Hi Michael,
Nice TR, great pictures, thanks for the avalanche information. Glad to see you got out on such a beautiful day!  :)

The point release at the top of the chute had propagated into a fifty ft. wide slab about six inches deep and was the result of loading of the northeast facing rock bands on the west side of the chute.  The first skiers down the left side caused no releases and only moderate sluffs and snowballs. 

The way it  slid makes sense to me as there are two  completely different aspects in around  that chute. Thanks for the...

My best bet is that the trail to Stujack's is the easiest. I don't know what anybody else has done.

that sucker has been on my mind for 2 YEARS!!!! i'm so jealous!!!  Question:  do you think it easier to approach via the trail via Stujack Pass?  has anyone ever tried it direct from the bottom?

Hi JW: What is the situation at Cannon Mtn? Thanks, N

We did not notice crevasses in our line. We stayed on the east side near the rock wall most of the way as it appeared to be the best fall line and provided better visibility than the open white slopes slightly west.

Looking west, we did notice bare glacier ice on some rollovers and some indication of open or more thinly bridged crevasses. Most of this was about mid-way up as the lower part appears to no longer have real glacier (lots of avy debris and water ice on rock slab, but not g...

waiting for my tech guy ...

One more - looking down our run. A very sweet fall line.

Gorgeous shots!  Looks like you had a great run despite the avy conditions. 

4500' snow level seems amazing for this time of year...

Dude, holy sh**!  You're crazy man.  Nice solid work, you and Jon.  way to hit it again!

Awesome Conner. Nice having you along.

Some of my Pics.

Hey Michael---looks like a beautiful day, good run, and good avy info.  Cheers

Letty and I looked from the bridge on Sunday and remarked that If you weren't too concerned about your ski base, you might indeed make the run.  Nice to see it, and let's hope for more..

Freebird, nice meeting you two and thanks again for breaking trail for us geezers. Send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send you the pictures we took of you guys. 

nice trip & photos!

Did you slog the road, or sled up it?  The icicle road is open to Bridge Creek, right?  Looks like a solid day's effort.

Very nice! Way to get some.

Thanks for the report.

That was one fun trip, and one scary snowman.

There was one small section near the top of asguard that gave us a taste of exposure...

Stugie took his chances doing some ice moves.



Brad and I stuck to stone.
