1) This is epic! Thanks for sharing! I love the long walks for "gimmicky" skiing.

2) How did you get to add so many photos? I thought there was a 10 photo limit. Btw - they are great!

Sherman Pk looks like a worthy destination on it's own!

I've seen overflow parking at that  trailhead even  some years ago in summer, though not running  more  than a few hundred yards down  the road. Between the  increase in the  region's population,  the  increase in the  percent of people who get out  hiking, the impact  of COVID on outdoor recreation (i.e. incenting people to do stuff outside because it's good for your health and also it's not a scary indoor public space) and the ampl...

The Teannaway provides! Nice one guys!!

Strong work day-tripping from the closed road!  As others said, good timing and quite the score.

Sent you a message inquiring re: more pics of the Mowich-Ptarmigan zone, if you are willing to share.

Thanks for tha beta. You're on a roll!

Excellent. Solid score. 

I see them now! Cool trip to an area I don't know

Rad!  Between this and other accounts of skiing it with powder I feel like a goofball.  Might have to ski it again one of these years with good conditions.  Posted while escaping a heat wave with two munchkins in a grove of aspens at 10,000 ft.

A BIG day with your thoughts and photos.

"Several Klondike-esqu prospectors with gold pans appeared in the ditch along the road and then transformed into stumps." Yes, I had a few "bears along the road" that transformed into stumps. 😉

Very cool! 

Dont forget those pocket glaciers north of 3rd burrough and 2nd Burrough. We ran into Art Freeman there on sunday,

Excellent beta, thank you!

View from the Stevens-VanTrump-Sluiskin Monument today.

Thanks for the photo update - looks surprisingly smooth for July!

Were you able to drive to 4th Crossing?

Magnificent! I was up there a few weeks ago and it’s still looking good. 

Hi there!! I'm fairly new to Bellingham, and I haven't been up to 542 since COVID. I was wondering if you guys had any pictures from your recent trips? Just looking to see what everything was looking like, and what was still looking good. Hoping to go up in the next few days, but I just wanted to research some. Thanks!

Nice

Nice trip report! How was the access to the Snow Dome looking?

😎 3rd shot is sick! 

Inspired by this report, Reed and I finally got out and skied the Spur today. Great fast hiking in trail shoes from Tilly Jane camp up to 9k. Crampons from there to the top. We brought two axes although it wasn't essential. We left camp at 5:30 and were at the base of the chimneys by 9, but still had one disconcerting set of grapefruit sized rocks whiz down. Leaving an hour earlier would have been smarter.

We topped out at 10:15 and the snow was already nicely softened to the summit r...

Such a fun tour! Good skiing with ya

It is enjoyable to read your TR, photos and the video is well done.😃

The choke points were still ~20ft wide. Should go cleanly for a few more weeks. 

Sweeeeeet!!! Way to make it work with the tiny window.

You guys make some nice turns.

FYI the only way I've found onto the Park headwall is usually hard climber's left approximately above the apex of Boulder ridge and out of sight from your photos. The bergschrund typically pinches off over there but opens up some time in late Spring or Summer. One time we gained the headwall by climbing onto a wedged block in the 'schrund underneath the cliffy section directly below the summi...
