Nice job getting some of the best snow I have ever seen or skied. It was beyond belief and it looks like you guys enjoy it to the fullest.
Nice work Lowell. I am looking forward to the day when I can introduce my daughter and son ski mountaineering. It looks like Tom had a great time.
Nice. Glad you found some good snow.
Here are some photos.Thomas on the skin up. Pretty typical tree spacing for the upper 1500'Fun little terrain features we spotted on the way up. The west side of the face is the most featured. ...
Yes. Sorry about that. I was writing the TR while talking to someone about Harrison Street and got a bit of brain crosstalk.It was a nice place. There were lots of line available tha...
It looks like you all had a great day. The snow coverage up there is phenominal. There is great skiing right from the car. I did Dege on the 9th as part of an Antler to Dege traverse...
Nice! Gotta love it when you can take the family fun to the backcountry. Way to slay Stig!
Thanks for the report Spantik.

NWAC had been talking about hugh corninces for more than a week and I saw them on many ridges and features of most aspects around Stevens. There were some huge ones on north aspects. With...
Nice turns on a nice day.
Sweet indeed to catch the slot in such great conditions and without the usual hordes. Nice day.
It's not hard to understand how you could get addicted. Heliskiing is high on my to do list.
That first photo looks so nice. I think I need to make a trip up north.
Nice choice for a dawn patrol. Good work. ;D
I am glad you were able to get on that slope and get some turns.

How did you find the stability on moonlight? We were up there for the final field day of an Avy 1 class and we were getting some really easy shears in our test pits, CTV, CT1 & CT4 on a buri...
Strong day all the way around. Nice work.
I had one of my best pow trips ever in April of '08. We were in the Tatoosh and it was deep and it was good. There is still hope.

On the skin up yesterday I was thinking, "I should have been here Saturday". From all of the tracks on Tye Mill you might have thought the lifts were running. We did find good snow skiers...
When I was up there two weekends ago the summit was not really skiable. It was a mess of deep steps, avy runnels and fallen and exposed rocks. By now I can't imagine it would be worth...
We skied the Squak yesterday from Sherman Peak. We hiked the trail with intermittent snow to about 4600' and skinned from there. On the descent we were able to stay west of the prominent north/...
Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for the TR. I am thinking about this for next weekend. It looks like it is a longer trip than when I have done it before. It looks like you guys hit the timing perfectly.

Congratulations on your recovery and what sounds like a great perspective on the whole adventure.
