Beautiful pics Norse, great day out with you and Z. Let's do it again sometime soon... maybe when I'm over my Longmire gate angst. (945!?!)
We recieved the closure news @830 in Newhalem, hung our heads and turned around, thinking worst case scenario was we'd have the DOT drive by while booting up at the car and tell us to leave anywa...
Looking down into Spray Park as the sun sets. Yes, you'll need to walk all the way to the base of the Flett @6.5-6.7K to take the skis off the pack.
This area does not disappoint. Kitling on the left from from an epic pow lap on the Mesahchie last month-

Thanks for the report Lowell. I visited those ruins back in September but didn't know the back story on the lodge.
I applaud the effort, yet it still resulted in Vertical Video Syndrome.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt9zSfinwFA

Thanks for the boot pack Silas!
Excellent adventure and great write up.
Wow guys. Way to get that one the second time around DT in what looks to be less than favorable conditions.
Ouch. locks aren't the only thing being cut in this thread.
Thank you for the honest write up, we're all glad this one didn't turn out with injuries or worse.Also a couple of points -NWAC forecasts are general forecasts and cannot target micro terra...

A good deal of road traffic even before 7:30am with the lots nearly full already as we passed by. Deep and deeper between 5500-3800ft, we never found the crust or anyone else all day.
As the song goes, It's a long way to the top, if you want to ROCK and ROLL. 8)
Great day. I'd put it at 10-12" sparkly sugar @5500ft, 6"down to ~4K, and a meager 2" at the base-yet MUCH improved all around. Some evidence of wind transport and a just a few sli...

More excellent laps with the DOF. Some great Silver sessions this year, it won't last much longer now.
Amazing effort!My lungs hurt just from reading that.
