but kind of afraid of scratching it as I plan to make it last for at the very least 5 years.

I've scratched my boards there a handful of times this season, twice to the core, it's not worth it.

Quiet?

Thanks for the replies guys! I'm looking to use my split board for the first time but kind of afraid of scratching it as I plan to make it last for at the very least 5 years. There so expensive! Looking like I might have to wait a while longer to use it. :(

the last 5 taking 30.

I hope i don't sound stupid but where is silver peak? Next to alpental?

We made it up to point 7789 for lunch after some shenanigans beneath Pan Point... I was able to skin 2/3 up and then kicks steps in ice with snowboard boots the rest of the way but my partner was not so lucky (it was his first day skinning!).

Rode from 7789 to McClure Rock and then bailed towards Mazama Ridge for some glorious steep turns in soft snow at about 1pm. Made a quick lap back up to McClure Rock and then followed the same line down and all the way out to Edith Creek bridge.<...

Love the dog shots. Looks like a keeper of a beast.

Moxie getting faceshots! How's Walker, is he still getting out? He must be 14 or 15?

Believe it or not, Moxie is currently my best ski dog.  Walker is still the best athlete, but he is so deaf that if he gets ahead and I want to turn, I'll lose him.

Aaron I'm going to head back up again tomorrow late morning to check what damage thi...

Best tracks I've seen in a while! Very jealous. All of  the Blewett looks like your see through track out. Might go hike another Cashmere brown hill...

Avajane, these two were trying to point out that the listed date is wrong, but apparently they were too subtle. You can edit the original post's date to December 22 using the same "modify" function which you used to edit the post, although you'll need to reattach the attached images.

Thanks for the conditions report.

Not...

Bummer. You missed it by a day. Sat turned out to be so much better than expected. No crust, no rain, and much better coverage in the boulder fields. Kind of heavy wet 7" at the road became more like a foot higher up, and skied pretty well. Morning had a lot of moisture in the air, but by afternoon some kind of suction from the east started drying things out and the snow actually improved. Made a big day of it and didn't get to the car until after dark.

Thanks for posting the pics.  Right up until I saw those I had myself convinced that it would be worth going to ski the "slippery snow."  I called my buddy at 6:30AM and called it off.

My pain - your gain. You're welcome.

... We were so wet and cold we went inside the Visitor Center and enjoyed a $26 lunch of two bad, boiled hot dogs on crusty, 3 day old rolls, and a couple of 12 ounce cans of Rainer Beer...

LOL.  Typical conscessionaire fare.  The only good concessionaire food I've had was at Mt. Hood's Timberline Lodge; they had quite a chef there for a while...

You were able to teleport to the future and ski! We gotta hook up, I need to learn how to do this to see future park closures!

Looks like a fun trip overall :)

You should go right to Paradise tomorrow. You'd love it!

For the most part all of the hosts have their favorite spots to play.

Could you sharpen the claws??? ;)

mac… Check out the 2 videos of Ed dropping the knee on flickr.  He's mastered it.

Stellar---love the summit cloud on Tahoma, too.

Ed, the second pic shows you still have the freeheel soul  8)

Wow, that's way better than I would've expected ... thanks for sharing, Randy.

Damn dudes this looks stellar. Excellent style in excellent conditions.

Heh.
Of course. I need all the handicap I can get.

Hey John,

Did you really ask this of scott... "Did you have to navigate by headlamp at all?"

Good point.  It was in inside joke actually.

Scott… Sounds like you had an adventure… I'd definitely love to join you next time.  Sorry I didn't have the time to devote to the epic, but I have to say Crystal BC dished out the goods for Ed and me  ;D

Not to rub it in… Just wanted to point out that there are two different kinds of adventure.
