Glad your getting your stoke on over there, man.

A couple of us started about 10am and followed the bomber skin track to the summit.  Saw the tracks dropping into the upper Crooked and it all looked great!!  We headed back down to the Slot.  Neither of us had been there before and we were overjoyed at the freshiez we saw!!  1600ft of sweet April powder!!  Quick skin up to the notch and some mushy spring smoo down the Phantom!!  Unbelievably hot on the skin up!!  WOW I was taken back at the temps all of a sudd...

Mokika and I did a similar tour on the 31st but we skied the entire crooked and then down the Thunder Creek drainage to about 3600’ and just toured back up.  Hope you were able to find our skin track up thunder creek.  We thought about going the way you guys went but we didn’t leave the car until 1pm.  Sounds like a fun tour.

Here are a couple of pics. You can see that Winter is still going strong in Canada eh?

Yummy turns


Leaving our mark


Unfinished Business!!

Sweet pics Tim! That looked like a great warm-up for your hut trip...have a good one up there...

Super nice. I wish I still lived in the Alps :-)

In da park

Thanks for the TR iluka! Thanks also to you and Chris for all the trail breaking we shared in the whipped butter snow we had.

It was great to be out in the sunshine, even if we never quite got where we wanted to go. That side of the mountain is really impressive,  and it was kinda fun to watch the sloughs running into Kautz Creek from the ridge as we played out our last route finding cards at 6k. The views were just awesome. Maybe it was all some kind of Zen counterpoint to the r...

Went up Tatoosh today as well and know we made the best call.  Was a perfect day and the North facing slopes still held powder, even in the sun 8).  Bluebird, warm, and great riding all the way down to Reflection Lk.  Thanks to all who laid in the track the last couple of days; off trail still deep, esp. below the trees.  The only crust was in the morning going up the Narada face and by afternoon had turned nice and soft.  Fun, Fun, Fun ;D.

Very high quality, high resolution write-up available here. Many very large photos.

Merci bien!!!!  VERY COOL!!!!!!!!

No Kyle, I forgot!  CONDITIONS WERE EPIC!!  In fact, that won word of the day...lol!

There's some videos here for anyone interested in seeing some of Kylie's and my tours...

Actually, 1300 m.

Argentière is a ghost town now but les télés sont ouverts.

It snowed and blowed since then so you probably won't see our tracks.

WOW fantastic photos!!  This last cycle was incredible.

Cool pics! Like the snow over the head with the clear blue behind.

That first shot is a great one!

On Sunday, it was hard to believe it was late March and we were at Snoqualmie. Just remember - the snow always sucks at that low crummy pass! Don't waste your time. Drive to Paradise.

Nice work cappin' the glock !

Nice work Dan!  McLoughlin was definitely a memorable descent for me a few years back.  Now you just need Jefferson off the top!  ;)

Thanks Jeff!  She's quite a floozy, but we managed to finish quick! ;)  Fortunately, she didn't feel like cuddling....that would have been disasterous! :D

Dave, I was feeling a little sorry for you on Sunday because you had to work while I got to be lazy and nurse my sore muscles from Vertfest.
Imagine my feelings as I sit at work today, pondering the blue skies outside and the fluffy powder on screen.  The three of you better save me a seat for your next trip to MRNP!

Great TR, Amar -- nice work.  That's a lot of trailbreaking.  Glad you reaped the rewards.

Yeah, great viddy, Marcus.
A work of art to be sure.

Just curious, are most of the lifts shut down especially the "tele-freek" up on  Grand Motet?  When I was there in the earlier year of '87 most everybody left 'Cham' after Easter and so the uphill transport was quite limited...Same or Different?

WAY TO GO!  How about some more pictures and stories!!!!!!!!!!
