Great trip y'all. Nice to see you in this neck of the woods Louie!
Nice pics... That first pano looks like a wall hanger. Last time I was down there I drove all the way up and couldn't even see the lake!(forest fire). Cool place though.
Cheers!

Awesome report and great photos - thanks for putting the TR together.
Impressive work! Looks like a nice way to spend a few days for sure. Thanks for the pictures...
What a grand idea! Thanks for the report. I liked this over the traditional sisters link up. What amazing weather and views! I'm bookmarking this one for future reference. Thanks again.
Nice trip, and great trip report, seems like you run into TAY'ers in the nicest places.
Nash dawg and my son agree, Sunday sublime slushified slopes skied superbly.
Nice to see you and the rest if the crew, Silas.

Beautiful. When I first started reading the TR about planning how to get to the trailhead, I was thinking it was driving around some construction or something, sheesh. :) That's really inspiring, though, and sounds like a great trip. I bet some of the looks you get on the city bus are pretty funny when you are loading your bike, skis, and gear on board?
Ah, t...

We headed up early and got some liquid sunshine during the skin. Cleared up after a bit though and we had some nice snow a little before noon.
This was my first time up there this year, how long has the run down toward the lake been melted out? I was hoping (irrationally maybe...) that it would still be in.

thats a sick line! how long do you think it will be in?
Not long. it was pretty touchy when we were there. the top looks deceptively good, but at the bottom it was decently hairball. Be careful if you go, and bring a rope for getting out below, the glacier was pretty sketchy below the line.

Nice adventure. Gold creek is fun times! Nice lines out there though. Great pics and words!

Great photos are beautiful. It reminds me of the 400' shots last year.

Glad I could teach something! If you can't find skin wax in Munich, let me know and I will mail you some! I wish we'd had more time to discuss the techniques you have been learning based on the research your club does. Is there a website to find that information? I probably will not use pickets for ski mountaineering in the future - I will go euro-style with the ax for a q...
sounds like a great trip!
Bushwacking free climbing. Snow looked good high.
Adventure skiing with some added adventure. Very nice!

We should have gotten our fat asses out of bed earlier. Had a couple close lightning strikes. Flashboom
Scary stuff, I've had "sparkle-hair" once before and I wouldn't like to repeat it.
Where were you when it hit?
Yeah! fun trip! Good skiing with you guys. Typing is hard with all these thorns in my fingertips :)
Fun TR to read. Thanks for posting!
Way to hit it.

On June 20, we watch a spltter descending the same chute. You called the weather window. ;)
Lowell, thanks for a great trip report, a reminder that wonderful trips are all around us, and this is a perfect example.
A great trip with some great terrain. ;)
"Worm flows" :) and yes, we locals call firn snow, "corn" snow... like skiing on frozen corn kernels...
nice work! wish i could have joined you.

great pic of the S. Sister ! & skinning w/ shorts on, excellent
in regards to the size of Shasta, pic - Mt Shasta is larger by volume than Mt Rainier
welcome to summer ! there should be skiing still available down here through next month. love those views !
SWEET day out with you Radka! Great company, 10p of Bubbly golden granite, Snow to the parking lot, and Awesome pictures too!-WOW!I could not ask for more!
Nice Ron, wish I could have joined you. The NW bowl is definitely worth a return trip!
Man that looks great. Might make a push that way wednesday. Thanks!
Parked at Morrison Creek, intermittent snow on the road for the first mile or so then continuous. I was able to ski to within a half mile of the car by heading directly back to MC, though there was a bit of dirt skiing involved. I would guess the road will take at least a couple more weeks to melt out, especially with this lovely weather.
How close did you drive to the Cold Springs TH? Morrison Creek?
Skiing to go climb that golden, WA pass granite! Nicely done! NEWS looks dry for the most part, judging by your photo.
Full day. Nice.
Sorry we missed you (and the grill) on Silver
