Cool route. Chasm looks fascinating.
Thanks Jeff - were all of those ECT & CT results Q1 shears? They looked pretty 'crisp'. Thanks for raising our awareness a bit.
Nice work Scott and Andrew. Glad you finally got Glacier Scott - and glad the route worked out. Looks like you were right on about the coverage. I need to stop the rest of my life for a couple day so...
The front page has officially gone from remembering the past to anticipating the future. Things are looking up.OK, time to mount those size SM Fritschis. This post made my kid a little jealous. :D
+1 on the dirt road being the crux of the approach for Emmerson and Wahoo. Half the lines in these photos are accessed out of the same little dirt pull out at the top of the Buttermilk Road loop, whic...
Nice work guys! Wish I could have made it. I will have to check that route out - there's more adventure in our backyard than you'd think sometimes.
Now that's a vacation. Strong work guys!
Good stuff. The pillow lines looked really fun.I need to get back up there!
DavidG - thanks for mentioning that. I'd heard about the idea of connecting the different resorts before, but hadn't heard that a BC access permit system was being considered. That's s...
Glad you got some!! Sounds like its game on.
Also, the glacier was in really good shape when we were up there last Tuesday. We were able to head right for Sherman Peak from the top of the moraine without really changing course. We never really h...
Nice once guys. I was just commenting to my ski partners earlier this week that I'm not making the most out of the Mountain Loop peaks. That area is beautiful.
Reynolds has been on my list for a while. Way to go. The ski off the summit looks really fun.
Glad you guys got out!! Eldorado is a classic summit, with an amazing view.Keep us posted on Owen's PNW tick-list. Hopefully the weather will cooperate more and give you some better options...
Thanks for the correction skimac. You're right, it is Sierra (no s). I guess I had my brain in Anglo gear while writing the TR.June lakes is amazing. During our storm day we considered heading up...
Thanks Zap. Hopefully they will clear the road all the way to the lake soon.We actually talked to a guy in the parking lot who was a part time plow driver and he tried to convince the county road crew...
Nice work!We'll have to set-up the car-shuttle option with other TAYers the next time there's spring exodus to the Sierra.Hope you and your ski buddy are responding well to your medica...
Nice work guys!And yeah, the gas smell needs to be reported. Baker ski area might want to know too - maybe they can figure out the source and limit the damage if its really their stuff.Here's the...
I think pointed criticism about safety decisions is fine. But the idea that our access to the hills will be preserved if only everyone else would make better decisions seems pretty misguided.There was...
Looks like a really nice trip Clem. Glad you were able to avoid any serious trouble with those touchy surface hoar layers. Hopefully things will settle down.
Pics added. It was a really nice day.
Hey Kenji - how was the access to Del Campo and how high did the snow start? Was it a quick hike in from the road? Seems like a good year to try stuff off the Mountain Loop.
I'm still jealous, even if you didn't summit. Nice work guys.
I love the 'bonus couloir.' That thing cuts through the lower cliff bands like a granite half pipe. Very very cool.Glad you had a good ski on the Matterhorn!
You're welcome. Lots of goods in Tahoe and down 395 on the E side this season. While I'm thinking of it - check out Red Lakes Peak too for a really nice long corn ski - the main gully that g...
Man that looks nice. Are y'all returning later in the spring to ski the395 corridor? Seems like a really good bet this year.Ck out Coon Creek Canyon on the NE shoulder of Castle Peak when you get...
Solid.I'm hiring you as my CFO. Way to keep the shred/expense ratio high.
Yeeehaw! Nice shot of the rap over the little cliff. Guess I am into that kind of thing.The ski certainly looked worth it.
Awesome TR. I'm looking for my passport now.Glad Ivan was OK!
Looks like decent coverage up high. They can always move the start of the DH to the top of Pattison. That would be good TV.Great pics. Thanks!
