Skiing the Cascade Crest - Presentations was created by Lowell_Skoog
Several groups have asked me to present my program about skiing the Cascade Crest this winter.  The dates are settled and the host groups may post their own announcements eventually.  Most of these events are free, but at least one will be a benefit for the Northwest Avalanche Center and will have a modest admission charge.  See the link below for details and a promotional blurb:

www.alpenglow.org/ski-history/project/presentations.html

Fri, Jan 4 - Methow Valley Elementary School, Winthrop, WA 
Wed, Jan 30 - Central Washington University, Ellensburg, WA
Wed, Feb 6 - Skagit Valley College, Mount Vernon, WA
Thu, Feb 7 - Feathered Friends, Seattle, WA
Sat, Feb 9 - Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center, Wenatchee, WA
Tue, Mar 11 - The Mountaineers, Seattle, WA (daytime program, 12pm)
Wed, Mar 19 - Marmot Mountain Works, Bellevue, WA

The program includes slides of skiing the Cascade Crest between 1982 and 2007.  (For the full story, click here .) I'll also show clips from three movies:

"Ski Flight" - Otto Lang at Mt Baker in 1936
"Skiing Cascade Wilderness" - Chuck and Marion Hessey at Lyman Lake in 1956
"Skiing Above the Clouds" - Bob and Ira Spring on Mt Rainier in 1955

I'll also show some slides of a 2005 ski descent in the Glacier Peak Wilderness with my brother Carl and other friends.

I saw the presentation at the Mountaineers clubhouse before the holidays and right after Warren Miller.

It was no question which I enjoyed more!

Inspirational!

Hey Lowell,

Any chance of enticing you to come down south of the columbia? I think we could get a large crowd down here in P-town.
