Kam - we looked at it yesterday. I believe it is actually both. There is debris below it. It looks like it release on the edge of the the classic upper paradise glacier crack.
We saw a few othe...
The bleepin radness!
We were on the success. Terrible conditions. We watched two of a group of four sit atop the kautz for over an hour waiting for the other two. Massive massive ice fall occurred off the upper Kautz whil...
Looked at your turns from Maple pass on Monday. Impressed! Puckering!
We did a similar after dark descent a couple of weeks ago from the base of the top cliff band. Tons of snow! Super fun.
Approach is hiking shoes for a few miles.
Had a similar experience 3 years ago on this line. We bailed due to instability. It's especially tricky in that the windows for it are narrow most years.
FB TAY seems to be a problem. I would g...
We followed your booter up later in the day, but came over via bryant. So much fun. Corn!
We tried 6/24-6/25. We started and your tracks and the glacier entrance for hours trying to figure out a way. I didn't see a skis on easy one from the ridge or below. We skied a similar line to you wi...
best groomer in washington!
My wife and I saw you walking out on Sunday as we were on our way up. Empty on Monday - skied off the top down the most direct couloir to the basin. No freeze unfortunately, but still skied pretty dar...
I've been eyeing this for some time. Have to get away from the volcano magnets!
Souring experience indeed! Those van trump snow fields look gooood early season too. I think early in the year, that seems to make more sense.
SKI THE PATCHES!
The corn!
I think the hazard was ridge top or near shallow wind slab on all but N and NE slopes with a mod rating? Correct me if my memory doesn't serve. We tip toed into it. Not a lot of evidence of...
Lovelovelove that low hanging early winter light
We had very similar conditions on the 16th. Skied out into Kendall AZ. Did have one skier triggered windslab release on us in the left side of the twins couloirs; 15cm deep and propagated wall to wall...
Spectacular! Always appreciate your updates and words
Lots of feels in this thread! I grew up in VT and lived there through college. Didn't get into touring until moving west, but have dabbled on trips and talked to friends back east. VT: Tear drop...
Skied inbounds this day. Saw someone trigger larger slab inbounds on davy jones. 2ftx50ft, pretty dramatic poof of snow right in front of ch2.
We went over to wright mountain across snow lake. Considerably better snow over there....strange. We also had lots of slow moving snow with each turn.....wet slough management? That was the most tired...
Jeeze, maybe I will have to truck it down there after all. That looks like fun
author=kamtron link=topic=36700.msg149546#msg149546 date=1467916155]Nice report, guys.Done for the season, or maybe have another in ya?Another! Summer is filling up, but I can sneak out still......so...
Bummed to have had to bail on this! Next time
Your photos are always incredible! Long time admirer
Yay to VT transplants!
Was up in silver basin on Sunday and boy was it a crazy rapid-cycle of weather change. Noticeable loading kept us off of the upper parts of 3way. Could not agree more with policy comments. I'm al...
Kam, that's be a damn fine day at MRG. Headed up manana to take a peek for myself
Hell yea! Anything at the summit is good news.
I'm pretty sure it's a western kid's truck. Wouldn't be too hard with something to push the snow up there and a winch. Got any pics of the twin lakes wash out? Wondering if my 4run...
