Was there a little later. Right around 3PM a scraper cloud came through and very suddenly whited out the upper snowfield. Really spooky how fast that can happen when the winds are commuting the surrou...

Have been meaning to check out Pugh just as a hike. Also have been intrigued by the ski possibilities of that glacier, see a report on it every couple years. Mostly with the long damn ways for turns a...

I was the skier you met at the bottom of the run where the Park gets nearly flat (hi).From that marvelous moment of clearing on, it was never clear again for the next 4 hours, and got steadily cloudie...

Way to get back on em!Someone in your last picture is wearing neon tights that would have been very in fashion for bouldering in the eighties and early nineties, about the timeframe that I last did an...
Sunset shift, missed you.Not sure if the Scotts Dairy Freeze double cheese I had while gearing up was fuel, or ballast.Snow was nice. West slope to Annette was really excellent. Thanks to the pair tha...
Toured up Creek Run @ East with XCD gear, approx. 4 PM, getting the last goodness out of that sunshine. Snow was at perfect softness then both for turning and for up-traction with scales only. Scooted...
Interesting. Makes me wonder where the east-west line is for the presence of brutal raincrust, gloppage and other ill effects of the Monday night warmup. Clearly Blewett was far enough. But anything c...
I was up there later in day, was wondering what army had left all those tracks at the top, and how they got there, when I hadn't seen a continuous skin track until I was 90% to the top on the wra...
Nice pix (here and there). I've never made it any further that ways than the approx. center of the Wells drainage, need to make it all the way out on the ridge someday. Gives a good vantage. Lasi...

THOSE Vikings have gone soft, pursuing a stadium with a roof. Hardly worthy of "We come from the land of ice and snow" and not in keeping with their NFC-North rivals GB and CHI , who embrace...
Nice. For the snowfield part you were often about where I was a day before. I had looked at the Chute both on approach and from the top and didn't think it would go without a lot of threading thr...

Wow. A well-imagined descent well-timed. And beautiful pix.
Now that is turns earned hard!HATE that Cougar Divide road. I still blame that road for frying the manifold and headers of my Subaru Forester about 5 years back, relentless first gear climbing without...
Saw that phenomenon also from my Paradise Gl trip July 13. What you saw there perhaps a match to what I guessed would be from afar: a slope below typical avalanche angle and in snow much too recycled...

Not that I'm a regular, but the route that seems easiest is similar to the summer trail but with shortcutting involved in places where the summer route takes maddeningly long switchbacks or waste...
Nice video. Watching the snow fly out from under your heelsides is worth a thousand words as far as telling what the snow conditions were like that day. And that snow looked pretty damn good. Love tha...
Dusk patrolled Pilchuck today. Right in your tracks a few times I'm sure (even noticed the exact point where you decided to go up again rather than down). Sadly I had no time for bonus lap. If I...
Dusk patrol shift. Showers rolled in around 6 and gave me a good soaking for half hour. Paused on Pettigrew Porch to dry out and make go-nogo decision but weather didn't strike again despite thre...
John / pinnatifid thank you for bringing some facts to the discussion. The "where does the money go" question is really essential to getting to an understanding one way or another. If no fac...
