Was that you we saw on Saturday that lost a ski and I watched it slide down part of the snowfield to Pebble Creek area and disappear?

Haha, I watched that, too! Just thinking 'ohhhhhhh nooooo......'

I, too, got to experience this mess Saturday. Was thinking of opening a Hawaiian Shaved Ice stand at about 8100'.

"I watched it slide down part of the snowfield to Pebble Creek"

Something actually slid down that "glacier?"

Hi Greg, nice to meet you yesterday. Conditions were dreadful. Never been so discouraged! Let's hope for decent snow in November, I don't think I'll repeat that exercise...

Dang! Oh well; work gets the $$$ so I can play, so no trip today.

Maybe this is the beginning!

Love your description of the snow surface. I think it is important for all of us to ski refrozen silt once in a while in order to better appreciate all the great clean white snow we get to ski. Weather report looks like you went one day early. I think it might be powder skiing up there today.

Greg,

Great to meet you on the way up yesterday morning. I thought getting month 49 was pretty awesome until you told me about your streak. Your description was spot on about how awesome the conditions were. We went to the top of the next patch of the snow...ice/gravel...field to get in some more vert and some more suffering. Pretty shitty conditions yesterday. Note to self....hold on to your ski when you take it off on a sheet of ice.

I have Earned those Turns in more than one way!

that little bit of fresh makes all the difference.
Nice that sun cups didn't really develop this year.

I just did the pleasant hike up Monitor Ridge on St Helens and saw a perfect "Rolf's Remnant" that you would love to shred. Picture on Facebook.

Also, he has skied 47 of the past 53 days.

Hard to brag about 2 of the last 60. Thanks for sharing Silas. Tom is an inspiration.

If Mike Rolfs says it wasn't very good, well..... I think we all know what that means.

I remember that October! It was fantastic! But just last November this is what Helio looked like! There's still hope! (this was November 1 btw!)

Now I think we all want to get on board with Mr. Britton's plan! I'll bring the beer!

Thanks for the report. The last photo looks like tough skiing.

This was Helio on October 20, two years ago... :'(

Nice going! Sounds and looks like a great day, snow beer coolers.......perfect! But I think I want to be in Mr. Brittons dust for the boot top pow, that's the ticket!

Another excellent report. thanks

I have a different kind of streak going. Ski mid boot fresh in either Sept or Oct on muir, ruth, helio. 5 years on the line now. two weeks to go.

While you did have great company, that's is a long way to take your skis for a walk. I think Brian was right. You certainly logged some serious salt points though!

Thanks for the fun report and congrats on adding another year to the TAY count. I suspect that this October will end many a streak. It would be interesting to see graphed streak ends versus months over time. I'd expect clusters in September and October of dry years.

Not a short walk out there, solid effort for the snow. More is coming I can feel it

Whenever the tails stuck into the snow support the weight of the ski - conditions are primo!!

-Welcome To Turns All Year :)

Hear the song of the Turns-All-Year skier,
Who follows a sport some think queer.
Snow all ‘round the seasons
Makes really good reasons
To exercise, then drink strong beer.

Ski!

It was my first time skiing in September and first time in Washington. Glad to hear that these are not normal conditions. I still had fun!

Interesting side bar to that statistic - he started that astounding record at the ripe old age of 34. There's hope for me yet!

Seems like it would be easier/more fun to ski the Bruneau Dunes skiing the dunes

Wow. That's so hard to watch...and yet so hard to turn away.
I love the spots where he seems to check his watch. What's he thinking? "How much longer can I rattle my brain inside my skull without stopping? Will I get off this heinous dirt ice gnar track in time to make it home to catch 'Golden Girls'?"
Good on ya for making it happen. Going biking now.
