July 13, 2008: Mt Adams wildfire, Cold Springs TH closed

. . . you can zoom in on my toe piece, which has a girth-hitched loop of purple-colored 3mm accessory cord attached via a cable tie to a simple plastic hook, which then clips to a wonderfully color-coordinated orange ski lift ticket loop on my orange F3 boots.

Anyway, we skied the SW Chutes starting around noon (after I skied the summit in some of the worst snow I've ever experienced), then downhiked a bit to the RMT.

(Full TR to follow eventually -- the other three days were on Hood.)

Sorry now that I didn't connect.

From the GPNF website: Access to Mt. Adams South Climb to Reopen this Weekend

But it's probably too late for any good skiing on the south side, I'd guess that it's likely to be heavily suncupped and runneled. Maybe the Mazama Glacier could still be decent? Hopefully someone will go check it out this weekend and post . . .
