Good call Silas, was told @ park entrance gate to Paradise would not open until @ least noon
what a difference a few hours makes.. skiing down @ 3pm the upper section was fantastic, got really deep & mushy - i detoured over to the lift served area for somewhat firmer conditions.
two thumbs up Zapall the hints you gave me re the RV has paid offcheersrob
Well done Gentlemen.
nice report.. i have climbed up LR twice & down it once. thinking skis would have been a nicer option than crampons on the way down...well done
SW CHUTES FOR PAMgreat meeting you Pam - Shawn & Christhe chutes were as good as the other reports suggest. buttery @ the top then corn. i pulled out @ the traverse and headed back to my cam...

correct you are!i participatd in a rescue on denali with HACE climber.. took all night to get him to 17,000 but he was well after that.. on acongagua treated climber for HAPE.. while climbing fast mys...
because the skier is better- ear infection is ruled out. I am still sticking with AMS however, acute GI ( food issues) cannot be ruled out . he may have puked all the bugs out. if it was the inn...
would even go so far as to suggest HACE as he was having so much difficulty walking.. classic. both HAPE & HACE have been reported @ 10,000 feet
sure vote.but had the inner ear been an issue - descent would not have worked the cure... again so many cases such as this have been reported/ presented / treated ( per Hackett et) - hard not to make...
meant to add the most important treatment is exactly what you did.. go down..
sounds like classic AMS to me. if it walks like a duck and looks like a duck it is most likely a duck.too fast an ascent. have seen and treated HAPE - HACE and AMSsea level to muir is a dramatic...

couple questions for you:you made an early start from muir? or from paridise? you mention the summit but turned around @ 9,700 feet.. just trying to figure out your trip progression? thanks
spent three nights in there over the 4th. was able to ski all the way into McCall ( off the PCT ) and the last mile or so of the PCT as well. Skied some of the same lines you did on the 4th and 5th. o...

grapevine is that it was a climbing ranger. 100 feet into a crack. no rope. broken back
Way to get it Skinnercheersrob
My buddy & I skinned up to muir on April one. two other skiers had about a 2 hour head start. all of us used the RMI snow shoe track from monday. that group spent 9 hours hiking to Muir. thr...
Bootmight you be interested in a split board? cheersrob
i was right behind the guy on shoe shoes as he took out the nice skin track. the temp in the parking lot was 22 degrees @ nearly 10 am. like you say the snow was very light. did note several slides in...
