I talked with my almost 100 year old Dad, Lonnie Robinson about skis, bindings and poles and wax tonight. He remembers the 1935 time period very well. He said he knew Wolf very well then. He also said...
We also saw what appeared to be bobcat tracks lower down where we had seen them in years past. The large hole in the snow near the end of the photos was what looked like a den of a similar sized...
Thanks for the pics Lar, my cellphone doesn't do as well as your camera. Even though this trip didn't have any to die for turns in it, it was special to be out in classic mid winter scenery....
Both Larry and I ski on Trabs- they are awesome! I was at Crystal on Wed and was skiing with an ex patroller from Oregon whose nephew was a Randonee champion. There was much talk about the all mountai...
When we first started going to Sasse Ridge over 15 years ago we would talk about how each year was a gift and we never knew if we would be back the next year. After all these years the accumulated mem...
Good write up Lar and your camera is so much better than mine! I just felt like a kid in a candy store! Nothing like witnessing the big storms in the fall. So many fond memories of this test time and...
Here is a good photo to indicate the snow depth in the trees heading up the rib on the south side Salmon la Sac creek. The snow stuck to the tree indicates wind direction and old mans beard still atta...
This looks like a real paradise and such good weather! Gorgeous scenery. Brings back fond memories of skiing in places like that. Not anymore for these old bones. We were happy to make it up 700'...
I thought I heard voices mid morning when I was drying out my clothes in my tent, I poked my head outside half way thinking I might see John coming for a visit. Larry's tent was perfectly still a...
Lar, What about the instructions about how to recover your happy hour drink when spilled?
Here are a few views of my tent area and a couple hints about how I do things. Not as neat as Larry, but it works for me.http://cid-789fee38f6cd222c.photos.live.com/play.aspx/Sasse%20Ridge%20snow%20c...
Great pics Lar! I would also like to add a comment about gear. Outer hardshells to be specific. I had gotten increasingly wet over the last year or so as my 13 year old Patagonia Storm parka delaminat...
We know it is spring when the snowpack is so rotten that you can't go two feet away from your tent before falling off the edge. Here is Larry, having misjudged the edge of his tent platform, with...
The snow angel technique makes you feel like a kid again, with one exception. As a kid we just flopped down in the snow. We were all of 3-4 feet tall then. I found that even if I sit on a small...
Marcus,For the first time in eons I didn't take any pictures. Sorry. Right now I am struggling with how to organize my 8,500 pictures, a bit overwhelming with my lack of computer savvy. Jan...
Thanks for the report Andy, I have been wondering all day what snow conditions might be up there. I hope we get some more cold snow this weekend over the crest and I can convince Larry to go out...
author=hankj link=topic=12320.msg51473#msg51473 date=1234766180]It was 5pm when I returned to Cabin Creek, deserted enough to walk up the nordic track for 500 yards with a snowboard under my arm and a...
This celebrates 10 years of the evening view from Sasse Ridge. John, if you want to get in on the snow camping anniversary there is still time to order those primaloft pants! Jane
So you think you might be getting old? Skiing down for the lead person in lots of unconsolidated snow is work. The following person just stands there, which I, as little sister, was happy...
Awesome panorama Lar. It sure felt like winter had arrived waking up to 10 degrees outside. Glad I included my down hood.Sliding down instead of walking will be a reality soon! Jane
Good post Lar, I told you I was going to have to start working out if you were going to change your Meds.For anyone else suspecting declining exercise performance due to blood pressure creeping up wit...
The reason I read TAY on Friday is to see what my brother Larry has to say, since I can't call til late Friday night or Saturday due to his schedule. I am so curious as to how his week went...
about Larry's stove... Lar you forgot to mention the value of your stove in just heating your tent. I am so often sitting in my tent in the near ambient 6 degrees or 16 degrees, whate...
