Make sure you let Lowell know for history's sake as i agree with Drew, it's one of the more notable ski descents of the season...
Not to worry...I got it!
Massive - diddo on Drew and Roj's comments - impressive, memorable, historical! You guys rock!
hey Silas, got any plans to ski around the Ritter/Banner area while you're down there? that area looks like some amazing ski terrain.
Great TR. Too funny.
Colchuck Glacier is such a great ski!

Add them with the IMG link, Willie -- the script for thumbnails has been broken for a while and I haven't had the time/skill to fix it. I edited your post to IMG instead of thumbnails. Sorry for the hassle, great TR!
Beautiful!! Awesome ski guys
Fun TR, thanks.
I think that I will put my daughter on a split board. That way I know that no matter how old and slow I may get, I will always be able to catch up on transitions. ;)

I love the "Bird on the shield" photo.
Strong work, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the company and transport Jill and Zap. It is always fun to meet up with friends on the road.
The warming hut tip was tits and your insistence on dinner at the brewery was right on as well! ;D
Lets do it again soon.

Another great trip...thanks guys.
Again it seems that the more places I ski, the more places I want to go back and ski again. What a great area.

Way to get after it on the south..
BTW, how was the suncup situation over on the Prouty route?
How about the 'shrund..maybe all filled in?
Thanks rlsg.
The Prouty is in great shape with minor suncups or runnels. The headwall has a couple of cracks opening up and is getting a bit narrow toward the top but it should be good for a while...
Aha. Mystery solved.
From Foss we noticed two peops at the Unicorn saddle on Sunday and then later noticed one glissade track and one set of ski tracks below the saddle.
Me thinks it must have been you and Radka :)

Thanks so much or sharing Lowell...very touching as it reminds me of my parents getting me into the mountains at a very early age...some of the best memories. I only hope that our daughter (just turned 2) will be psyched on the magic and beauty of the mountains as well...
Outstanding! Make sure you let Lowell know for history's sake as i agree with Drew, it's one of the more notable ski descents of the season...super congrads you three...way to nail the conditions and weather.
That's right Kenji, she isn't skiing yet. Not until the resorts re-open next season :) Her knee is kind of bothering her after the Unicorn trip too, probably because she didn't have tape on it to keep the patella straight... (it goes off to outside of her knee and causes issues when not taped). All the misalignments from the injury and surgery have been fixed by PT, except for this last one...
Nice fun report Lowell.
Did Tom ever get this deep seated feeling like he had been there before, but just can't place it?

A very enjoyable trip with great partners. As Mack continues is virtually unbroken string of TR's without photos, I felt obligated to provide some evidence of our travels.

3. Trevor trying to hitch a ride to the nearest snow covered mountain he could ride.

A pic from Mike Segars that needs to be in here.
Hi Chris,
Sounds like her knee is recovering well. Assuming she wasn't on her skis yet, I'm sure she will be ready for the coming winter.

That's a beautiful ski line. I've daydreamed abouy making turns down the tongue of the Liberty Ice Cap Glacier (but, of course, lack the skill and determination). Good job!
After re-emerging from the dark bowels of the volcano things just are not the same. I may have to go back to make things right again.
Hey, we were up there, the two guys that headed down first, we were leary of the chutes skiers left, glad to hear they went well, next time!!!
Nicely done Eric and crew....wow!!!!
Nice report and congratulations on your ski. I chatted with Trevor in the parking lot as you guys headed out. I took my stepson out on Heliotrope for his first day out on Rando gear after a successful deprogramming from splitboarding. (Your photo captured our three runs on the Deming side.) With the recent snowfall and the cold temps the night before I have to say it was some of the best corn skiing I have ever seen on Baker. It was a near religious experience!&nbs...
Surely one of the season's most notable descents in the contiguous US. Bravo, gents!
Oh wow! Awesome stuff, Eric, Pete, and Dan. Looks scary. Glad you guys scored a long-sought prize on the Big Tahoma. And great that you didn't need to implement "Plan B" or "Plan F" (Dan knows what those are ;D ).
Awesome -- that second pic is something else. Bottomless crack covered by a broken slab? Funky stuff, thanks for posting it.
Nice one, Ryan.
And noteworthy wordsmithing ;)

Thanks for the report.
Thanks for the report.
Lowell and Tom - thank you for sharing these special moments with the rest of us. Spending time together as a family in the mountains is very rewarding and where some of the strongest and fondest memories are created in my opinion.
Most Excellent Ryan. That area is great.
Looks like a great trip, Ryan. Hopefully we can get out for a tour or some climbing soon!
So much snow! At least now you are strong enough to drag your "weight training" boards up a hill.

I'd love to ski if you don't mind meeting new people :)
Excellent! Let's get in touch mid-July.
Cool one Scott! No encounters with naked hippies this time?
Nice write-up for sure, Ryan, thanks for linking it here -- sounds like a good day for you.
Andres and I were eyeing the vicinity of the Yawning Gl. when we were there a week ago. #$&#$(&#$& ankle wouldn't have any of that. $)&@#$#& injuries! At least you weren't avalanched on & cut up from the debris like some of us were on Sahalee. That made the whole ascent a waste of time in my book. Good trip Ryan.
Awesome work Ryan that has been on my tick list as well.
Thanks for the report. I'll be skiing the South Sister July 11-13 and planned to camp at green lakes etc. I hope to ski the Middle Sister too. I'll have plenty of time as I'll be spending two nights. But I'll be the only one skiing in our group. I'm glad to hear there is a huge snow pack and excellent corn.
Telemack, I notice you are from Kitsap County. I live in Poulsbo, am new to the area and tele. I've recently start...

Zap and Jill,
It was good to finally meet you two :D.
Dinner at the Brewery was definitely superior to instant mashed potatoes fixed over a Jet Boil. I will also second Mack's comments on the warming hut. ;)
We couldn't have asked for better conditions than we found in the Sisters, good times.
Enjoy the rest of your road trip.

Lowell,
This is a great report!. Spending time in the mountains with family is so rewarding. In your last photo, the similarities in facial expressions between your son and your wife are striking.
