Shortly after the Glacier Basin trail opened this year, while Glacier Basin was under about 10-ft of snow, we were asked by Rangers to move our tent (we had a permit for Glacier Basin overnight stay)....
And for some photo's.Here's a photo of the south climb on June 26thBuck in the SW chutes on June 25thBuck, Hambone and Evan at the bottom of the chutes
We were on top of Steamboat Prow and a little past noon watched 3 skiers descend. Perhaps one of the three dots visible near the climbing trail is you skiing down...
I skied the Slot and Crooked on Sunday with dozens of others. I bet more than 100 people skied it that day. I'm still somewhat in shock over how crowded it was there. I have to say I've neve...
Hey Jason, Once again you've posted an extraordinary report. I really like your long exposure night shots. The multi-color stars are cool, almost unreal. Is that night shot raw or enhanced? Thank...
Micheal,Look here.I go Tacoma to 7>12>23. From Tacoma the route via 23 is about 100 miles shorter than via Portland. It's about 140 miles one way from Tacoma to the south climb TH via 7>...
author=Mabie link=topic=4867.msg20578#msg20578 date=1149626474]This forecast was absolutely dead on. I had never heard this guy before but the person interviewing him said that he is on every Friday...
I was out there yesterday too. I concur with the fat ski comments. I now have 106mm underfoot. However, I hit more rocks and ground debris yesterday than I have all this season. Even the end of Novemb...
Baker Lake Road where Skagit County starts is a speed trap. I recently got a ticket there too. At the county line the speed goes from 50 after 10 miles to 35. I got nailed at 51 in a 35 - ouch and had...
The snow surface was quite rough and heavily suncupped/cratered all the way from the top, the heavy traffic of June and early July has bombed out the surface on this route worse than I've ever seen be...
Hey Dwayne,Coverage is a bit spotty now. I think there would be too much on/off/on of ski's for my liking right now. The south slopes of Hagan looked a bit dry too, but perhaps the right gullies could...
Mark: Thanks for the offer. Wickstad: I'm not aware that the peak in the foreground has a name. The terrain inspires more trips.
I'd guess it to be a 30-35 degree slope angle. The aspect was facing SE. It was baked by the sun all morning and got really heavy. I suspect the layer that slid was deposited in the dump about 10 days...
We we're a bit ahead of you, we left the summit at about 11:30am. One of the skiers in our party triggered some pretty large wet slab avalanches. He outskied it, but we (the other members in his party...
The snow pack on these sun exposed southerly slopes leading up to Cutthroat Peak seems a bit low. While skining up the steep slopes near 5700' I could see the ground at tree wells, so the depth was on...
Charles, I think we were above you, in other words behind your tracks. When we were descending (by the way we did yo-yo a few sections on the Russell that we liked) we came across two fresh tracks at...
Myself and two other telemarkers skied the Russell and Fleet on July 11th too. We skied from the top of the Russell (about 9990 ft) to the bottom of the Flett. I thought it was great. Smooth snow coul...
Great report. Looks like I'll try it this weekend, and thinking of camping out below the snow. Were bugs at the lower elevations an issue? Is mosquito netting advised?Thanks in advance.
