Look for Scott's major Youtube debut with a gopro vid,  downskin from Colchuck Col to Icicle road. Sick!

ooops,

Yes Marcus, those are most of the new boots you gave me. missing some buckles, straps, some fiddling with the walk ski mode, differant tongue, and dremel work on the shell..

They work great for me, thanks!

It was great skiing thats for sure! Just glad the "local" we met had already put in the skin track! And of course Sidnie's critiquing of the guys kick turns at, well, every kick turn we did the whole day made the skin fun.

Great video Ross!  That waterfall always intimidates me, great job skiing it!  I was in the group of three just ahead of you on the first climb.  Good to see you, Chris and Curt as well as some other familiar faces in the other groups.  We ended up skiing the slot for our last run after talking with another party who had skied it earlier in the day.  The top half was OK, the bottom half better but the snow was better on the phantom side.  Overall some of the nicest snow I've skied in Washin...

There's no such thing as too much replying and photo posting!

Where is this place across the valley you referred to? 

Sorry we missed you all,
Glad you found the goods, that slope is a fun ski and more often than not holds good snow. We found similar conditions across the valley. Any aspect which had been exposed to Friday's sun had an unpleasant, but skiable crust. North facing slopes held good powder. If you can excuse a little post jumping, here are a couple pix from our day.  ;)

Here's a link to a Scribble map I put  together.

A mediocre poem for a good photo is definitely a fair trade  :D

Nice to meet up with you and Nick and share the pit work.  The bond to the MLK crust was strong on our NW aspect.  Hopefully the strength of the   bond of all the new snow to the Feb 7 crust will strengthen and we can visit some of the open slopes in the near future.  Some of the best Olympic skiing we've seen.  Thanks for the Haiku.

Nice find! I take some responsibility for Friday's Kendall pillage  :). I was surprised to find sun crust near Stevens on Saturday as well considering how cold it was.

Thanks for the TR and photos. 

Seeing Tamarack is now open Thursday thru Sunday, can you tour there when the area is closed ?

Nice video Silas, and some strong skiers making some sweet turns!

I could see your squiggles on Mazama when I made a break for the parking lot from above pan point. I wish I would have gone that way from the get go!

I'm the woman who fell in.  Liz, not Cecilly.  I was ascending toward Mazama Ridge following the usual route up from the big bend in Stevens Canyon Rd.  Not sure of the name of the creek there.  The bridge had 5+ feet of snow on it.  I was following a track right down the middle of the bridge where others, including my husband just a few feet in front, had passed.  In an instant, the snow fell out from under me and I found myself laying on my back in the creek below.  I'm generally pre...

Where exactly is the run you guys did?  I'm curious about where at the pass that nice slot in the trees was.

thx for sharing the "love" .. you guys are sick animals  ;)

proud effort fellas,  hell of a deathmarch.

Nice TR and video edit, Ross... waterfall looked entertaining.

Ale, splitboar....er....AT skier....er...hell, I don't even know anymore...and I'm not sure Scott knows anymore.



Tails tucked, skins on, we're headed down.



Last look.



Here's a little video, sharing a little...

Nice video. I like the pole-mounted camera angle.

The commercial aspect seems pretty simple. If a client had made and posted the video, I don't think anybody would have commented on it. But when a guide makes and posts the video (with an offer of more guiding availability in the future) it seems like a commercial post to me.

This is an isolated case, and it does include good condition info. I won't predict what the moderators may think. I recall that in the past a...

Thanks for cutting the uptrack Silas (Charlie)! On a nearby meadow: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jackmc/5482681654/in/set-72157626156456562/

well written Leyland!

So nice to be able take advantage of the cold snap and ski all the way to the skykomish. I was suprised with the options for good ridable terrain up there.
