Pits are only as valid as the conditions they represent and therefore one would ideally dig a pit at least as deep as any known weak layers on all aspects you plan to travel or ski in. With storm sno...
that does sound weak. but maybe he didn't know where he was going?
thanks for the link hedonaut, never knew all that, great story.
totally unerstand where you're coming from, Joe. just don't think its up to Silas to break it all down in a TR.
since when does a trip report have to cater to the lowest common denominator? safety, as silas aludes to, is not an objective hazard. the avalanche triangle is weather, snowpack, and terrain with th...
Love it, brings me back.
Very nice!
as if 16 lined up on the slot werent enough

We skinned up Alpental yesterday. Upper nash was so good (deep and light) we lapped it three times then headed down through more vertically challenged terrain. Killer 1st day for this guy-
Thanks for the conditions report. You don't bring much food along on your trips, do you? All clif bars and shots? Man, I need something that sticks to my gut for big trips
Agreed, killer photos. What a day!
Pearly rock is a great tour!
You can also sew your skin back together with dental floss.
Lisa and Amar,I think we may have skied down as you were coming up? Were you the group that left a barking dog tied up while you summited? We heard him as we skinned up for a second run across the v...
Nice effort, and given the weather and snow as good a bet for decent snow as anywhere. One question: was the snowmobile traffic to the south/west of rainy pass? There's not supp...
Awesome!
Nice! Sorry I missed you boys today. Got stuck skiing deep snow at the area and eating fries with the little one in the lodge....Next time..
Wind and sun have had their way with the Slot as of today.
Lee, please keep it up. I really appreciate the conditions reports and the stoke.
Way to sniff out the goods, Chris!
awesome!

Nice, Chris. Thanks for the report. It was a good day everywhere.
Combine the fact that the ski area controls all the lots up there, and that WSDOT wont let you park at the ventilator anymore, and the options for bc skiing parking is severely l,imited up there. ...
Spicoli- the visibility was poor and I dont really know the area very well. But from what I coud tell, everything was looking pretty filled in. I'm sure some Baker locals could better answer y...
Good News, the pollen problem at Pilchuck washed away with the snow during all the rain yesterday!
Yeah I wouldn't want to be approaching Blue Lake col when that cornice drops, ka-boom!
nice shots of the cold smoke!
