Nice - I hit the Othello headwall just behind where this picture was taken as well as BEHI classics McClellan col and Dawson face. I was thinking fish scales would have been the optimal tool for...
Hit up Alpy for a Nash lap this morning - skinning at 5:30. Cloudy weather helped with no solid refreeze overnight, so snow was soft enough to be enjoyable when we skied down at 7. We were...
Good to see that it actually goes all the way in the right conditions!
Nice Dick pics! I tried skiing this in the spring and got cut off by a waterfall near the top of the Luke...then had the privilege of skiing rock covered snow all the way back to the PC trail.&n...
Dude, that is hauling for a full circumnav of chair peak with the holy diver! Did you run the diver out and come back over the saddle at gem lake?

Probably not in the immediate future - full days away from the house are few and far between with the new baby.
Good looking trip, Peter!
Pavel, you horn tooter. Nice trip guys - looks like the knee is doing well.

It'd be interesting to see someone drop a couple of those if they could get on the ridge. It's nice that you can see the whole basin from the ridge so you'd really know if there w...
Lookin' good, Pavels!

Nice work. I look forward to Father's day skiing with my daughter in about a decade or so. (Hopefully!)This has got to be some kind of a TAY record for consecutive daily trip reports from a...
You must have been the group of three with the dog that I saw leaving when I was getting ready to head up. Some awesome sunset turns were made even awesome-er :D by a generous beer donation from Dic...

Checked the WSDOT webcams earlier in the morning and thought about bailing on heading up. The dog was happy that I decided otherwise.
Yeah, you should be good at any of the ski areas on that side of the highway now.
Nice!Has anyone ever skied the col that runs from due east from Pt 5160 down towards Mud Lake? Looks like it could be pretty awesome with a decent low elevation snowpack.
Nice video!Quick question: The route seems like pretty straightforward fall line skiing. Is there anywhere along the route that you have to zig instead of zag to avoid cliffing out?
Nice! I can't wait until I get to do the same with my girl.West is another great spot to take kids for canned ski/mountain photo shoots. This one is from last spring. Never could get...

Were you the group ahead of us that skied down towards the MFK to ~2900' and back out Thunder Creek? If so, thanks for the track out!
Way to get it midweek. I think we saw the remnants of your skin track out after skiing the mid-week storm refreshed Holy Diver on Saturday. The rocks had shed a lot of snow along the edges...
Sounds very familiar. We got a little bit later start due to parking pass shenanigans, but had a pretty similar day. Found the steep skin track up the face - stayed on it for a while but b...
Awesome day with some fun (even if unintentional) exploration of a different corner of the mountain. It was so good that it didn't even matter that I was on my summer skis due to a Dynafit...
Nice write up Stefan, it felt good to explore the Old Norse roots.
