Where did you find that picture of me! ;D
Newton does require additional caution with all the traffic, much like a resort minus the AVY control work. Nice work Nexus digging the pit on a marginal day. Not being there my comments a...
Welcome NZ!
A good fisherman doesn't reveal his/her favorite fishing holes. Same has to apply to BC skiing now days as the population growth, and growth in general of the BC crowd are congesting many o...
Thanks all for the support. Immediately after the incident I felt OK, and Matt and I decided to continue our tour and ski. All was good, but later things got tougher for me as the drama continued...

E-sport and Billk you are both right in my opinion. In hindsight going home would have been the ABSOLUTE safe decision and choice. Frankly at this point it is one I wish we had made. A slide involv...
author=cascadekid link=topic=31167.msg130783#msg130783 date=1395206064]We saw your tracks while out today. With scoured lee slopes and intimidatingly widespread wind-loading we saw no reason to travel...

Real fun trip Stoudema. It's always good when reality beats expectation. Next time we need to save some time to ski that line above the tarn. I think I will drag along the whipp...
Outstanding!
I was finally able to get pictures uploaded.
David, Good to meet you and your group as well as the six from Corvallis. I like image 1 of the north ridge up with climbers, and Hayrick and Hoodoo buttes, as well as 3 fingered Jack and...
Stoudema, I am looking forward to getting back there next year for those north side bowls. Perhaps early enough to avoid the boot pack bushwhack through lava and chinquapin. I skied Brown Mt on the...
Good trip Koda. After putting in 12 hours on skis, and another 3 driving, this old man was tired yesterday. Just a couple adds: I took a short tour across the west ridge to see the v...
Buck.... anytime you "Never" feel like a partner for some Mary's "Unfounded" action, please send me a pm. Stoudema, that goes for you also.
As a college student at OSU in the 70's I spent many days and nights on Mary's exploring and gaining solitude from the classroom. Having never skied her, I am envious of this trip Stoudema....
I have done the high circumnavigation in early summer on skis at ~8500', and the low one twice on foot (on the timberline trail). My hat is off to you folks for just the attempt. Very...
Nice trip Steve. We were over on the worm flows. Attached pic of worm flows on the same day for comparison. You had much better coverage.
Rob and I did the trip on 12/6 and aside from the thin coverage it was very nice. Softening by 9 am. Left the rim at 1pm on really nice wind buff, which gradually transitioned into soft co...
Koda, Good partnering with you again. The spur, and Elk Cove truly are one of Mt Hood's gems. Being in there for a second time only wets my appetite for more. I can honestly say I have only...
Thanks for the invite to an epic slog Koda. Spectacular terrain, but such a shame that conditions did not allow for much skiing. Next time i will bring shorties to drop the bluebag! 'Twas also...
oldhouseman- i also ventured out sunday on hood with the hopes of a softening forecast, only to find high winds, and bullet proof ice. Needless to say it was a short day. This trip was my...
Good to meet and ski with you Zack. A couple of excellent days in the BC. Good times!
that morning alpinglow is awesome! It's a real difference in just one week. on the 5th the entire east aspect of heather canyon had 100% cover.
perhaps a few were mister bugs, and some hanky panky was going on.......?
"Did you do any roped skiing? " we were prepared, but never felt the need.
nice TR, nice photos. Way to work for it. I believe that basin on the west side, or flip side of Barret spur is Wyeast basin. What a great, and expansive area, but it does take...
