I've been fighting a cold, but if I get over it I'll try to make it up this weekend.
Impressive! I didn't think there would be snow this late.
It was actually quite crowded, but most people seemed to ignore us. A few stared for a few moments, and I talked to them about what we were doing, but nobody approached us. That's pretty strange...
I almost went there yesterday to bag exactly that patch of snow. I was going to go with my son, who is recovering from having his wisdom teeth out, but he was still in pain so we decided to put off Se...
Great job! That's always been one of my favorite runs -- stay to the west to avoid crevasses, and you can get great snow all summer long. I once got caught in a snowstorm in August, dropping over...
Don,I'm over in Oak Harbor - sadly far from any mountains. But I have a car, and I'm not afraid to use it!Def ping me - I always love a chance to ski. I don't have AT bindings on anythi...
We didn't drive to the end of the road, just the first trailhead after the one right by the Interstate.

Were you the snowboarder that told me not to bother heading up all the way? I expected to see you coming back up for another lap. What a beautiful day!
Okay, I lied, I do have photos... but they're not good. Here's the best:
We were ahead of you; we watched you skin up past us while we ate and relaxed. We were maybe 100 vf below you on the same rock outcropping. I think I have a few photos of ya'll climbi...
Best snow I've seen in months, what a day! Got any pictures? I brought a camera, my best lens, polarizing filters, a monopod, a little lens cleaning tool, and I even charged up my bat...
Kept the skins on through the woods, and never put on crampons. I saw two tracks heading up from what appeared to be just a day earlier... One appeared to switch to booting about halfway u...

I agree, great skiing this morning, Two feet of soft powder in places. But by the time we returned to the car (around 10), most of the good stuff had been mucked up by cats, and there were...
The needle ice was all over the Paradise area Sunday - it started just a few hundred vf above the parking lot, and went up as high as I did.
After mid-July, always take that ridge climbers right. Tempting as the snow straight up looks, it's really not that far to go and it's always better to the right....I'm looking fo...

No, I got out pretty quickly. I'm glad, too, because by 8PM I was a quivering mass of goo. But yeah,I'm not the only one in my office at home today.Didn't see too much of th...
Yeah, I'd say conditions are similar to late June last year. Get it while it's there!
You made the news on KXLE. Good job helping her out, and best wishes for a speedy recovery!
I posted six pics to give an idea of what our trip looked like. If there's interest I might put a gallery up, but even after sorting out the bad shots I've still got a few zillion, and...
Welcome to TAY... er, as a poster. Nice picture!
Saw your tracks Sunday from the summit of Earl. You were pretty close to the top; I figured you just didn't want to deal with that cornice. On the west side the snow kept flopping bet...
I'm going to have to pass for the Stuart trip next weekend. Unfortunately I've got too much else to do, including my promise to take my wife on a (shorter) tour. Do keep me in mi...
After a string of nasty threads resulting from a lack of snow, are we getting nasty arguments resulting from high avy conditions?
I couldn't get out of my house yesterday, but my toilet was running, so I toured over to the hardware store and bought a new flapper. I count myself amongst the small cadre of people who ha...
