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?

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.

Absolutely beautiful camera work and editing, strong work all around!
Was wondering what sort of trouble you'd chosen for yourself this year Crispin! Stoke definitely felt.

How was the traverse back to the car? Last time I skied the chutes we overshot our traverse point and had to hike 500ft through slide alder.
Adams locals like to ski as far down Morrison Creek as there is snow, then hike the open timber to the campground. Of course that requires a car shuttle, or hitch hiking back up to Cold Springs parking.

Heading down for a summit/SW chutes attempt on Wednesday. Thanks for the awesome TR. Laughed out loud at the "carnage" caption.

Nice Work Gentlemen!
Would I could have been with ye… great adventure! Keep me on the list for your crazy long adventures.
And I see a set of TX pros, another tele skier?

I enjoyed seeing the photos on hipstergram, looks like some good corn!
Well done. Thanks for posting the beta and stoke! We've had a good spring/summer so far.
Sweet story! Awesome area. I had that same experience on backbone ridge last year. Stressful indeed. I could feel your excitement when the clouds lifted… nothing like it. I'm jealous of the views you got off of Isolation which I have yet to enjoy as our whiteout took us through the neve glacier.
I like the Sahale Summit variation.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice TR, too bad que car closed, I might have been reduced to tears were I in that position.
The tree well picture nearly made me spit my coffee in to the keyboard!

Nice job you guys! I was super bummed to miss this one -- life doesn't get much better than a comfy camping mission on a mild Rainier evening.
Stoked for your ankle and your spandex, Kam!

Thanks for the comments. Yes, seeing the clouds lift that last day was the highlight of the trip. In fact, I have a photo of the exact moment it happened. JackB got so excited, he somehow managed to lose his balance and fall backward into a tree well. I made sure to snap a photo before helping him out. That's what partners are for.
