Congrats on the impressive streak! Much respect for you guys!
Thanks
Nice. Quite nice! VERY NICE!!! PNW suffering from very high snow levels, and snow in 'flood-stage' form, at the moment...
I would have never skied with you guys if I knew your streaks were only at few years. ;)
Nice one Gump! assuming others besides your brother can call you that. Mike, are you at 132 as well? Damn impressive
Wow. Congrats. This looks like a great spot.

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.
Nice! Yeah, I wanted to go today too but had some work stuff come up.
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.
I set off an avalanche on Lolo Peak above Carlton Lake in 2001. On June 3rd. On alpine skis. (I didn't have a clue and was lucky!)
Well, almost (I hitched a ride for about 3 miles up Mormon Creek Road to the TH). Did you say you set the avi off on Carlton ridge?
Thanks for the report, your assessment and the web cam helps us lesser turns two thirds of the year skiers know when to come out of hibernation. Putting rock skis in truck for tomorrow if anyone wants a carpool.

Almost 50 miles of moving! (26 on the bike, 20 hiking, 4 skiing)
Impressive! So you rode all the way from US 12 to the usual trailhead? Wow! Lolo Peak is one of my favorites!! I've lived in and out of Missoula for 17 years now. That's also where I set off my one and only avalanche, on June 3rd in a big snowstorm! We hiked all the way to the top of Carl...
Mr. Knees is being modest again. He got 11 years with our miniature RockTAYberfest yesterday! 8)
We could've skinned above Pan, but only booted. Coverage was marginal for both hike and boulder-slalom, but it was good to get that first blast of wintery conditions.

Nice TR again. Mr. mikerolfs is "in the know on where to go".
Kudos on year 7. It's an exciting ball and chain we drag around with us!

Nice one! Is the infamous truck eating road bog also fixed? It is usually near the end of the road, by the FS cabin.
Yes! Graded and graveled. The gravel road is no issue now.

Thanks, Phil. I'm a teacher of high school, and a student of snow...
...using literature (gathering the glisse) and science (prime factorization) you've spun a superb trip report.
Congratulations Greg on 20. I haven't seen many posts of you getting your TAY before the end of a month ::) Compared to Sept. 29 there is a huge pile of freshies
---and a huge pile of blue sky!

Congrats, telemack! 10 years. There should be a patch.
Sweet picture of the Nisqually chute in September coverage, good comparison for the deep pack later on.
And all the skiers on their way to nirvana....

While it's a minor note -- we did see some instability across the valley. Gravity knows no season.
Fun day up there. Gotta love the late sunsets. I found a purple-patterned wool hat on muir snowfield, can be picked up at paradise visitor center. Not sure if TAY has lost and found page.
20 years...Can you recall all of them?! Nice work, Ironman. My 240 is right behind ya, next weekend!!!
Righteous first post of the season.

That skiing looks dreamy for September.

Excellent TR as usual. Where is Moxie? That doggie could haul ass on snow for wearing such short "sticks" :D I hope your new pal is an addition, not a replacement.
Very cool. I skied Andrews on October 31, 1992 with 12 inches or so of new. We left at 4am, got home at about 5pm and proceeded to go to Mall Crawl where the three of us dressed as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Pearl Street and stayed out until 7am the next morning. I'm actually surprised the "glacier" is still there but it looks almost the same to me. Mall Crawl is long gone...
Hell yeah!! Feeling more stoked after reading that TR. Awesome!
:). Keep 'em coming. There's no TR quite like an MW8 TR.
Way to precede the PNW on fresh snow touring, too!

Sounds a lot like the walk down from Colchuck Lake with skis on your back! Almost celebrity status. Looks like a great ski.
Ive been to Frey in the "summer" (our winter) and that place is phenomenal. Very cool.
