We got some good coverage on Sunday morning... and heard all that new snow (on top of ice) warmed up and turned to slide fodder after we left.
Mapped GPS data...The green line shows the track my buddy and I took towards Broken Top before encountering the 'Ice Dome' (the blue pin)... and the blue polygon shows some good bowls to the...

Looks like a great run... nice video as well!
Oh, probably about 2.5 hours with a 15 minute stop-over in the Tilly Jane hut on the way up.Hope that helps...

Left Portland around 5:15am... arrived at Cloud Cap around 7am. Left campground soon after and walkedalong the ridge on dirt and scree for about 45 minutes. At the cairn, dropped down onto terminus...

I was also in that area that day... sketch city:http://www.turns-all-year.com/skiing_snowboarding/trip_reports/index.php?topic=14595
No worries... judging is completely acceptable in this case.I learned quite a few lessons that day.
Where is cement basin?
