They have a detailed map of ascent and descent routes in that area specifically that you can purchase for $10. No I do not work there, but my buddies took a class from them and it is worth it. Best of luck

Thanks for info about the run list. I'll definitely get one. More from the website:

Thanks for the TR.
Can you clarify which parking lot you started ?
WSDOT indicates that the road to Artist Point is closed since Oct 6th, so I'm assuming you started from the lower resort Parking lot, correct ?
If yes, you do confirm that you were able to skin from the resort parking lot ?
Thanks again!

Black bear tracks.

Any thoughts on the tracks? Martin?

Nice day to have Baker all to yourselves.
Anyone know what the crevasses are like up there right now?

  Thanks kamtron. Not sure on the crevasses.... the new snow may have helped....But more will be needed before the crevasses are bridged.

Nice work, my bro and I are at 133. We pretty much started at the same time.

Nice work, Andy.  When the difficulty factor is considered, you guys' 133 and Telemack's 122 make mine look like child's play in comparison.

Thanks for the stoke guys! Keep it goin. I'm just grateful I got up there once! Might not happen again I'm older than JAGR!

Thanks Sky and Ryan, Jtack. Have a good one.

Congrats on your nice string, always enjoy your ambitious projects, and  that you and your brother, are ski partners, hard to beat that no nonsense communication.

Thanks

Nothing like skinning Skyline for first freshies

Maybe next spring?  Let's see how this winter goes here and there and everywhere.

Nice work, my bro and I are at 133. We pretty much started at the same time.

Nice one Gump! assuming others besides your brother can call you that. Mike, are you at 132 as well? Damn impressive

It's all good, I think once someone gives you a knickname it's too late. Let's get out
for a ski this season. Mikes also at 132.

Nice. Quite nice! VERY NICE!!! PNW suffering from very high snow levels, and snow in 'flood-stage' form, at the moment...

Congrats on the impressive streak! Much respect for you guys!

Thanks mosetick..... Have a good one.

Nice day out with an exceptional crew!

My condolences to your edges. I found a norelco five bladed rock on sat where the first blade caressed the wax, the second blade lifted the base, the third blade took a bite of ptex, I forget what those other blades are for but luckily it'll all fill in with wax. Not a day for the A sticks. Waving back from cubeland.

Lasted way longer than 15 minutes.  Super fun sliding conditions all weekend.  Mile canyon was just a little sticky at about 3:30-4 yesterday but still good enough I hiked up and hit that little jump that the kids built for a second time.
Anyone know what all the movie/TV crew was about yesterday at the old lodge?  Looked like move magic in action. 

Thanks for bringing the stoke -- here's to the beginning of another great season.

nice pics!!!!!!!!!!
