Beautiful day up there. Not too warm. A little less snow than July 4 last year. About the same amount of runneling in any area below about 6500'. But once above that, quality of snow probably better than last year. The little skiff of snow they got yesterday made everything nice clean white and smooth. Some of it even refroze into a nice firnspiegel.
Tried something a little dif...
Excellent effort. We were admiring the unbroken expanse of snow on the Fryingpan, but saw no sign of your tracks. I hope it's still good in late July.
So that is who he was ... I was just behind him on the 4th (and went up Cowlitz Rock ridge instead of the glacier) and met him today in the 4th xing parking lot as he headed back out to Cowlitz saddle, I was behind him until the end of the ice caves trail when I decided to do laps in the back bowl instead--wrong decision! I skied 9-10 (the shortest and steepest) 1/2 way down and diverted to 9-1-1 to avoid the avy debris at the bottom and ended up in crappy debris anyway.
Hitting that up on the way to and from Fremont peak is probably my favorite sunrise tour.
Agreed, Wolfs.
That's a great bowl. We usually ski down it facing NE and then climb back up in the general area of the Huckleberry trail.
Just so's the geriatric element know -- it takes geezers a while to get back up out of there ;)

Thanks for the great report! We are headed to interglacier on Sunday. Wish we could bike in on the trail...
My TLT5's are feeling left out! 8)
Nice TR - looked like a great day.

Nice work! The ride down the Renfrew is really fun, even if low angle.....lots of wide open cruising!
Good to see everyone again 8)

On the 4th of July in 1999 my dad, brother and I were able to ski from Cowboy down to the groomer machine shed on nice continuous snow.
Way to celebrate Independence! I think I've skied 3 times on the 4th; my wife and I had some fine turns at Crater Lake in 2010.
Nice first post and welcome to TAY 8)
Sweet vids! Nice meeting you guys (shred & FreeBird) and good to see Silas once again. Till next time...
Great sounding trip. I've climbed the South Twin and have always wanted to ski the North Face of the North Twin.
If you go again, and you don't mind a tag along, send me a PM.

Looks like a brand new bouldering area was created there!
sourdough chutes were still holding plenty of snow this weekend...the chutes around Antler peak had good coverage and there were plenty of nice lines all the way along Sourdough towards Mt.Fremont. Dege Pk never came outta the clouds, but I imagine it was in fine shape too.
Thanks. I was hoping to hear news from sunrise. How do the sourdough chutes look?

July 2, just as good. Great snow and merciful cloud cover. Here's another pic going up and the bear. Great day to be out there. We hiked 90 minutes before putting skis on.
I was expecting to see a few bears but we must have just missed them. Lots of bear scat and sightings by others.
Nice turns in July! Any bears on the trail?

Beta on the approach? Where did you put skins on?
I crossed the river on a tiny tree at the flagged switchbacks a bit before glacier basin and switched to skins very shortly thereafter. By next weekend it might be better to keep the shoes on until glacier basin camp.
The new white river trail as of last year is really nice.

That view of the slopes above the clouds is just awesome.
Nice. Looks like the chutes should still be in condition in two weeks. Most excellent!
What a great video and song. You captured the joy.
Beautiful tele turns BTW!

Nice! How long are you down there? I'm considering skiing the South Sister on July 9th.
Great to hear there is still so much snow up there. I was curious and almost headed up there on Saturday but decided to take my kids on a hike to Deer Ridge, not much snow there, and I couldn't see to obstruction point etc.
I don't know if I have the discipline for a twofer, but I love the fact that you got one! way to go.
Wow - big rocks! Thanks for the scale on the 1st one.
Great to meet you and yourpartner, shespiste. Keith got some good photos too. Maybe he will post them now, since I left town before I wrote a TR. Wish the weather was as good down in southern Oregon.
Great video! Last year we camped there also. Liked the shot of you two drinking a beer at your campsite ;).
Sweet.
I just told the Rondonniers.
They smiled as they waited patiently in the car for their turn later today. :)

The link you posted is to the book the movie is based on (my German's rusty, but "Gebundene Ausgabe" translates to "Hardcover Edition": http://www.dict.cc/?s=Gebundene+Ausgabe)
Sorry, yes you are right, I took the wrong link. The correct link to the movie is

Holy Hanna. Incredible job. I would've been chased off at the sight of that giant seracfall triggered avalanche.
