Quality write up and pics! Thanks for taking the time to share your adventure with us. Awesome objective and decision making.
Thanks for the timely post. Nice pics!Seems like the low snow year (east of the crest) combined with a hot May have shortened the Stuart ski season by a couple weeks.
Awesome photos Lowell! They definitely peak my interest in a ski tour to this region. Thanks for taking the time to write up and share your trip!
Glad to hear we weren't the only ones who had to cancel plans this weekend. We attempted to start the Spearhead on May 3 and again on May 4, but patrol wouldn't allow access at Blackcomb d...
Lots of goat tracks, but there may have been some wolverine mixed in there too.
Awesome job, great timing with the weather! I'm curious why you opted to not ski the Swauth. About a week before your trip we found great conditions. Do you think the warm up around May 4 caused...
The road is dry and easily drivable to within 100 yards of the Cascade Meadows Bible Camp, where there is a muddy patch.
Nice effort, and thanks for the report!

Awesome photos, buddy! Thanks for sharing!
The creek is pretty shallow down there right now, only ankle deep. Our boots protected against wet feet fortunately.
Great photos! Thanks for sharing!
Great photos Erik! Sounds like a cool adventure. Wish I could have joined you, but I'm glad to not have to repeat that road approach. Too bad you didn't get a tow from one of the sleds that...
Nice job in getting some mid-week early morning laps! Maybe now you have a good excuse to buy some skins that can attach to both ends of your skis!
Stellar photos as usual, Radka! Thanks for taking the time to share them along with all the snow beta.
Thanks for the report, Silas!
Thanks for the TR Kam! I've been looking at that face all season, wondering when it would be safely consolidated enough to ski. Nice job tackling that one solo! When you talk about passing the be...

Nice write-up Andy! Thanks for sharing all the details including maps and directions. I also appreciate all your work on WenatcheeOutdoors and OkanogenOutdoors. Very inspiring!
Oof - 7 miles to snow! I almost headed up to Goat Rocks myself this weekend. Looks fun, but that hike would have put a damper on things. Nice view from your camp!
Nice catch, Amar! I often use Caltopo for creating .pdf map images for printing, but hadn't noticed the "check out the view" feature. That's a handy tool. I also like to use aeria...
Thanks for the report and all the photos! I love the Chiwaukums!
Awesome photos! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the report - I am looking to get up there sometime soon myself! Were you able to skin up from the trailhead, or did you have to hike the trail for awhile?
Did the screws that hold the top plate on your heel piece break? Do you recall what caused the breakage? Those look like pretty new bindings.
Thanks for sharing - great pics and an entertaining read! I checked out the full report on your blogspot site. My crew had planned on attempting GP over Memorial weekend as well, but changed plans bas...
Since most of the route-finding shenanigans happened in the dark, this video primarily highlights the fun we had in the sun. The skiing was better than I had hoped, given the recent warm weather...
Nice report and photos, Mike - and awesome trip! I wish we had stayed up there longer to join in on your adventure. The sunset photos are my favorites - great moon shot too! Thanks for taking the time...
Very creative use of the Prezi medium! Thanks for sharing.
