Good Stuff!

I go to school and ski with Eric, and can attest to his masochistic sense of pleasure. Last year he climbed and skied Mt Baker as well as the North Twin, biking to TH's from bellingham. He is a beast.

Awesome shots! thanks for introducing me to heather ridge, I've got a whole new zone to explore now.

the lake looks covered but i'm sure there are lil fissures to water still around.

It's "Windy Knob."

I love that line.  The run down to Snow Lake can get pretty wind blown - was that the concern?  With the warm weather we had until 2 weeks ago, then the heavy snow, is Snow Lake rock solid to cross?  I would think so, but haven't seen much on that yet.

Gary, Jan, Jeff and Mack... thanks for the excellent time.  What an excellent trip... even the trail breaking was fun :)

I'll post some pictures soon once I emerge from the holiday clean up  ;D

Your pictures are outstanding.  Would have paid top $$ to join an outing with conditions like this.  Good on ya.

Nice trip Father! You're right though, pictures not that great due to constant snowfall and powder skiing. Life's rough eh?! Look forward to getting those long legs of yours to break some trail next week in the lovely PNW!

If Silas or Charlie ski many more days in a row, I'm going to pull my hair out with jealousy.  Merry Christmas to all the prolific skiers!

I really enjoyed your website,  I'm a regular up at Baker with alot of years spent in the backcountry.  I'm starting to explore across the border and find your postings helpful.  Do you ever go up to the huts around Pemberton?  I would love to get some insiders info.

Susan and I overnighted at Wildcat Lakes. Real TR to follow.

Skiing good on all aspects where sheltered. Last night's snow didn't bond all that well, saw two shallow natural slides on that interface, probably triggered by rock/tree plops. Best skiing S of Gem lake; sluffs ran easily 15 inches down.


Cresting the Snow Lake Divide by moonlight was sublime.  Huge thank you for the skintrack at the end of a long day!

Merry Christmas all!

We skiied saturday in the resort and there were no lift lines and no traffic on way home, kind of strange. heather ridge looked deserted too.

Sounds like you were on East Peak. We followed your tracks on Sunday and but were slow enough for only one lap down into Bullion Basin. Snow was fantastic, can't wait to go back.

Looks sick!!!

Good to see enough coverage on the lower elevation objectives, if the temps keep low enough it opens up more options. Thanks for sharing.

Take a camera next time Cornelius ;)

Probably a decent call Doug -- sounds like a bunch of the Leavenworth based Stevens employees couldn't get up the highway.  The resort was empty and they weren't spinning all the chairs, at least in the morning...

Stevens seems to have gotten more of the last storm cycle than Snoqualmie, for sure.  Damn good coverage for December.

L****n calling, yeah, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!

;)

Nice, Marcus. Sounds like a good day for you.

David and I are two that headed elsewhere after hearing of limited lift service at Stevens. We went to the chairs at Snoqualmie, which really weren't that crowded for a holiday weekend.

Saw Zap and friends working some nice lines.

Looking around Snoqualmie, I think we need a couple more storms to really fill things in.
