Just curious, at what point were you in Silver Basin? From what I read it sounds like you went up from top of Queens into A Basin and then skied back down to Lake Elizabeth.
Thanks for the tip on the road, saw that post seconds before heading out of town on Friday. We (Paul, Mary, Andrew) dropped a car at White River CG had great tour out to 3rd Burrough down to bottom of...
Thanks for the info and pics, we did a week backpacking there last Fall and planned to get in there to ski this spring. Doesn't look the same with all the snow, and to think we were desperate for...
Thanks for the TR. Do you happen to know if you can get to the Snowgrass Flats trailhead?

...and the same Silas Wild who in 2007 while on the Ortler traverse would make his appearance only after dinner was served and hover over our desserts! "Full pensione" was not in his vocabul...
Great TR. My heart breaks for you, I too lost my very best friend a year ago. Thanks for sharing a story of sadness, fear, friendship, joy and adventure. I think all too often we omit the first three...
That dude is gettin' Mavericky, just call him Joe.
Telemon and Scotsman- I too have found it most enjoyable to Ski Sunday and know I have the option of coming back and doing it again on Mon., Tues., Wed., Thurs., etc. Adjusting to unemployment is easi...
Silas - you were napping in the car at Longmire, but I did chat with Rick, then we went for breakfast, the gate opened and we let the crowd get a head start before our group started up. Lisa, Jo...
Okay, according to Joedabaker the Stashworthiness protocol is that you need to take them there instead of telling them the location. But how does one get to be Stash Worthy?Can someone post the rules...
okay - how about a little baiting-I am a single, cute, female and a pretty darn good skier and my friend is also single and stunning..... so, now will you tell us where the stash is. ;)
I think it is a hard lesson to learn- settle for what you have or keep climbing?I was thinking about another option- we could have stashed our ski gear at the skiable stashes, continued on up to Muir...

Do you need a snopark pass to park there? We are going up Sat. night and will be parking at Marble Mountain. I have a trailhead pass- but not a snopark pass.What time did most folks start out in the m...
That was a great day of skiing, next time I think I will short rope myself to Silas so I can keep up! Maybe it was those new Intuition liners that made him go like the energizer bunny or I am just mor...
I met Silas at the Branca Hut and then again at the Pizzini- small world out there. What an inspriation! That guy has some serious energy and sense of adventure.
