Top knackers. I reckon #3: the sideways-slider with the brakes on is the $$ shot.
Great report.

I think this might be a better $$ shot

Thanks - I love the contrast of sunny granite and a healthy snowpack.

Nice shots Radka! The clouds did provide some moody lighting throughout the day.

the timelapse has roughly 825 frames... assembled at 15fps... was surprised it isn't choppier at the low frame rate...24 or 30 fps is more typical.

i'm still not sure, although general snow conditions in the crater were definitely worse than on wy'east, newton, and what i've heard of cooper spur. i think there was a trip report on this forum a week or two ago from someone who was going to climb leuthold,...

I'm sure others who actually went up the Easton can confirm my guess here, but I'd think that way would have snowcover the whole way. We veered off onto the Scott paul trail once at the TH. As of last weekend you could park about a 10 minute walk from the TH. The Easton approach, from what I understand, is more in the open and has a deeper snowpack than the trail that switches up through the woods.

I use a Canon 60D. It has built-in timelapse function if you hack the firmwar...

What a gorgeous aurora! I really enjoyed your timelapse, too. Thank you for reminding me to watch out for the elusive auroras in the night sky and to experiment with timelapses.

It was really nice to meet you all on the mountain! I will post some pics later tonight.

How far do you have to hike to reach snow and start skinning for the easton glacier route?

Thanks!

Wow, excellent time lapse! What camera were you using? Does it have a time lapse function built in or did you use an attachment? Fresh battery?

I was originally wanting to do Furher Finger this weekend, but I could not find a partner for something that large. So, I sent out a few feelers for doing Baker car2car. Danny could only go Sunday so I pinged Jake and we locked in on Sunday. A day later, Loren asked me if I wanted to go up Saturday to Baker, so having already plans for being up there, I agreed and the thought of a 2x car2car came up.

Saturday morning around 3am, Loren and I left Issaquah, met up at the trail hea...

Good to intersect with you and David, Kenji. BTW, nice hands forward form David in those shots!

If one had the energy to haul overnight packs in, there could be some fun fixed base skiing up there now.

Thanks to the BoeAlps folks for putting those steps in the headwall just in front of me. Pace adjusted to allow the job to be completed. ;)

I love this, it's how I feel every powder day! This is how we know who the true skiers are at heart. It's about the turns, not the media.

How was the approach? Did you walk in via Fryingpan creek?

Frying Pan trail is pretty much bare all the way to the last log bridge with some snow patches. In general, much less snow than usual up until about 5000'.

Those were our tracks on the Savant. We entered and exited via Owyhigh. In between we skied from Banshee saddle and then booted up the adjacent steep face and skied to the bottom of the glacier. Your sixth picture is a great shot of our line and the black and white in the link is a nice shot of our tracks. Great, smooth, steep turns. From there, back up and over the ridge leading to Tamanos and out. Picture is from the top of the steep face. Spectacular day!
