You got the goods right on time! Thanks for all the avy obs.
Thanks for the really nice report and photos. Yes, it's fabulous terrain. I'd love to ski it for a week sometime. Given your short time there, your list of tours says you got after it!
I'm glad you had a good time up there, except of course for the "Sultan Shuffle" on Sunday evening. It's all too easy to underestimate the chill when riding on a snowmobile or sled...

My pleasure, ron j, volunteering comes with nice benefits. 8) And thanks for moving this post up. You can delete the reference post with the same title.
Phil, that's the direction Canada has gone with their training, as I understand it: divide recreational and career professional training.Speaking of Canada, Rusty, yes that is indeed Peter holdin...
Glad to hear it Phil. I took Avy I this year for the 3rd time. It makes more sense each time. I took a class from Northwest Mountain School once, it was fun. Check out the "Going Deep" serie...
Right, Andrew, when the ski tracks look like 2 drunken snowboarders riding together, that's me skiing the fog, wide stance, trying to figure out which way's up! Notice I'm not featured...
Thanks for the photos and reminder of Idaho's blue sky. I've been thinkin' of going back there this season.
Your photos are seriously useful info for a trip I'm planning. Thank you so much.
3 notes:1. Chains (or socks) can be required for 4wd's. It's rare, but could go into effect while you're at Paradise, stranding you there. The most the rangers will do for you then is t...
Correct vogtski, and thanks for noting that. Traffic was restricted to those searching for a missing snowshoer. I posted about the snow conditions we saw, because the NRCS/NWAC weather station had bee...
Short video from Friday at Stevens Pass. Glad we went!I didn't notice any surface hoar frost. The (probably rain) crust was scoured in some places, built up with wind slab in others, but mostly i...
Norseman, I hear you. It'd be nice if they kept it open 24/7. Anyone know, are they still planning to repave that road in 2015-2016? It got a "no impact" finding 2 years ago. That was b...
Good point drescj. Better communication with the public about expected opening times would make a big difference. Twitter is ok, although once I'm in the Park I no longer get internet. I think th...
Good for you guys. I'm glad you found any snow to stand those poles in. Hope you did a snow dance up on the ridge.
Nice, John! I took in those endless views from the lift tops at Stevens all day Friday, wishing I'd made B/C plans instead.
What range?
Tia needs snowshoes! We (Don, Jeff) were up north of US2 with 2' of powder accumulated in the preceding 3-4 days. The trees between 4k and 5k were sweet, even after the sun started trashing the o...
That day 4 of us skied Mazama Ridge from Narada Falls to Paradise as part of a ski patrol group. Given the gloomy danger rose for that weekend, we avoided steeper runs and descended from 5800' at...
