Epic trip report, Amar!!
Boy oh Boy! I guess I missed the boat this year...but not really. ;)I actually missed the festivities because I was buying a boat. Ben appears to have stolen the show with the "speed-suit"....
if the yellow dot was your intended entry point to the route, then I would say you're definitely a purist. ;)
Nice stuff, Charles! Sounds like ideal snow conditions.author=skykilo link=topic=10627.msg43199#msg43199 date=1215811790]Glad you had a good trip. Nice photos.And WOW the Mowich Face looks really dir...
Looks significantly less runnelled than our independence day blitzkreig back in 05...I take it there was less worry about the cornice that missed us by 15 minutes last time?

Mmmm. Spam and Peanut Butter!I remember you telling me about those caches a few years ago when we drove to do the Nooksack and thinking what a cool idea for a trip. Very responsible that you went back...
Bike? What bike? Do you see any studded snow tires in that photo? Back when I used to ski (circa 2003), we skied lines way more gnar. ::)Oh yeah, I'm biking tomorrow...he-he 8)
Ditto. 90+ degrees in the lowlands is key. Walking up the north ridge in trail shoes gives you plenty of time to scope out NFNWR and if it looks bad, you can always navigate the Adams Glacier or one o...
Nice trip report, Greg...Short and to the point.I'll just add a couple of tidbits:1. Touring up at Roger's Pass should be excellent for a while. There is over 5 feet of consolidated snowpack...

Hey Jimmy,Nice report! Glad you guys stayed flexible in your plans and had fun. It was very rainy here in town on Friday morning, so I'm glad you were able to hold it off as long as you did!
I don't think Sky will mind...
Sounds like we just missed you at Paradise. What time did you leave Paradise? We picked up our cars at about 10:30, I think. If had known your plan, I might have....wait, I was too t...

Then there's always this problem which should be avoided... ;)
