Beautiful!
Definitely spring now. I never put a coat on in the 4 days we were there. I haven't been to McCully, but my impression is that Norway has more interesting terrain with lots of steep l...
Try dropping in mid bowl (near the sun 3rd pic). It's a great tour. We only had 1 car, so would stash running shoes at the slate river TH and have a cool down jog back to town/Kebler...
Not super deep, and a month ahead of most picture dates. Look how much more of Russell cliff is already out in 2015.Here's a shot from the prow on 6/2/2013:
That's awesome, glad you got it! Looks like you guys took a much more direct route than us. Wish we could've done that, but the rapid warming had us avoiding the south faces for...
We did a lap down Edelweiss bowl. It was the best run of the day. Boot deep pow and bluebird conditions! One of are party scraped off a windblown 30' wide slope, very shallow (4...
I've been planning for years to get up on green whenever the road opens up. Thanks for the post Kevin, I'm frequently led astray in when I interpolate conditions from Gold Hill and Lym...

Many good posts here, thanks to the OP for contributing and making this a more meaningful review that is based on your account.Cookie, I'm sure you only intended the best by your post, but it rea...
Rad! So did you get any turns in on the north side or did you stop at the saddle? It'd a great basin, but I figured the snowpack was still too thin. Good to know it's in en...
Very cool. That couloir looks like a nice mix of mountaineering. Keep exploring!
Looks like a gem of day! Thanks for the snowpack update.PS. I hope Volken's new book finally lists this tour. It's gonna be the new slot! ;)
Cool. We were in there on Saturday. Took the tree-farm and didn't think it was that bad, we even skied down it. The pond looked pretty blue in the center, so we hugged the edges...
Thanks for the update. That doesn't sound too bad given the snowpack. Keep doing those snow dances...
No worries about the car this time, we were the only tracks in/out of the parking lot. On our way in we did have to clear a 60' alder that had come down blocking the road. Someone had...
author=bs. link=topic=29940.msg125497#msg125497 date=1386707453]thanks for opening my eyes to a new line! (i had to check out your old TR to get the details).what's that steep gully-strewn face s...
That's awesome, nice run!!! I've had that on my list for several years and been in the basin a couple times but conditions didn't warrant an attempt. It's good to know...
Wow, no need to traverse for solitude when the gates closed! Pretty sweet to have that all to yourselves
bikes or no bikes, it's always a crazy day when you have skis on the middle fork! Nice job actually getting some fun turns in, that's not easy.Snow level at 2500' is good to know,...
That site is awesome, but at first I was overwhelmed. It's got so many areas called out that it's tough to get a general sense of where to go. It's like having 40 named runs...
Fantastic! Coffee makes those long days go by easy. Too bad about the battery, but somethings got to keep you on your toes :)
That looks nice back in there! Gotta be pretty lonesome in winter, even with other sledders out.
Yeah, we headed back to our skintrack and saw that the snowshoers had destroyed it. So I started to whine, but then ran into one of them peeing in the middle of the track. ???Just gotta l...
awesome! There's so much cool stuff in the Olympics, keep it coming!
funny thing I was staring at that logging road on a map last week wondering if it was a brilliant or stupid idea... If you need a partner next time shoot me a pm.
Hey Art! Good to see you're earnin' a few turns in all that private Meany pow stashWe need to get out this spring, a little birdy told me we shared some common objectives ;)
The snow looks like it's amazing still! Plewman is sweet! The locals there are really friendly and it's a great location. The new lift on Grey next year is going to push th...
That's a great area. Did you go north or south? We made a quick powder stop there a few years ago. Wish we had more time...What do you think of those bighorn maps? Pretty...
i thought lone tree pass might be skiing well right now, way to go get it! That waterfall looks awful.nice job getting out on the loop!
no windslab? not very cohesive?
