Ha, no problem. The photos in the original post were cropped from a single shot. I should've posted it to save you the trouble!

I was up there the last couple days and it was still pretty damn good, very small bumps (not cups), no real stickiness. We booted up to the ridge from 4th Crossing, but with a couple carries could ski down to within a 5 min. walk of the car (without meadow mashing).

Nice post. Good to see some CO posts. Did my first summit/ski about a week earlier July 5. Yes, melting out quick. I skied the snowfields skier right of Lewis. I got about 3,500 skiing in. Wow! the view looking north from the summit is something on a clear day.

...(Mike connected this to the lake drainage last year?). Hinman itself looked great, I guess maybe next year...

It was this same weekend last year that Coron and I made it over to Hinman. Pea Soup Lake was melted further last year than this at the same time. Here is the route we used to get to Hinman. It was a fine alternate route. ...

The sunset photo is a winner, as are the moonset/sunrise photos from your second day in your album.

Must've been a pleasant trip!

Was up there yesterday. 4th crossing start still has plenty of snow to ski within 20 steps of road. Awesome day with no one else on route all day- solitude. Sticky up high and then minimal suncups/old ski tracks. The softness still made it smooth. Crevasses were few and easily negotiated. Go get it and have fun.

That solo skier was me going back to my camp below East Peak. Too bad we didn't meet, but did cross ski tracks! Yes, skiing was good and the Moon was big. And nice Sunset/Sunrise, too. I'll post some pix later.

Nice turns, Kenji. They caught the sun just right for us. The couple you met on the summit told us about the really fast tele skier that we...

This was such a great trip that it's hard to pinpoint a highlight, but two come to mind, first was Ben's blank stare to (after the approach was complete)... "so which bivy did you bring?"...<...

There are a number of thin sections below Mazama ridge that will be gone in a day or so, if not already. Still, the glacier will be reachable and rideable with only short carries for a while yet.
Get some!

We spent Friday-Sunday on the Russell and Flett. I thought about posting a few pictures, but they would be a complete let down after watching that video. Nice Work!!!! On second thought, expectations be damned. Here's a couple with a different perspective just because:

Great report, and timely, too, since I'm thinking of heading that way soon. However, I'm confused about something: you said "last call", yet you can still ski to within 20' of the (presumably 4th x'ing) TH. I'm not sure how to interpret that. Admittedly it can become a PITA to trudge over the talus and moraines around the bottom of the Paradise in late summer, but it should be skiable all year, right? We skied it on the last day of Augus...

Yeah, ski from the car with tourists at Muir, or hike 3K to ski with goats at Sahale.

Couple more goat pics, and a grouse?

Yep,
That's a male Blue Grouse.

Sounds like you were able to ski down to 6500ish? Just 3000'ft of hiking to get to snow? Not too badLOL

Way to move and get after it. Do you think there is any chance SW of Middle will still be skiable in 1-2 weeks when I am back home?
There is some okay beach bouldering here in Puerto Vallarta but it's probably not worth bringing the skis..... :'(

Things are melting super fast there. I was lucky to get what I got. It was quite hot...
