The shot of the corn in the dead forest is beautiful! Thanks for sharing! How was snow coverage down low? Trying to get a sense if the road to eight mile trailhead and slopes around there would b...
Sick! way to get after the corn window! I know woods has skied the south face before. Not sure if off of that particular summit.
Sick! Way to take advantage of the window! We went up the week before and we were sketched out by the hang fire on the summit block and went for the western most line on the face instead.
Those...
Awesome Trip!! I've always thought that last leg to stevens looked no fun and that it would be mellower to just come out the Surprise lake trail but having a cabin at the end is good motivation to do...
Awesome! I went up there this spring and had a more adventurous creek crossing further up river. Glad to know there is a bridge!
Thanks for the link to the info on the Bath Lake High route Lowell. Just got back from attempting the loop but got turned around by thunderstorms. We made it to the high point East of the upper Bath l...
The discussion of the Image lake exit got me looking at the map and found that one could also stay high from image lake and go to the sulphur mountain trail as an exit to stay on the west side. Additi...
Awesome! Looks like great coverage despite the low snowpack in the North Cascades right now. Did you get any photos looking towards Cache Col, Magic, and Pelton you could share?
Looks like a great trip! Any photos looking toward cache col and Magic? Was thinking of doing the Magic S loop first week of July and/or putting up a base camp in Petlon Basin.
Any pics of the line you decided not to ski?I've been itching to get back there since doing a four-day trip starting at lake lillian and coming out that way. Camping high on Lemah and ticking off...
I've been thinking about if it's worth it to do the public service of shoveling out that snow wall.Ruth is awesome! I've always wanted to ski that Chilliwack amphitheater. I usually do...
Did y'all encounter the freezing fog crust layer on your tour?
Myself and several friends skied from pt 5566 NW of granite mt to alpental that same day. The crust existed throughout the day but was the least prevalent (quite enjoyable skiing) high on our first de...
Video of the adventure with more pics at the end here: http://thesnowtroopers.com/2017/hyak-wa-silver-peak-to-zipper-chute/Really surprisingly fun skiing off the summit of Silver Peak! Zipper chute wa...
Hahahaha sounds like you ran into Woods! Old guy with a big beard on a splitboard?
Still have not skied, but went up Tomyhoi yesterday and found smooth soft snow at 7k!
I'm curious if you did any hand shears what the results were like. Was thinking today that I need to get out into safe terrain on high avy days to dig around and see what my the results of my has...
Awesome! That's been at the top of my list for the snoqualmie area especially after 2 attempts!
I had a similar experience skiing on the SW side of Baker on Saturday. everything West facing was totally locked up and shiny. While traversing above a rollover to reach a south face that would be ski...
I can't speak for Alpental but sunny slopes at baker were moving down to the crust layer and propogating fairly wide all day. Tomorrow will be sketch in the North.
How was the snow on south facing slopes? Corning up?
That was our skintrack up the gully. It should be in for a bit longer. The commonwealth easy to skin from the road and should be for a while.The snow walls above the creek at the bridge to go to Red a...
Thanks for the conditions update! How far could you poke your pole into the snow at the top? was there any sort of crust on south slopes?
I think those dots on top of the North Face are Pat and I. We took a couple turns into the north face and found wind affected snow that appeared to persist for at least the first third of the line. We...
Hell yeah!
Hell yeah! A true Cascadian adventure!
Awesome! had made plans to the same trip that weekend but decided to put it off until there was more daylight and better snow. Glad you got to enjoy the solitude and the views. thanks for the pics.
We're you guys gonna boot up or go around?
That's great to hear Scott! Thanks for extending the invitation and leading the way! Linked below is my video and write up from the trip http://thesnowtroopers.com/2013/bandit-peak-wa-blackhole-c...
Spied that line last June and thought it would make a good overnight trip, way to get it in a day!
