I'm guessing there are very few people who ski the road the whole way (from the car) and even fewer that attempt skiing the trail. I suppose you could ski some of the upper parts, but even half w...
How did you find out that the road was open for bikes? In years past I could find that info on the web somewhere, but I can't find it this year.
Yeah, I'm a huge fan of fish scales. They are especially good in rolling terrain with skis, as the transition is much easier. The Paradise area has lots of great terrain that are especially good...
I went up to Kendall Lake today with skinny skis. I set off a couple of small, slow moving slab avalanches. One was on part of the road and another was above it. Neither was very big and the runout on...

I'm surprised I haven't seen an updated report for Glacier Peak in a while. I hiked in that area last weekend and saw seven skiers (in different groups). Conditions look pretty good, but a l...
Nice. I thought about that area as well today, but chickened out (I was afraid of too much road skiing). Sounds like you got a nice combination for some nice skiing and great views. Good choice.
Yes, absolutely. It was spectacular and splendid. I forgot to post a reference to the pics. Here they are: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rossbl/sets/72157630122878478/
A couple other pics:
The lake being "Rainy" and the summit being "Preacher"?
Excellent! Thank you very much for the info.
I was thinking of doing a Nordic trip on the road to Reflection Lakes this weekend. Do you think there is enough coverage over there? The nice thing about a road is that you only need a few inches, as...
I think one of the toughest things about getting other folks into backcountry skiing (or just cross country skiing in general) is matching the conditions and the terrain to the gear. If the snow is pe...
Thanks. I corrected the date (Oops).
I was in that area on Saturday and met the snowmobilers. I took the same approach as Haggis, but didn't bring my skis (I wished I had them once I crossed the creek and hit the solid snow). I boot...
