My last hurrah in the NW culminated with a jaunt up South Sister after scrapping my plans at the choppy and sloppy Bachelor. Here's the TR

For folks like me who were hoping to see a TR rather than a link, here's the useful info copy-and-pasted:

Run 1: I descended the glacier with an audience of onlooking hikers to a small glacial lake with an incredible view. The snow was too suncupped to be all that enjoyable, but the glacier water made it all worthwhile. Began again to downclimb.
Elevation: ~660'

Run 2: Found another stretch of snow to ski, this one was just at enough of a different aspect to make it nice and corn snow which was fun to ski. I had followers this round, a group of "bros" came down after me on their boots.
Elevation: ~485'
