I have never understand the mentality of keeping things secret. Backcountry skiing doesn't need to be a derivative of surfer culture. We need community in order to advocate for new trailheads, access,...
This has been a discussion for as long as I have followed tay. My belief is it doesn’t matter what you post or don’t post, google earth and aerial photos reveal most lines for those who care to look....
Touring white pass with filbo is a guaranteed good time! 5 star rating!
To be fair that slope was spicy. Saw that and cut steps as best I could for 10 mins with my pole Lololol, then I took a nap.
No didn't actually go on the glacier, was just lazing about and escaping the heat. Wish I had camped like you though and brought skis!
Just went hiking on the same day, I’m a fake tayer that normally skips July and August (; Camping up there definitely seems the way to go for skiing purposes.
You forgot to mention the trailhead madn...
You are on a roll!
Stoke it up
The immediate terrain around Table is small when compared to Connaught at Rogers Pass. As anyone who has visited recently can tell you shits wild and it is only a matter of time until Strathcona repea...

Or you can get real creative and make a heat exchanger https://backpackinglight.com/forums/topic/98947/
Second what Charlie said, TAY is a useful archive. TR value is diminished when the image links rot away. If I wanted my TRs to disappear the next day I would just post to FB.
As of yesterday (probably got obliterated the day after this post) the pow is gone. It has returned to the more typical volcanic fare of ice, breakable crust, and schmoo. Skins on is already likely pu...
The road will probably only have a skiff of snow on it in the parking lot after this heat. There was snow just before the parking lot when we were there.
Jealousy is high. Any shots of the Emmons?
Well considering there were a lot of people who appeared to be using crampons for the first time I would say not that difficult. Around 15 steps on all fours with crampons and axe. There is a nice tro...
North aspects near granite were pretty good till we left around 3. Little snow on top of rain crust below 4500 ft. 8-10 inches at 5600
Lolololol Mirror Lake looking good!
Blackdog you can say in two sentences more then I can say in two paragraphs. If you practice elitism on the skin track this is what you are going to sound like to me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc...

Personally I would love to see more reports from the backcountry of Mt. Hood as I frequent the area. "Locals" fear of the "secret" spots becoming over run are quite overblown. Give...
At meadows with my touring gear in the car if anyone gets tired of the shit show let me know and we can go east to glorious burnt tree powder salvation.
Someone save me from having to ski at the resort tomorrow!! I desire the pow not the chop.
My teaching has been that trees are only a safe area if they provide full overhead canopy. Meaning no surface hoar, little wind effect, and the healing properties of getting tree bombed every so often...
O hey I stopped in to say hi to you guys when you were hanging out in the lodge. We went on to drop into the lower part of the bowl and did a couple laps on gunsight or whatever it is called... Upper...
Although it is easy to link to images off the site I think there is a strong argument for getting more storage. If you look back at old TRs those with broken links to old images have little value. Tho...
What jumps out to me is that you skied a highly convex slope while the others skied through the centre which doesn't have a convexity (or not as large of one?). Also you describe observing hard w...
We repeated Mt. Whymper on the 4th. Conditions were even better although the wind was starting to cause concerning consolidation of the snow at the col. We still ascended the same way up the north slo...
Well there are extremely low snowpacks in a lot of places in the interior but I think the pass and the icefields parkway are average at treeline. I was more referring to the recent spell of rain that...
