HA! And, people still don't believe me when I say it is possible to ski/board during the summer in the lower 48, now there's proof!
cool!
Ok. What is up with your kid having braces? You and your wife have perfect teeth!!

TT uses the same IMG code that TAY does, FYI. I quoted your post on TT and copied the first chunk of it. I also changed the contents of the brackets to this "img width=800" instead of this "img width=1000 height=750", which allows you to control the size of the img you're hotlinking.
Sounds like a good time, with some adventurous equipment shenanigans. Bummer about the ski!

Three days and two nights on the snow on the flank...

Thanks for sharing Lowell. I'll have to see those two in the mountains, now that they are out of the halls!
Some photos of the blessed event.
Real men wear shorts with boots. Everyone knows this.
Maybe, if I look uphill at the photographer enough, I'll end up being taller:

Stunning gentlemen & congratulations! Your skill, strength, & will are impressive. Not that we didn’t know that already!
We were up on Little T the 25th-26th; since others have already described conditions well, I'll just add that the summit was in good condition; we were almost completely on snow until the last 20 vertical feet or so. We saw a couple of guys scramble the summit in socks; another party of 4 did the whole trip in trail running shoes/light hikers. Ski boots made the last bit more sporting. :)

thanks Gregg - like yr stylin' shirt, fit the day well! Gotta grab religion when you can. And judging by the tracks, looks like a successful deprogramming...

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.
1. Mack, Joe & Trevor with our descent route in the background.
2. Mack expressing his joy at locating the Green Cr. crossing.
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!
