I was one of the four that you met on the mountain that day. Thanks for the brief hello.

We continued for a while past the point we met you to about 6200ft, but did not climb any higher due to lack of visibility. We were a few hours too late!

Looks like a great trip Lowell!  Thanks for the fun write up.  I like the photo of Tom skiing on Aasgard Pass with the lake in the background.  That track photo on Snowcreek Glacier is great too. 

LOVELY!

Cool TR and Photos.  That was my "plan B" in my head for the day... It looks like the sun was shining and the skiing was good all over east of the crest!  I happened to steal of couple of Wenatchee locals and convince them to head north.  ;D

How did the coverage look on Copper, Iron  and Pyramid?

lots of rib therapy yesterday!

You must have fed the flux capacitor some plutonium today, or was that tomorrow?

Booyah Pete!
Hopefully there's still time for us to get out for a slide this year.

Awesome!

It makes me smile when folks get naked for normally non-naked activities.

Nice link up!

Wondering if you climbed back onto the Turtle higher than shown in your picture?

Man, that upper headwall dropping from Pt. Success down the Kautz looks like the $ shot. Sweet!

Thanks Tabski. We felt pretty darn privileged! Good question on the Turtle, a pice I left out but is important beta for anyone wanting to access the to...

Freeheelvegan and I just watched that together.  That is fricking awesome!  Loved it!

right on, Pete, was wondering what you'd be slaying in those parts.

Does look steep. Nice work!

Great pics.  Just looking at that bootpack makes my toes sore.

Awesome Awesome Awesome!  Beautiful pics.  Makes me wish I was there right now (of course right now I think it is raining up there).  Awesome.

If you ever find out who else was up there, I'd be interested to hear about it.

I’ve always looked at that line … so visible when climbing the CD. I believe it gets skied/ridden occasionally. A couple of years ago a local (Glacier) splitboarder (Woods, or something like that) told me he had done it.

Last week (May 13) was the first time I had...

Looks like a pretty big 'schrund to air out at the bottom of the Thunder Glacier Headwall.
That's some mighty fine steep skiing you're doing!

Myself and others have noted that the alpine (above 6,000 ft.) this year is much more open and exposed than normal.  It would be wise to be careful in the alpine in the Baker area as the snowpack cov...

Solid trip!
Did you loop back to Muir to pick up your stuff or just run light and hump it?

In some ways the big R looks more filled-in now than it did a month ago.

It appears that he is putting the squeeze on their ribs... :D

So you parked at the start of the peak road to the top?  Nice report--thanks!  Nice pics too...

rlsg--yep, parked right at the Paulina Peak Road snow gate. I'll bet by this weekend, the road will be open. Park by where the Crater Rim Trail crosses the road. Unless one is a local and skis the chutes all the time (which I'm not) it's nice to be able to...

Great day riding with you all today!  Post some of those pics. :)

SWEET!!!!!!!

@Steve, Ummm, he said morning sun dude, we were there at 8pm.  ;D

BTW, corn was PERFECT at that time in the evening.  There may be walking at the bottom after today...

Thanks for the PSA, this area is a special local gem indeed!

Now that the Silver Peak gang-bang is officially going to kick-off with the 'drive-able to almost pass level' announcement, please remember to be good stewards when the parking lot parties start moving up onto the slopes and N. ridge.  The last two seasons in particular have allowed our crew to ski out an unfortunate amount of trash, which included the obvious beer cans & bottles, food packaging and my fav...
