I assume you are wondering about the ice climbing conditions?:) Cosley-Houston is not in, the upper pillar is super thin and has not touched down, the lower pitches look pretty thin too, same on the Polish route...

indeedy.
thank you guys for replies. -veronika

Lassen was one of my favorites on the volcano tour last spring. Can't wait to get out there this winter and hit some of the smaller peaks. I read the Shasta was one of the few places in the world where glaciers are actually increasing in size, thanks to increased precip.

Just some late-season follow-up on this avalanche, which occurred at the start of July 2013 near 8000 ft on the Whitman Glacier.

For reference, here are a couple of photos copied from the first post above, showing the still-fresh avalanche site on July 3:

Beautiful pic Matt, and welcome back to the snow-sliding.

Thanks Marcus, I am glad to be back. Looking forward to the white stuff this year, especially come April and the corn harvesting can begin!

p.s. eventually we will connect via email!

What about getting through the lower angle moraine part, had enough snow collected in the lee?

After the rocky sections on the top we where able to ski the rest of the way out. Just enough on the lee...We skinned out earlier than usual cause the lower moraine part was full of sharks ::)

Here are a few pics...

Nice. For the snowfield part you were often about where I was a day before. I had looked at the Chute both on approach and from the top and didn't think it would go without a lot of threading through the rocks (hadn't seen any tracks down it either, I guess nobody wanted to be the first P-Tex Poodle). Your video didn't exactly change my mind about the rocks, but the turns on the quarterpipe windlip did look nice. What about getting through the lower angle moraine part, had enough...

Thanks much MattT! Good chatting with you too. And of COURSE I stuck with the Tutu. That thing is a skiing staple my friend.

author=Jeff Huber link=topic=29379.msg123501#msg123501 date=1382390205]Fantastic ski day. The day also marked my 10th year of continuous TAY.

Congrats!
This would have been such a perfect way to reach that milestone, and it would have been such a perfect reenactment of our October 2007 Adams summit ski, except for one missing element: me. (Sigh...)

Oh well, snow guns are blasting away at Killington for a weekend lift-served...

The leftmost track was my doing

I can take claim to that center track, getting a little playful, and that mess of skin tracks...

We were up there on the 19th during the day in the sun.
Sounds like the same conditions you...

Thanks for the report. Feeling blessed by whatever cosmic lottery that brought me this enjoyable place. For those languishing in the fog-bound nether regions of the Puget Sound basin(like me last weekend in Lakewood), respite is only a drive toward the passes away.

+1 for all of the above. I woulda called it pseudo-corn, but man was it enjoyable, ripping fast!
No clouds, no wind, huge views and temps that rivaled madison beach on a hot Seattle day. So perfect I had to ski shirtless...it's October?! I froze my ass off up there in August.

Great trip with a great groups of guys. Can't wait to ski with everyone again!

Also, for anyone passing through here in the future, this TR should be listed as "Skyline Divide"

That was classic - thanks for adding some more color to camp!

I was the gal in the tutu going for 24-months, and this TR is spot on. The snow was great and skiing was fast and fun! I agree with the TR from the 20th as well - you want to head down earlier than later and there was a lot of melt even over the course of the day. I swear it must have been 80-degrees by the time we hit the top of Pan Point. I was skiing in shell pants and a tank top and was still super warm.
