And rock climbing is a way to get to the top of particularly intriguing ski lines!
Nice report, Silas...
Rocks are merely obstacles to be avoided in the skiing process.

The mushroom in your photo looks like a "false morel" to me. Not edible.
Nice pics!

I use Firefox also and had to disable the addon "Image and Flash Blocker". Worked fine afterwards and was fun to watch. Thanks Lowell.

Hey Jason,
I bumped into you at Baker in the parking lot a few days before. You said you were going in the Blum side. Any reason you go that way instead of from Bacon?
Dwayne, yeah. I've been up the blum approach 3 times and down it 5 times. Down has always been epic and up not that bad. I wanted to traverse through the area and choose to get the worst...
Their fox sighting is notable -- has anyone else seen foxes on Rainier above 13k?
Dee Molenaar reports bears, porcupines, and ground squirrels here, but anything larger than a mouse or marmot is a surprise!

Thanks Stefan! This is the first video I've ever shot and it was fun to edit it.

btw
the vid doesn't play in firefox (works fine in other browsers), comes up "no video with supported format and MIME type found" (lagging in the html5 support apparently)
could add this:
AddType video/webm .webm
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
to the .htacces...
thanks for the report. Looks like good conditions and good times!
vicarious enjoyment at its finest, most excellent indeed!
Looks good!
Interesting to see the 75 year differences around Baker in the Watson footage. Current conditions of the Colfax glacier for example seem to stack up pretty well to 1939 conditions.
The gps segment is funny...
Liked the accompanying music too... Isarwinkler Landler... if you ever happen to find yourself in Munich in the Summertime they'd surely play this on an Isar-Flossfahrt. Bring a swimsuit on a hot day. Or just...

Cool video, thanks for posting. A dilemma that many of us struggle with indeed.

Dave thanks for the response, cant wait, weather is looking good, hoping for corn!
Great trip and video guys. Really enjoyed watching it
Excellent work Jason et al.! Really enjoyed watching. Mega good vibes
Glad everyone enjoyed. It was different to try and take photos and video. Usually the video was taken right after a photo, or in the case of skiing, it was when the light wasn't as good. In the end I was surprised how well it turned out considering. Hopefully soon I will get a floating head for my tripod and that will allow for some very cool footage.
Gregg, I will get a map over to you.
As for the music, Adam is the man to thank for that.

Nice meeting you at the TH. We were the guys who spent a couple of nights above the pass. Even with all the rain and no viability (until we pack up to head out), it seems both our groups had a great time.
Fun watching you ski down. You don't know until you go what the weather holds.
Good luck with the VW.
Great chatting in t...
"your rocky spine" is a special song to me! great to see it in your video.
Wow, that is steep - and colourfull, top knackers!
Wow,
I've got to echo Stefan; the music, 'backwoods tranquility' is spot on. Wow again, the terrain!

Awesome.
To get video like that in some of those shots you need "actors" and tell them to wait....and then...go!
You also have some setups to get the right overall angles. Different than still photography.
Also, your choice of music adds a great tone to the deeper feeling of serenity, and a kind of "backwoods" tranquility.

Good day out.! How early in the day did you hit the trailhead? That Colchuck trail hurts my knees - but at least I know the shortcut.
Most bestest TR's on here and TGR - one dude was doing serious full pack hucking!
Jason and gang,
I watched that last night when it was posted on FB. Wonderful effort and inspiring documentation. Adam is the master of the glide crack huck! How about a google map with a line on the route? I would love to see your actual route. Thanks again for sharing that vid. It was quite an enjoyable watch.

Kerwin, the corridor was in good condition as well. You have plenty more time left before the cracks on the Emmons route open up. Good luck.
Good times had by all.

Heck ya! Solid work Jason and co!
Hands down, the best I have ever seen on TAY. Way to set the bar high. You hippies rock!
Cool! Couldn't imagine taking a bus to ski a cascade volcano.
Stunning cinematography, what a great way to capture an amazing trip!
Nice! That's " Pure Sexual Energy" right there!
"What are you doin?"
"Eating your nuts out of the snow."
Awesome, Jason!

Yep Eric, that's the line. Glad you guys enjoyed. Super fun to film between some pics. Added some fun.
Got any more shots of the emmons corridor? Looking to make a run up/down the emmons on skis this weekend and any photos would be good beta.
