The first picture is classic Cascades. Kudos.
In non-timed, non-judged activities like ski mountaineering, style matters just as much, if not more, than the objective. The style of your 'ski' is about as bad as it could possibly get. ...
Thanks for posting your story. I think we can all agree that the most important takeaway is that you and your partners are alive. All the rest is incedental.I was wondering about one thing...
Yea, it sounds like you're leaving out the best parts. Spill the beans. :)
Awesome. Those mountains look impressive in your photos, so I'm sure they're even much more so in person.I live a little north of Mammoth and was also seeing a resemblance to the Sierra, es...
That's a beautiful ski line. I've daydreamed abouy making turns down the tongue of the Liberty Ice Cap Glacier (but, of course, lack the skill and determination). Good job!
It's all good. It would be awesome if you went ahead and posted up the GPS tracks and waypoints. That way I'd know if I was looking down Gnar Chute #1 or Gnar Chute #2. Thanks! ;D
Tim Right on! and I'll vote for you for president. Keep posting and cranking. This area rocks.
Why? Why would you post this? (I don't really care, but a lot of people probally do. Nothing personal. I'm sure you're just sharing your enthusiasm for bc skiing.)
Good call on Emerson. Looks like you nailed amazing conditions.If you were up by Little Morrison on the 12th, we probably passed each other. (I did an early lap in Old Man's Bowl with...
Good job. Did you go into the knife shop? I've always talked about getting some sort of custom-made katana from that place, but have never followed through...
That was incredible. Lugging your tripod, etc up there was worth it.author=allenat@ylor link=topic=19004.msg80623#msg80623 date=1294962065]I appreciate all of the positive comments but if any of you...
Based on the red jacket, those pics look like me ;D. Props to Dan for getting some airtime! Noice to bump into you guys.
Yes, about 2 miles to dirty yet continuous snow. As you know, the trail is a nice wide mega-highway, so the hike in and out doesn't involve any fighting deadfall or ducking through brush, so whi...
Hi Zap,Still good coverage up the Robinson Lake drainage and there was still snow to the parking lot (although it was quite beat up). The other drainages had melted out down low, but probably still O...

Nice Zap. I'm down in Bishop at the moment where the winds have kicked up before the precip rolls in. Blue Subaru with a grey box, black lab. Keep an eye out ;).
Bummed to hear about that accident. Hope everyone recovers.I've seen quite a few naturals in that pocket. There was one there last Friday (4/2). I think the wind really rips over the ridge rig...
Nah, that was Yodelin.I edited out all the parts where the skier was lollygagging and wrestling alder upside down. ;)
Hey Joe,Yea, any slide, no matter what the size, feels big at the time and makes you wonder where you screwed up!!! Like I said, we saw the crowns from the day before (which all looked to be skier tr...
Really nice trip, and good job getting up early.
Sweet! That thing looks so close but is sooo far.Is this the chute you rode (as seen from lichtenberg)?Anyway, nice trip, and thanks for posting it.
Thanks for the report and the conditions info. If anyone can get out tomorrow (Wed), there are some other fun, steep n. facing chutes in the area that I'd like to ride, but my partner had to ba...
That was a pretty funny report. I read it a second time and it started to make sense!
Thanks for writing up your experience!Yea, I gotta disagree with you also Tim, the baker slackcountry seems like it's a zoo year round, at least when it's bluebird and a weekend, similar to...
Cool. Nice meeting you.That's amazing that you were able to ski the whole way down to the trailhead.We weren't quite as skilled :'( ;)
Glad you got some nice turns in. I think snoslut and I talked to you as we were getting back to the trailhead on Thursday afternoon. Thanksgiving (11.27.08) was quiet up there. We were lucky to hav...
No snow in glacier basin yet...
