I want to keep it a secret. But its called Ski Heil pk.! The ridge extending SW has Eagle Pk., Ski Heil Pk, Diller and Tehama. Ski Heil means good luck !which is what we got, for Sep. turns (down Sout...
- thanks, Mark. Timberline emailed me saying they usually have enough snow to make it to August. He didn't give any specifics about stockpiling. It is called the Palmer Snowfield -- and no...
- that sounds and looks like Folgefonna. Unless there is another summer skicentre in the North ? I put in a report last year at this time. That snow looks killer ! It looks like the same kickers on th...
re - Telemon ! I emailed Timberline (Mt Hood) and inquired how they keep their snow ?? on the Palmer snowfield. Hopefully they'll reply, probably not. It's on their webcam !
if you'd like I can send you an 8X10, of the week before with a cool cloud cap, and this wk. of clear sky. I first need a digital, (next season) and I think I can send to the website, from...
- what a great Marmot shot. Looks as though he's been at that rock before ! I guess they like the sun as well as the overcast. I skiied a bunch at Lassen. They lick the asphalt for dumped out sod...
- shoot, that patch looks as if it needs a curvy road sign ! I was just on Shasta and you would dig the patch on Brewer Crk., but it goes straight.
- I'm wondering how the cups got firm. It seems a bit early to become firm, as you guys have been getting hot weather. I could see if a cold front came through, and cooled the West Coast down (wh...
- thanks Dan, they say you're on Cascade Climbers. I was checkin' it. I can squeak out turns into the start of Aug. & Mammoth opened Nov. 2nd - so that's 9 months, about avg. ...
- luv those rpts. why are you 'piste', when you're off-piste - enjoy !!
- Dawson's idea of "scrappy" is contention or rivalry. "What the volcanoes offer in fun they equal in challenge", LD '97. * happy turnin'
- it don't get much wetter than the 'Pineapple' slamming into the NW. And the (summits) are getting rime-plastered with 'summer snowpack'. glad you appreciated the rpt.
- Mr Miller, I am also a Miller and my brother/fam. are from Portland. That's an excellent rpt., I 'll have to read again about the 'crux'. The shot of th...
- I liked the skins, for the Coombas, hangin' off the 'backside'! And the sunny skies.
- Superb, glad you lucked out with the weather, & the aerial photo was another good bonus.
- just a tip, the run that continues below the upper chute, has a more consistent fall-line than looker's right of the Hotlum/Wintun ridge. it is obvious at the bottom, where to traverse back to...
- Stugie, just a regular 32 inch (Powell) with old school size wheels
- thanks for the first account history! any highway, in or by the mountains, is a great thing. I put the rpt. on Tioga Pass highway (CA 120 ) last wkend !
- or I've heard it called Lilly's Lace. I've been skiing some of that stuff this week, down in the Sierra, on Mammoth Mtn. I called it 'window pane' or bro...
that's actually called Gaylor Pk. , and there are the Gaylor Lakes, with its summer trail. it's a good and easy ski around that side of the road. ...
silas, that's some cool stuff. love to see those flags wavin' nice reports
- you can check the snow totals at CDEC, go to April's #'s. Northerly aspects have winter snow above 9,500 ft. The winter snow typically sticks around through May. ...
Thanks for the photo. I'm not digital yet. That run is definitely a classic slope for instability. I typically ski the area to the left and lower, Proletariat, which doesn't have th...
That's some real dedication. The photos of your skinning is too much ! I believe the couloir has an angle of 40 degrees. It's the upper part of it that loo...
Thanks for the good snow rpt. I'll let ya know if we get some before you guys do (Sierra - Tahoe) area.
Thanks for the beautiful report. I have a sentimental part of me that can relate a bit more than'regular' skiers. I had a pr. of Atomic shorties, a...
- by the likes of your reports Dan, I would think that your descents are well calculated. Thanks for the inspiring report ... Rob
- that was a trippy, liittle trip report; it's always a good idea to know how much softening has occured - especially in those couloirs, Cheers !
Dan, that first shot is very impressive. Are you gonna go back into Canada and ski some of those lines. I went to Norway and you can ride a t-bar for some 'intermediate terrain', over...
thanks for the replies, I'LL HAVE TO ASK MY COUSIN re the pass up there. I WOULD LIKE TO GO THERE AGAIN IN AUGUST ! ********
