Those cups on the flats must have been EE, could have held a melon. All the makings for a fun trip: hiking, stream crossing, entertaining snow, great views, nice ski slopes, fine weather, and good company. Here are a few photos of the organizer....

Nice report and pictures! That area has been on the list for awhile. Really beautiful in there....I've seen the nice lines from Snowdome. It is a ways in there though. Thanks for the report.

nice TR, nice photos. Way to work for it. I believe that basin on the west side, or flip side of Barret spur is Wyeast basin. What a great, and expansive area, but it does take the extra effort to get in there and enjoy it.

Amar, please forward on to David Pinegar. He knows me from a slide on the Emmons a few years back. I was planning a trip for the Fuhrer Finger this weekend and saw your trip report, but will go anywhere the conditions are as good as your pics! Would enjoy getting together again. Thanks, - Scott

We're somewhere in that photo, probably 2nd or 3rd lowest group (guessing). We were about the last to leave camp and tried skinning which sucked. Didn't pass anyone until we started booting.

The chutes on Ruth looked really nice on the way in, and I was angling for a detour that way on the way out but no takers... Kath, did you ski the glacier basin or fryingpan side?

Was a little worried about avy conditions on the Interglacier in the hot aftern...

hi Ryan -- likewise! But I'm envious because it seems like up north you guys will be able to enjoy the snow longer. It's melting so fast hear with the heat, and today it was so hot that I had to wait until 7:30pm to take out my mountain bike.

Theisen and Silas together, Kam? That makes for a VERY fun day I imagine!
Gotta get down there so...

Thanks for the tip on the road, saw that post seconds before heading out of town on Friday. We (Paul, Mary, Andrew) dropped a car at White River CG had great tour out to 3rd Burrough down to bottom of Interglacier (a bit grabby and inconsistent). Then up to Camp Curtis. The ski down was amazing, like floating on crystals spraying away with every turn. Much better than expected from the looks of it on our way up. The least consolidated was on steeps down from Burroughs so sought out lower angle o...

Stoudema, the coverage up high is actually better than last year when you and I rode it on Memorial Day! Below 8000 it is melting fast.

DG, Rebecca and I crossed paths with you and your girlfriend just at the start of the final treed descent near Moraine Lake. We were the ones saying that your dog looked a lot like our dog.

We saw the pug almost back at the parking lot and he did not even look winded after his climb! The owner said that he runs 30 miles a...

We had a gang of five up there that day too. The SW chutes were awesome. It was nice that it took a while to corn up, as it took us a while to summit.
We ended up missing the optimum traverse back to our up and ended up on a lower trail that took us to Morrison Creek CG. There was a bit of bushwacking and backtracking up to the car, but in the end, a most incredible day.
Nice post!

- how about low-level (high cloud) cirrus.
we get those down here in the Sierra, associated with an incoming front.
ours gets stretched out into a small, irregular lenticular - then dissapears

Great rpt

Kam, When Silas told me he was heading for Tioga, I mentioned the Mo Mart and the carrot cake with the raspberry and chocolate drizzle but it was a meal for 2. So did you go to the Mo Mart after your cup fest ?

I love the photo of Silas on the stream crossing-you bad. ;)

We were there on Sunday and there were some nice looking tracks in one of the chutes - encouraged us to make some of our own.

Here’s Marcus making tracks down one of those many chutes.

Also the view of the Olympics from the southern peak of Freemont. What a day!

The little dogs are amazing, I bet that pug was tired by the end of the day.

No kidding - he looked like he was loving it. But it really puts it in perspective - how can I ever complain about suncups if they aren't at least as tall as I am?

6/28/10 10:44pm

kam

What do you mean you didn't find any cups?

Nice report, Zap!! Good to see you're out having fun. The photos are nice, too.

I haven't yet acquired the taste for low hanging fruit ;). The approach to Broken Top and South Sister is mouth-watering! But I might have to wait a little longer for it to ripen.

Nice caption on the last picture Gary; you had to know Tyler and I would bring a little party to the slog that is Mt. Adams. Keep the next (long) weekend open, and we'll keep the bender going ;)

Trashy Olympic peninsula skiers. Its bad when you have to pack all that extra clothing to the false summitt. Strong work. Can't wait to see Garyand Jan's pictures.

What day were you up there? Saturday morning? I think we skied that chute in the first couple of pictures shortly after you did. Great snow.

Was that Skip, Jack, and Paul (AKA "Cor"?)? Or were there two pods of Larrylanders up there on Saturday?

They owe me for clueing them into the fact that the road had opened, despite my having given in to my wife's desire to hike-not-ski on Saturday! Otherwise, I might have managed to sucke...

Lemme be the next in line to stroke some ego & say way to get after it. Seriously, looks like you nailed it.

At least I got Old Snowy. Was nice to go bust my ass w/ miles & miles of skis/boots on pack to see if I still have the strength/stamina. I guess I had enough in the tank to ski both days.

Thanks for the report, Kenji. Skied out there Saturday and can only say wow, what a view! A group of St Lawrence University alumni joined me and we spent most of our time together congratulating ourselves for skiing to such an awesome spot. It was like going to church and then I got to ski back to my car.
