Great meeting you and chatting in the skin track. Awesome day, almost too much powder... almost.Thanks to you and your crew for breaking the trail for the last 1500ft. According to my fancy-pants watc...
Nice meeting you Tyler! Fun weekend to take the skis for a walk.
Way to ruin it for all of us. Rhoadies is my secret stash! :->Viva el Karl Fardman!
Thank you for posting up and for your frankness and honesty. I know that there has been much speculation about the heuristics involved in the Stevens tragedy and I hope that when the time is right, so...
Was up there today. Little sign of your tracks, nothing on the down, hard to find on the up. I love that place. Was all alone at first and then many parties showed up, all played nice.Did you notice t...
Thanks for the video. It really captured the day and the magic of dropping into a foggy nether world. Really enjoyed spending the day with you. Wish the snow was more pow and less chalky. It was a hug...
Awesome contribution to the knowledge base around here.Much appreciated.
What do you mean by the burn? The recent burn at the top of the ridge?Is it kosher to even have a sled up there? I have never seen one, and although I can appreciate others having their fun, even if i...
Great work! That was not a rescue, that was a self-evac of the finest form. A non-preventable injury followed by the proudest form of self reliance does not constitute a rescue.
Amazing day, without a doubt, the best day of the year, although there are about 10 other days that are tied for a close 2nd. Huge thank you to Lee who lead the way and knows the place like the back o...
The pit was dug to assess stability, which of course is an ongoing process. Ski cuts were also used, plus probing of the snowpack, as was evaluation of the NWAC forecast and evaluation of the telemetr...
I think I saw you guys in the distance while skiing around Mazama Ridge. We found similiar conditions, crust was firm enough to create a groomer type surface condition so long as no hard turns were ma...
Re: Dog skiing - In Jackson Hole, one of my good friends sister is a vet in town. She patches up dogs cut up skiing all winter long 2-3 a week, sometimes more. In the summer, same stats with dogs who...
Proud!I was strutting when I did that trip in 2 full days. You guys knock it off in an afternoon!You headed down to Vertfest this weekend?
Any idea of origin and type of critter bits?Signs of struggle with bigger/faster/stronger critter?
Having been up there in winter last year, thanks to sleds, I can feel the frustration of tracked out BC after walking uphill for hours. In terms of sympathy, admittedly, there are shades of gray. For...
I wondered if you guys were TAY folks, didn't want to ask because, well, that could be a bit nerdy. If I'd known it was you I would have hit you for discount tires ;DNice day up there....
Any stability issues?I was inbounds and patrol bombed the S. Back til there were more craters than snow, did not appear to have too much move, only the very top layer in some spots.
Yes, Crystal still takes the award in my book. Every time I go there I have been treated rudely by staff, I could go on, but yet, Crystal still wins. The lifts may fall and the bar may not be safe, bu...
I would think a well worded letter from a lawyer could achieve something besides the run-around.Crystal mountain has proven time and again, they have the best terrain and the worst management of any s...
Paul- Your skis appear to be broken. They have a heel piece and the boots don't appear to have bellows. ???Hopefully you have not gone over to the darkside for good, as you have always had one of...
Ash_j, yes, weather was a factor, but only one factor. In some ways, the stage was set for the weather.Using Amar's experience as fodder for this discussion, weather would have been fatal if Amar...
Amar- first and foremost, I would like to echo the gratitude and congratulation on your survival and humble recollection of what you experienced on Mt. Rainier.Since you put it out there and others ar...
I think everyone who had ever bought a polypro shirt was up there this weekend. Did a quick trip down the N' Chute to the bridge, first time ever, much fun in so-so snow. Waiting for Corn season,...
The Slot is the winter equivalent to the South Face of the Tooth, only it looks better in pics.Like all 5 star routes in this state, if you do them at weird times you will have solitude.
Based on aspect, what makes it a wonderful winter powder stash (along with magic), makes it a curious place for corn. Not sure how/when it will corn up, with little sunlight. Perhaps the magic corn ke...
I had no idea there were so many angry K-9s.Makes me laugh.Much appreciate the edited post.A fine line between a useful post and giving away the goods.I'm sure I have crossed it, although I try n...
In defense of science, even the pseudo-snow science, it did snow between 3-7 inches, even on the front side. The magic may be that the snow covered all of the tracks in the Slot environs. Not to...
Whoa RustyKnee, Maddog is a super nice, kind person, but I think you found out how to make Maddog mad. Not good form.While neither Jim Hill nor Yodlin are secrets, just about every ski guide for the P...
Silly Rabbit, apples come from Tree, not Steve Jobs.Are you a Mac user? And if so, are there Mac folks out there who can help?
