Man of the tuck! Thanks for sharing, Donnelly! Love your speed runs.
I can't believe you ski that fast without armoring up. I don't ski as fast as you, but if I was going to, I'd be wearing thick sleeves, gloves and pants at least!

Crevasse's around 9k, was that skiers right or left (or both)? Looks like your line on the right was pretty nice.

Thanks for the nice TR, I'm headed up Monday. I'm hoping to use more skins and less shoes than August.

The crevasses on the main path going up were starting to get filled in, but felt more safe getting on my skis to cross...

Excellent vid! I knew Muir was getting a bit of a refresh but damn that exceeded my expectations! I'm hoping this next system really hits it hard. Crevasse's around 9k, was that skiers right or left (or both)? Looks like your line on the right was pretty nice.

Thanks for sharing, snow looks mighty good up there for September. Gonna try and hit it on Sunday after a few new flakes roll in

Thanks for posting this, Silas! Suzanna and I got in our own laps on it on the 15th in the rain. Short drive, short approach, waterfalls everywhere...pretty good!!

I'm pretty sure there are larger-than-postage stamp snowfields/glaciers significantly closer to Bagley lakes than Mt Hood, lol.

Chances are there will be some snow on them by October, too!

Very impressive Silas, you might get some fresh in Zermatt from what we hear. For all you non believers go ski a postage stamp! Best bragging ski for me (way way less than 22 years) was last year at Baker, don't let global warming beak your streak, or your spirit, no matter the length. GO GET SOME! And then posts right here!!

Ha! Thanks for the photos - that trip at least looks worth the while rather than chasing snow patches. Too much fun for September! cheers.

Dedication or lunacy. Who is to decide?

After just two years of TAY I decided I could be taking a nice hike without the extra burden of skis and boots while chasing crappy snow in late summer early autumn. I know. Very non-creative.

Bagley Lakes postage stamp update from Labor Day:
If you live S of Bham, drive to Rainier for October unless it snows enough to go Hwy 20. Tiny already.

Bagley Lakes Postage Stamp...2 1/2 hour drive, 10 minutes walk. Solitude all the way around! Congrats on 22 years. 1 month ahead of me...

Looks like you, guys, got some good snow on Catherine. I'm typically not that lucky at that destination, and end up with some survival skiing in the steep and dense trees about mid-way of the descent.

Great pix!

Interesting for sure. This is the area that sparked the great trash debate of 19' ha!

Did this late last October based on a TAY member recommendation. Yes, you are absolutely correct, so very very much less driving and slogging than all variations of Paradise, if all you are looking to do is check off the month.

We all remember that one year on Rainier that made us question our life choices. Think it'll hold through Oct? Gotta love the 3 sided shade protection up...

Great TR, bro - looks like an awesome day.

Love the thick blanket of clouds - I bet folks in the lowlands were not as happy as you at Camp Muir 😎

I'm not sure which is worse, dirt or pollen to ski. I think pollen as it sneaks up on you - one minute you're flying along and then wham! into the snow. You already kinda know what dirt will be like.

Thanks for the tour of the mountain, I forgot how it looked in the deep summer in a terrible year.

OK, I was able to log in. But only when I tried to reply to your message. The mushrooms are made of agar, I don't really like them...

How do you like to make these, bro? They look kinda alienish ...

These are the worst conditions of my 22year streak.

Maybe this is good news. Worst of 22 years, still able to ski a patch here and there in September!

Thanks for the report, Silas.
