wanted for a murder?The Snow wa...
Okay, maybe cold was an understatement. It was really really cold!!Glad we departed earlier, because it doesn't sound like it got any better later in the day. Interesting thing is that the teleme...
Yeah, those crystals were almost big enough to ski. Very cool formations, especially 10mm away from them! God I love macro photography!Skierlyles, I tried to go slow enough for you to pass me, but cra...
It was a quite a party up there at Camp Muir!!! Beautiful day to be on the mountain.More pics here from our much smaller group.
We had perfect timing for that visit to the Sedro Wooley DQ. A few minutes later and the bridge between reality and that DQ might have melted out! ;)
Here are some more pics from the trip. Great day for a ski summit. Thanks to travertine for putting together the trip. Great to be sleeping under a full moon. It was great meeting everyone and a...
Nice report bobs. We are heading up there this weekend, along with many others I would guess. Were you able to skin from where you parked up to Cold Springs? How long did it take to get to the trailhe...
The routefinding was a little tough in the dark. There is some great terrain up at the top. I wonder how safe it is in the winter months.
Robie, Ron J ,Mad Dog ,Jen, JW,Darryl and Chuck it was good to see you all in the parking lot. Hopefully you found some good cornices, I mean crevasses, to lower us into. That snow was very weird. Sti...
Ha! One lap and home by 8:30. Traffic sucked since I couldn't use the HOV lane this time.Don, thanks for looking for my camera. I got a new one, but I always seem to forget it at home.
Way to get after it Don!!! Not sure I could do 10,000 vert in 3 days!!!
I'm a photoshop guy too, so I figured you might have used it to "enhance" Chris' riding abilities. It's all about smoke and mirrors, right?!! ;D
Don, you sure are making Chris look pretty good. What kind of deal have you guys worked out? ;D
Wow! Great shot Don! Send more, send more!!!It was good to meet you guys too!
Wow, 6 out of the last 7 days on the board! That's pretty good. We will go up there again very soon! Maybe an overnighter...
Wow, glad to hear that your friend was okay. Those tree wells are certainly nasty beasts. Thanks for the tr.
Thanks for the condolences Don. I'm gonna miss that camera too since I will only be able to take mental pictures for a while...
"haha....am i complaining about the snow?? hardly...it was soft and basically bottomless..."...so bottomless that I lost my camera in the deep turns. Oh well. I consider it a sacrifice...
I believe the reports are saying three guys on snowboards are missing. They intended to return Sunday evening and have not been heard from. One of the missing guys is the brother of my wifes co-worker...
Great day indeed!Sunshine and blue sky. Almost no wind. A few equipment malfunctions, but nothing a beer can't fix.Here are a few more pics.
It was great to meet everyone in the party! The scones and bottomless coffee in Longmire really made the trip extra special!!Pretty good day overall for being October 21!!!Thanks Again Rusty Knees!!
