Cold. But a bit warmer and more pleasant above the inversion. Minimal wind.

looks nice!

I was wishing for facial hair today, so cold.  Hope you can ski tomorrow, Aaron.

Dude, what happened to the porn stache? I skipped today, got a little frost nip on the cheeks and nose yesterday.

Nice! The skiing sure is great right now.

Your pictures are, awesome.  Awesome.

Potential Tatooshers take heed, the road from Stevens Canyon Jct to the E end of Reflection lake was plowed sometime in the past 2-3 days.

Can't see how plowing the reflection lake road would have helped the budget ???
But it sure would take away from winter recreation by XC skiers and snowshoers and backcountry skiers accessing the Tatoosh ??

lil nash looks cold.

Nice pictures.

Did you essentially follow the summer trail before you gained the southern ridge? 

Yes. We were able to skin but at this point, especially after we down-hiked it, its probably easier to boot up.

WTF?  Probably did not have much to do during the 3 sunny days the park was close...

Nice Glenn, great to see you back on skis so quick!  Are you up this weekend?

Worth it may be a bit subjective.   The coverage in most of the other places is certainly better but it's a further drive, the rain crust is pretty pronounced under the top veerrry light 6-8" new snow and requires a feather light touch or low angle collection zone not to hit it, and it makes for difficult skinning without crampons.

The MAN is back!

Just got them and so far so good. I skied both good and bad powder and they were as good as anything I've skied. I think their waist is 108 and the previous widest ski I've owned was a 98 waist (Salomon Sho Guns). For me the sweet sport is somewhere in this area. They are very light. On hardpack in the ski area, they feel light with very little cush. A bit shaky on ice, but I am not used to even a little bit of rocker. I closed down Seppo's on the last day there and lucked into fr...

Dual-listing telemetry outputs (with fractional degrees C to preserve resolution) would be a nice, lossless step in that direction (and friendly to Canada). When considering questions of water and s...
