Bravo Rusty. Twofer. And thanks for the Telemon reminder. Scholes looking good!!
I think mikerolfs said they parked at the overlook, not the “lookout”. Google says this about it: https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/washington-pass-overlook It appears to say...
I need you on my speed dial for car to car skiing all year. Well done.
For the aged ones of us who like words as much as pics, can you describe your itinerary with weather and snow conditions, what skis and huts do you suggest? Thanks.
We found what appeared to be burned trees that had been cut down. During a recent(?) fire? Does anyone know? Thanks. We called our day “the best of the bad.â€
Wow! I'm lucky to have a day with you kids from time to time. And the older we get the more true is “Today is my best ski day ever.â€
Superb performance for the weight. Just another tool for trying not to lose sight of the kids. https://blisterreview.com/gear-reviews/2017-2018-scarpa-alien-rs
Those throwback photos always make me jealous (until I see that they are not recent. :) ) We had great easy skinning up a well set trak via Tye Mill to the patrol hut Saturday. Then nice 16†b...
Nisqually chute skied well today, no stone grinding. Freebird will likely post video tonight. Skiing below 7000' was surprisingly scratch free too, no overnight crust. The paved trail was not mel...
E-skis! When?
Yep. Tree skiing sub par. Creekbeds not filled in below 4000'. Weather too warm. Thanks for the details I could not have expressed so clearly.
On the other hand, Scott reported "Mt. Catherine Great day in the hood"
Oops, I should have checked the website, I'm not sure why I thought it was opening this weekend. Word to the wise, never trust an old guy.
Lift skiing at East begins tomorrow.
Indeed. Silver Queen white corn harvest is very good this year. I'm headed back up for day five tomorrow. Easiest access to 1000' of 30 degree slopes I know in June.
Walk 10 yards from the lodge, then skin.

WE did venture off the Nordic trails. Nice 6" fluff on a firm base below 4000'. Higher we found a bulletproof 1/2" ice crust on rocks, tree limbs, and sadly the surface belo...

Thanks Ed. The skies were blue for our west facing 1200' runs in 16" wind compressed but consistent powder. Hoping for more of the same today.
2000'+ of nice corn skiing was the real thing. :) 229 months.
Sorry to hear the skiing was suboptimal rc. Your report makes me even more thankful for my perfect three day trip last month! Thanks again Amar.
Wow, congrats on your persistence with Silver. Sorry it was not the busy celebration of bigger snow years gone by. Thanks for the report.
Nice chatting with you Don! Thanks for the track. We went to about 7500' on the Paradise Glacier where the rest of my posse finally agreed that the 4-6" of unconsolidated fresh snow might...
Washout can be driven around easily, and now the blocking log higher uphill is gone. Thanks Brian.
What snow conditions did you find for skiing?
When do YOU reach 70 years old?
Skiing is fun yep. You don't know if you don't go. Vertical farming Pacific Crest on perfect groomers was fine fun for an old geezer and a young Vertfester with excellent gear selectio...
