Suncups were minor, a non-issue really. only two legitimate melted out campsites adjacent to camp lake. Things are changing rapidly though...

Nice work guys, sorry I missed it!
Indeed, clear weather would've significantly improved this tour. Stats are ~7100' ascent and ~14.5 miles of distance.author=alpenho link=topic=27451.msg115481#msg115481 date=1360595318]We go...

We were up the weekend before during prime ski conditions, 12"+ of unconsolidated low density snow on top of increasing density base made for excellent turns. The windslab and evidence of recent...
I was in this area over the weekend and would estimate ~2+ feet of snow at the 542 DOT shed just west of Hannegan Rd. FS roads are blocked with large snow banks.author=Charlie Hagedorn link=topic=2705...
I love this area, great trip report! We covered some of this terrain in a day trip variation of the Chair-Roosevelt figure 8 last April. Good to hear it's already in good shape, can't wait t...
Ruth hoar:Glad to be out of the early morning north side shade:Ian enjoys the rare occurrence of light snow and sunshine in the Cascades:
We had a similar experience with the potholes and the creek crossing a few weeks ago.There's a subaru in there:
Edit to add my photo album if anyone is interested.
We could see the this crown from I90 on our drive back from the east side this evening, we were trying to guess how big it was, 6', wow!
Nice to run in to you all today. CharlieP and I started the day heading for the Kendall Stumps for a lap. Then we gained and crossed the ridge into Commonwealth where we caught up with Silas et al.
Late morning skinning on the snowfield below the Flett glacier (nice sheen and zero ski penetration indicative of firm conditions).
Hi Charlie-I was in the group of 3 you passed on the way out just before the Spray Park trailhead. Nice to meet you!We stopped below the Flett headwall due to hard snow conditions and waited for thing...
Skied from Coleman-Deming saddle on Saturday. Similar findings on the Coleman, smooth down to 8000', then suncups and runnels down to our ski-boot transition at ~6000'. A few obvious and avo...
To get an idea of coverage, Hook Creek drainage from above:Crossing Shield Lake on our way to camp below Prusik Pass:
Thanks for the skin track up to the entrance to the northwest side, we admired your descent tracks from the summit of Roosevelt. Impressive tour!
There are a few more pictures here.
It was definitely wicked cold. The low clouds you can see below Lafayette are actually from snow guns blowing snow on Avalanche.In the +/- 26 years that I've been skiing at Cannon (inconsistently...
We were up at Crystal on Saturday too. Saw a line of folks skinning up under Quicksilver and a well established skin track headed towards Bullion, so we opted for the road less traveled, splitting the...
I skied Silver Basin on Saturday. Snow level was around ~5000', snowed most of the day, hard at times. Upper basin was pretty wind affected, with areas that had significant deposits and other are...
Here's the info. I also posted a request on TGR, and got some info regarding lodging, etc. If you have any additional questions shoot me a PM.
Hi John,I was in the group that met you guys on the ridge below the summit of Lichtenberg. Took an avy class with Jake a month or so ago.We ended up doing a lap on the south aspect, which definitely h...
Ditto, our group of four made it to Pebble Creek on Sunday, after almost being blown over multiple times by gusty winds, salvaged a couple turns and beat feet back to the car.
The tracks were much appreciated! There was probably some substantial consolidation between your trip and ours, even though only separated by a day, as we did not experience any sinking. T...
