Them dudes cranked out some rockin' tunes.  Too bad the lost Roy Orbison when they did or they'd of likely cranked out a bunch more.

We also skied last night, but none in our party of 3 ran into the pollen slow-down problem.  I wonder if our lack of waxing for most of the season helped out??  I thought the skiing was fine.

I would not be surprised if you don't have something there.  I felt like the end of our last trip skiing wise was better than the beginning (skis were fresh...

Way too cool.

The last time I was on that bridge there was a couple there with their child and dog.  The man was on our side, and the dog, wife and child were on the other.  He tried to call the dog over the bridge, but the dog tried to swim the creek.  I thought I was going to see the death of a nice animal, but somehow the dog figured out there was no way he could swim across, turned around and about 50 yards downstream made it back to the original bank from which he...

Thanks for the heads up.  We're going up tomorrow anyway.  There is already pollen on our skis from our last trip East of the mountains.  I'll bring the rubbing alchohol.  I've found a brush sometimes can help as well.

Nice effort, Lisa.
I've experienced that "windchime crust" twice over the years, both times on Rainier.  It was a very special experience with creamy smooth, musical skiing both times.  Fun, eh?
I'm glad someone else got to enjoy it.

Wow Lee, how many heli hut trips is that this year? A month and a halfs worth? Good on you, I'm jealous! 

Margaritas, yum yum.  I'll have to be on the lookout for geezers next time I'm up there.  Christophe and I had a nice day-trip outta Paradise on Sunday, too.

Lee,

Thanks for the excellent TR.  The links for day 5, 6 and 7 are not working.

It was great to see the terrain you skied plus the maps.  During my week at Kokanee a few years ago, we were delayed arrival by 2 days and 1 day for departure due to weather-warm rain.  The available terrain is enormous and the accomodations are excellent.  I'm hoping to return next season if I get lucky at the lottery.

Jill and I had a great time at Blackcomb and did not tour o...

Them's the Whistler Couloirs.  They are seldom in skiable shape by the time the road opens.

What mountain holds that couloir in the first picture?  What a beautiful line.

Wipes etc. on the mountain wouldn't be worth it right now. It accumulates too fast and thick, you'd be stopping every few hundred feet to maintain glide. Yes, Wood, this has turned the skiing to crap for the second half of the run. Hopefully some of it will wash out with the rain this weekend.

Do you guys suppose that carring a rag or paper towel soaked in rubbing alcohol (in a zip lock) would be worthwhile?

Try rubbing alcohol; it doesn't strip the wax.

Your phone takes kicks ass pictures. I plan on heading up on the 27th for a one day trip.
Any other TAY'ers up for a trip?

Any shrund below the saddle?

Great film ! Great tunes! Thanks ;D

nicely done, Justin.

The ghost of Norman Clyde, having migrated north to the Cascades, haunts summit sunsets solo-ski style.  Nice.

There may be some folks up as early as Friday.  Myself and the people I'm going with will be there Saturday.  I think we are going to do some pre-ski biking on the middle fork trail that day, so we'll be at Corrigan by early evening.  I'm planning on skiing Diamond Sunday.  I'd not be surprised if there were folks skiing it again Monday, though I'll probably leave Sunday evening.  It should be a good time.  As to the following weekend, I...

Good job!

Way to creatively avoid the crowds. How was rockfall at that time?

The S.Side ski is still on my list.

Buck - I remember you from Snowdome last summer.  I'd love to swing by for Memorial weekend, but I have plans and probably can't break them.  However, Todd and I were thinking about doing the South Sister the following weekend.  It'd be fun to have some others come along - got any plans?

Awesome outing!  Great TR and pics.  I can imagine what your weather was like up there, as I was camped at Moraine Lake beneath the North Face of Forbidden on the 13th.  It was less than nice, that's for sure.

neat trip report, thanks..

I wanna go! It looks awesome. A new place to add to my list. Thanks for the trip report. 8)

You REPRESENT for us  :)  ...and the planet....

rad pics, michael!  speaking of chains, i wouldn't be surprised if you guys lugged that thing up there yourselves, just for exercise.  ;)  glad you weren't trapped in the fog the whole time!
