The pure novelty of skiing right from our house just a few feet above sea level was something we couldn't miss! Good to hear that "turns" were had in Bellevue.
So I guess there are numerous ways to a...
Thank you all! Hopefully all that endless carrying of skis and ski boots pays off as we switch to alpine climbing. The camera lived a good life and has been to some cool places, such as the Pickets. N...
Such a treat to be floating (flying) above the clouds, but too bad about the wind. We need to replace our tent poles after the traverse because they're seriously bent from the night on the Pilz....
Wow, that was a gnarly descent! I think I had to look away at some point because it was too nerve-racking. We only saw you from a distance so the slope looked super steep. As we got closer, it laid ba...
Thank you all for your kind comments. I contacted NPS with photos and emailed with their wildlife biologist who confirmed that this is indeed wolverine. I was hesitant to leave the photos up for conce...
Thank you!So, apparently, we also took pictures of wolverine tracks. They were identified on NWHikers so adding photos here.

Hi John, Yes, we think those crowns were from Friday. We skied those slopes a year ago, but stayed away from them on Saturday. There is already a discussion on snomos on Smithbrook on NW Hikers: http:...
Eeek! I am sorry, I posted pics as usual but something must have changed. I reposted pictures in a smaller format. Please let me know if that still doesn't work. Thank you!

Thank you all! Happy to spread the joy of this unique experience. author=Griff link=topic=36526.msg148797#msg148797 date=1463411523]BTW - I like to feature your wonderful photography on what I call &q...
Thanks, kamtron!The headwall definitely went a week ago. I think one could also get to Cockscomb Ridge, with some added creativity and complexity, by end-running to climber's left and traversing...
Thank you, Dan! I have some ideas how to do even it better ;) For starters, spend 4 days to a week. Skip Deception and just ski all around - so much incredible terrain. The slopes in Deception B...
You certainly know the various secret spots in the park, vogtski. Boot's way is also great if they don't open the road - nice to have that option.We have skied in the Tatoosh before - a coup...
Thank you all for your kind comments. Skiing the Boulder Glacier made me curious about Park Glacier - it seems very remote. Something tells me Baker is going to get at least one more visit from us thi...
Pizzas or pictures, glad to be of service ;DMuchas gracias!
Thank you all for your kind feedback, glad you enjoyed the report and pictures. By no means do we set any speed records on our trips - there is so much to explore and ski and photograph to just fly by...
Thank you everybody for your kind comments! This traverse really has high reward for not being very strenuous or technically difficult. We posted a report on NWHikers with more photos and descriptions...
author=savegondor link=topic=35229.msg144495#msg144495 date=1451402571]sure would be fun to do some "thinning". Hey, I already did my part for thinning ;DMaybe they will bloom before...
Savegondor - we went up the Henry Creek side in April 2014 with Kenji et al. and it was ok, but there was a lot more snow then. All the little trees and almost all of the slide alder was covered at th...
Our route back was a mess (Chris calls it "brutal") so I wouldn't recommend it.
Hello, mbravenboer! Actually, it was your trip report on NWHikers that inspired us to post ours here. We did see your snowshoe track, but it seemed to be following the PCT and we chose a different str...
Hi Kameron, Looks like we switched destinations this past weekend, with your group going to the Goat Rocks (though using a different approach) and us going to Mesahchie. I'd say that approach via...
Here:
Hello Mr. Red! We came up the N side of the Hwy - is that what you were asking? Indeed, very memorable skiing! Glad you found the goods, too. And thank you all!
No way, we like our knees! One set of screws in the knee is plenty ;)
Thank you all for your kind comments!hedonaut - we looked at Whistler and it looked interesting. How did you go up it? We are intrigued. Kenji - ugh, I am still recovering from Post Traumatic Crust Di...
Thank you for all the info! With no new snow in the forecast, I think we will just wait for things to warm up a little bit - but hopefully not so much that the lake melts!
Runningclouds: Never had an issue with the camera moving around. It just hangs in the holster with the lens pointing to the ground. I don't think the camera has ever fallen out of the holster eit...
