Great day, Runcle! I think we got more snow today. N
Your guess is as good as mine, TM. I'm not sure I'd even call it a parking lot but there's room for 3 cars and next to it another, smaller one. About 0.2 miles before summer Switchback...
You could have used today's snow--assuming that Walker got any. N
Thank you, partner. I enjoyed every minute of that tour. Yesterday was beautiful, too, but visibility wasn't as crisp. Thank you, friends of Phil Hall for that bench at 4200: there is no better p...

We need a mule service to Victor. You guys must have headed back early: that corn hardened into very fast icy crust in the evening. N
Thank you, runcle, for being there when I cried Nuncle from the sticks, on the ski-out. Yes, folks, the N gullies are well-filled from top to bottom and will survive this heat wave but the approach is...

Congratulations: you made pretty good time (and wise decisions) considering conditions and the late lift start. My partner and I skied Pattison on Friday (I'm the last of the four dots on flickr...
Very informative: a great way to finesse the two-car issue. Wish I could follow your track tomorrow, dogs and all (I have two, too). N
Congratulations on an epic effort--from marching the extra 14 miles with full load to beating the whiteout at the summit. N
Aptly named line, Ziegenbock. N
Strong work, MG. Going down the Eldo climbers trail with skis on your back is pretty awful.I used the 3x function on your photo #87 where Klawatti S face is in the top right corner: it appears that th...

Good job, skiers, and good TR!How much overhang is there left to come down the avalanche trap under Pyramid? Never mind that conditions may have changed over this weekend. Niko
Thanks for the tip, Stefan: you solved my quandary). If it didn't freeze last night it surely won't tonight... N

We skied the chutes: visibility was good; very sticky snow--so sticky we decided not to ski the last 1500 to the bridge but went back to Paradise. Gorgeous day, though. N

A noble achievement, congratulations. Saturday was definitely the day to do it. N
I for one have enjoyed every single one of Amar's reports--often enviously, I might add, but not because he stole my stash of powder. His reports are useful and beautiful, a rare combinatio...
Great dog shots, Will: they earned the right to have the last word, in Photobucket. (Too bad I missed that one.) N

Ah, lucky Tab. I remember sitting on the covering boulder and not wanting to ever leave... In winter, did you still have to climb the ladders to get to the Couvercle hut? That would be like a waterfal...
Good to see you on the slopes, guys (and dog): someone told me you had gone to Wyoming. N

Speedy recovery, Akarchin. You were exceptionally lucky to have Martin around: he would have hauled you to safety even if the chopper had been unable to lift you. N
Good thing you're safe, John. That's a nasty slide in a tight place... What does Cannon Mtn couloir look like these days? Niko
