Myself, I found great skiing above 6k ft, exept on steeper sun exposed slopes.
I skied Snowgrass flats to Johnson Pk and back. The difficulties on the trail getting to Goat Lk have probably mel...
We ran across some of your tracks on our way back from Panhandle Gap and Indian bar where we camped for 2 nights. Mystery solved!
I think your party was more fit.By ski backpacking, do you mean ski touring?My party of four, five yrs ago, 3min+ slideshowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ6KIWvjaagLooking fwd to some traverses when...
Nice pics, good beta.On Sat. we got only about half a dozen turns down from Knapsak Pass. Camped. Be prepared to walk most of the way up to below Feltt Gl, the snow fingers are melting *fa...
Right, great ski down to White Rock Lakes.Our best day was when we met you. We skiied from above Yang Yang Lks to Cub Lk. The Cub basin was filled w/ folks bagging summits.Tired, and not w...
Beta: Lots of walking w/ skis on pack or in hand, but lots of looong runs too.If you decide to choose between a rope or a helmet, go w/ the helmet. Many of the visible slots are less than...
We will get our longer trip and report in later.So, do be clear, you camped above Cub Lk and at Rimrock Lk?I'm impressed w/ your time, esp. considering you had to walk or skin *up* long traverses...
Look at those temps at Muir!Mazama Ridge and regular rt in the Tatoosh was great Sunday.Then it rained.
RE: CANISTER STOVE.Sounds like a rare mechanical failure. One thing I like about them is so few parts that can fail.REM: PV=nRTThe reason canister stoves work in the cold at altitude, but not co...
Nice pics! Cool route!How skiable was the snow at low elevations, esp on White R Rd and WA-410?
author=Robie link=topic=37302.msg151269#msg151269 date=1481774383]musta been cold !Too cold to stand around and make a sandwich.Robie - when are we going to go skiing again?
What a spectacular trip. It was realy nice having the entire N side to ourselves.Fantastic snow untill it softened up on Sun. after noon on the S side.Thanks David for putting together the trip...
<<You just wanted it to keep going and going.>>We did.We camped Sat. and Sunday at Echo Saddle. Had plenty of time to to ski many runs, explore, sunbathe, read, watch the clouds form...
RANT: Locks tied in to horns should just be outlawed.Got that rant over with. Glad to have missed the wake-up call.See, the problem w/ planning trips w/ just guys is that *Easter did not e...
Did the Easter bunnies survive the trip? As one who most always has chocolate on hand (8oz Nutella last wk-end) I'm not sure I've ever seen chocolate in any form, let alone any chocola...
Thoughts:Fishscales rule. I only skinned up once (to climb out of the Toutle R. drainage.)Despite the awful look of the N side (See the volcano cam on TAY in Weather Links) I had my skis on more ofte...
Hmm. Now you've got me thinking about a ski camp traverse.Ski in, camp and sleep, ski lines and return to the same camp to sleep, move camp, repeat.
Do you think you could shave off a day by going the other direction, or would skinning the steep pitches (instead of skiing them) just involve too many swithcbacks and, as a result, loose too much tim...
I *love* that traverse!
I can't believe I'm asking/considering - but did you notice if the snowfields between Cowlitz Pass and Cowlitz Gl. toe were skiable?
Eight skiers descended on the Winthrop Gl. last wk-end to see if Amar's promisses still held true.It was a fun route. Sam the Man and Pete? showed the way down this wk-end. Ice and my...
Art, are you bringing skis to the Anderson Gl. this wk-end?Hmm. I can picture you considering it - you *nut*.I wouldn't even *if* I got sponsored skis from dps and fitted my bike w/ ski qui...
Nice! I'm hoping Adams is simalarly still in shape this wk-end. Anyone interested in two or three nights on Adams Aug. 4-7?
Waliking the false floor of a crevasse in order to find an errant ski, David's wholsome food vs our Mountain House, a billy goat setting off most of the avalances, David gently rousting us out of...
Nice run! We of the round the hill crew stared for hours on Sunday to try to see your tracks but were never sure. We guessed left wich is where it sounds you skied. After a couple da...
Quel beau traverse.Way to pin the wx!
I aggree w/ the above. My kind of trip. Awsome!Sun, corn, wind, self-flushing slopes, a little brush III, BN . . .What more could you possibly ask for?
Don Brooks and I had a fun time watching you come down the "crater fork" of the Boulder. In fact, you inspired us to go take the Boulder Gl. rt next wk-end!Fun views of you and everyon...
Good choice of activity. When I'm in there I can never decide if I want more to ski or to climb.
After all those dawn patrol and moonlight laps I did from WT Hut, I think mabey I'm ready for Vertical Fest.
