We toured there 30 years ago but didn't have enough snow to consider Bacon pk. worthy of the brush shenanigans. North side of Watson had a lot of snow so yo-yo'd everything in that area which was good enough. The scenery is amazing as your video conveyed. Good work!
I think we may have watched you guys set off those sides from our high camp. On Saturday the mank want moving although it clouded out a couple times during our descent.
I skied Lassen yesterday with Meira and we were able to skin from the car with 4 short carries via the SE face. Dropped into the west face, had to carry through about a 50' section, but overall had a 2000' descent. Some shenanigans required to return to the parking lot but not bad. We are grateful for Amar's inti...
We dropped in about 130 or so. Wasn't really any better. Legs tired from the ascent and tele skis made for semi-survival skiing esp. the lower slop. Still a great day in the mountains with my son and his friend.
Overcoat was a true classic Cascades adventure. (Please note, biking and suffering not included in attached gpx.) We approached from the Middle Fork and met at 6am at the Snoqualmie Lake TH, loaded three bikes onto an SUV and made the drive to Dingford Creek TH. Left the car on bikes at 720. Rough biking uphill with the skis, road is in bad shape, but we made it after 2 hours.
We used a gpx from an earlier turns post. Hiked the Dutch Miller Gap trail for 4 miles (nice trail). Forded t...
That must have been you guys in the white sprinter with lots of vegitation on the inside. I was out there that day and was wondering who got the gate trick played on them.
Not really a hydrologic issue, per say, more straight up geology. A rock face (center-left in picture below, looking south) collapsed on the south side of the creek. The debris filled the creek bed and and rerouted the flow through the mini-campground and along the road. Expect a new parking lot at some point.
Mark - thanks for the concern. But I was aware of potential dangers, and am/was experienced enough to know how to handle it. I've skied muir at least a dozen times, and am aware of how to navigate in a white out. I had my compass, I had my GPS. My description was more dramatic than it was. My comment about fall line was more of a "I knew this intellectually, but experienced it empirically for the first time"...
