We obviously need some snow since this TR has gone this sideways.
Mike, Thanks for the ride back to Alpental after our 3 peak traverse. We were considering skiing the slot and probably should have adjusted our plans but we still got a few good turns. Great vid...
Nice tour. We did a simular trip 5 years agohttp://www.turns-all-year.com/skiing_snowboarding/trip_reports/index.php?topic=9278.0and only recall seeing seen one other report done by Kyle Miller a year...
I thought I smelled something on the way down.

Nice pictures! Wish Monika and I had the weather and snow conditions you all had. Fun route regargless.

That is looking down toward the middle fork.
Thanks for the TR Ryan. It was nice to get out with all of you.

I do not want to make any enemies based on my opinion. I am sure they felt safe on their tour. But touring up to 5,100 feet in just about anywhere in the Commonwealth Basin will likely put you in dang...

Nice report. I found about the same conditions last weekend except for the surface hoar. It is a very fun tour when the conditions are good. The lower sections in the trees were challenging for me thi...
Glad you are OK Kyle. I had a similar experience on Sunday while trying to mt. bike Suntop Trail. After reaching the top in good weather I headed down in shorts, shirt and shoes. Within 1/2 hour it wa...
Nicely done in less than good touring conditions. Great pictures too.
I was there on the 8th and found the same conditions. Sorry, I should have posted something to warn to people stay away.
The Col is between Chair and Bryant. I did have 2 short boot tracks including to one to the col that you may have seen. There were 2 guys with a dog who showed up just as I was getting ready to...
We did it from Commonwealth but but I have gone up from Alpental and skied the south side of Mt Snoqualmie down to Cave Ride then made my way over to Gyue Peak down the Couloir and out Commonwealth. T...
It was a fun day. Thanks for going. I should say last section is not skiable. After the hourglass S-turn you will need to bail out to skiers left. I found out the hard way ;D

I got some good pictures of Chair yesterday from Snoqualmie Mt. I will try and post tonight if you are still interested. FYI there was a lot of point releases above 5500ft where it had warmed up quite...
Nice job. I ski that in early December of 06 and it is a very fun line. The approach it well worth it. On our approach we wrapped around from the SW side instead. Anyone know why it’s called the Z...
Mokika and I did a similar tour on the 31st but we skied the entire crooked and then down the Thunder Creek drainage to about 3600’ and just toured back up. Hope you were able to find our skin track...

Monkia kicked my butt yesterday.
Joe, I'm Steve's friend. We have skied and mt. biked a few times. Thanks for the distance info. We used just a map and didn't have to pull out the compass. The forest was only thick...
I wish I could but I usually have Tuesday and Wednesday off. I also have every other Friday morning off but this is not one of those Firdays.BTW does anyone know how to move this to the correct page?
Thanks for the info. As always, once up there, there are numerous lines to choose from if certain aspects are in question.
Sorry posted in wrong place. Please move or tell me how.Thanks,Dave
I was up there on the 8th and I know it is frustrating to get up at 4:30AM just to get to the park and have to wait an hour or so for the gate to open. It is what it is. The road needs to...
