And a little POV from the outing:The GunsightFollowing Jeff, then I crash
We were a group of two on tele. The only others I saw where on snowshoes though I did see one set of skinny ski tracks, but not the skier who put them down (looks like they stuck to the road rather th...

Glad you were able to get yours. We didn't feel like being patient enough since we wanted to hit some runs on the lifts. Had Slot not had frozen tracks, it would have been side-slip and jump turn...

Very, very close. Not more than about a 10-15 minute skin to the TH. Probably drivable once the first big rigs beat tracks through it.
Better to be out than not, but your report confirms that it was a good idea to bail on my plan to take my son up there on Sunday for his annual backcountry ski trip. Thanks for the report.
Nicely done. That's a good amount of terrain to cover in that amount of time. I did some July turns up that way last summer around La Bohn Gap during a backpack trip with my son. We stood at the...

Hey, Phil, we were all curious how you found this route. It seems so hidden from most vantage points. From where did you pick it out?

So that explains the mystery tracks. Strange about the thermos. I didn't notice one when we arrived and none of our gear had been messed with when we returned (someone could have snagged a pretty...
Looks like the timing was good. Would have been fun to go, but one sick day a week is about all I can swing. Maybe on another outing.
Sorry, no thermos. Were you up there the same day as us? The Whistler guys said they heard someone arrive during the night and take off and we saw some tracks heading toward the N. Ridge, but no sign...

I've been intrigued with the idea of skiing into Big Snow Mt. since a map that I have shows a skier symbol used for marking downhill ski areas. When I saw that on the map, I thought, "Huh? A...

Glad you could make use of the tracks. I wish I'd have had them so I could hit the summit sooner and the snow when it was better skiing. The number of rocks we hit was a little surprising especially i...
I've got snow envy. We missed the good stuff on Red Mt.'s west face by about an hour and a half or so. Should've been up before the crack of dawn or bailed early and got it while the getting was good.

Tim, how have you rigged the cam since I noticed you're not carrying it?
