Here's a photo from yesterday at Mt St Helens. It felt really good to be up in the mountains for the day. Skiing back down via the main gully offered a chance for me to sample the different aspec...
Way to gamble and win! Did the snow bridge over the river seem like it would stick around for a while if we don't get more snow?
Way to get after it - that's a long approach. I've skied around there a couple times in early July but never in mid-summer. The photo from May looks a lot more appealing for a skier, but I g...
Thanks for the replies. It is now definitely off-limits to hike up there from the lifts on Meadows when they are operating. The patrol is strict about it, which is understandable given the very large...
That's rad - I love to see reports from the Wallowas!
Thanks for the report! I've been wondering about the snowline on a couple of those mountains (Adams and McLoughlin), so it is nice to get some recent info. Also funny the reply about North Cascad...
Amar,Thanks as always for the detailed report. I thought about heading to Mt St Helens on Saturday but opted for some southeasterly-facing terrain on Mt Hood (white river canyon environs). It was near...
Thanks - figured there must be some better ways down. A full day to ski the backside and maybe explore Mt. Washington seems like it would be great.
Thanks for the trip report! My wife and I have done a few summer backpacking trips into the Pasayten wilderness over the years. It's neat to see someone pull off a ski journey there, no small fea...
Wow, credit to both of you guys for taking a glass-half-full approach. Those both sound like tough ordeals!
Looking good up there! That's a great time to see the Goat Rocks, before the summer hordes of hikers move in.
Awesome, thanks for the info - that's about what I was aiming for!

Just speculation, but maybe the ski belongs to the guy that took the fall last weekend?http://www.turns-all-year.com/skiing_snowboarding/trip_reports/index.php?topic=38649.0
Well done. It's freaking gorgeous out there.Thanks, for sure!I've always thought a wintertime traverse (when coverage is good down into the creek/river valleys in the range) would be a prett...
We skied the SW chutes today and the normal traverse out of the obvious gap at the bottom of the runout was pretty straightforward with a hard turn left and holding as much elevation as possible. It...
The Stevens canyon road is now open to the drainage below unicorn peak, and snow coverage is great from the road. We ended up doing a short tour up to the saddle of Castle Peak on Thursday. It was n...
Did you guys follow zigzag canyon all the way down to 6000 ft? I usually allow myself only 3-4 turns in each branch of the canyon in order to be able to traverse out to the timberline lifts, but...
Thanks for the reply - we're looking forward to checking it out!
Thanks for the report - we've never skied there but were thinking of trying it out later this week. Did the chute above snow lake require crampons/ice axe for the ascent?
Thanks for the info, it does sound like earlier may be better down there, for ski conditions and insect avoidance. The Southern Oregon Cascades mosquitoes are deserving of their own horror movie.
Thanks for the Diamond report. Considering heading down there later this spring - surprising to hear that the snow level is already that high. I figured that they had decent accumulation in those par...

Thanks for the report - that was a good read. The turns on the WyEast Face looked sublime! Also, great to hear a candid report of how things went wrong on the attempted circumnavigation, and glad yo...
Thanks for the report and photos, and way to time it right. We camped/skied up there in early June last year - those cornices along Cairn Basin looking very similar then.
Looks amazing up there - great photos. You guys really earn it on those North Cascades approaches.
Congrats on getting back at it! Probably felt really good to be back on skis after that long? Yesterday was a lot of fun on slushy snow at Meadows, but it looks more like June up there wit...
Beautiful video. Amazing that you guys can do all of that climbing after eating one egg. :)
Nicely done = that's a real haul! That's pretty dumb about the comment but that sounds atypical - most people are friendly up there. There was good corn up there today with the c...
Great photos...I can't see his/her face, but your dog looks like a clone of mine!
