Thread: SNOW IN THE PNW 2011/2012!

Sweet chuting at Sunrise yesterday. Staying on skis all the way to the top of first Burroughs appears to be a very limited time offer. Skied chutes between first and second (and kinda on second) Burroughs. Smooooooooottttthhhhhh.

Anyone skied Daniel recently? I've seen the one TAY report, but not much else. Warm weather might make Adams the better bet anyway....

went for a 4th of july hike/tour at alpy. the snow is still there to be skied if you dont mind bushwacking up to lower international. once the snow starts up though its in pretty good shape to the top.

Perfect corn on Interglacier ,MRNP with PNWBrit and Bob.
We watched a heli long-lining the body of the fallen Ranger off the mountain. Very sad. RIP.

Perfect day on the mountain. Very moving to have the helis buzzing around allday

Couldn't find a partner for Friday, went up to Adams anyway. Fast smooth corn in the SW chutes.

Mt. Daniel/Lynch Glacier, nutty exit with Randy.

The big loop on Daniels! One day?

Silver Mt still delivering the goods

Yep, one day, 12 hours, 40 minutes car-to-car. No routefinding problems on that funky exit.

Damn, I can't believe how smooth and white it looks out there. Adams looks tits.

More pics from Randy\\\'s NWHiker Mt. Daniel/Lynch Glacier TR:

There's still continuous snow from just past the trailhead at Cascade pass. It'll melt out within the next week or two if this heat keeps up

got quite the variety of sledding tools there with some eager skaters ready to deliver, it appears.
nice to see everyone can share in the goods

Anyone want to make some afternoon/after-work turns today? How much snow is left up at Snowq anyway?

silver is right in the neighborhood being invaded by snoskaters so there must be something left.

Silver is a bit more of a hike now.
Up to windy, pass the PCT trail head (we reconnoitered that approach but gave up on it) to the first spur road to the left.
Park if you are driving something with low ground clearance, or, drive until you run into snow.
We made it up another mile before we got out and walked another mile of gravel road to the dead end up in the South West corner of the meadow. From there it's a short walk to snow and you can pretty much skin to the top from there by going up through the inside as apposed to bushwhacking your way though undergrowth to the lower bowls.
It's getting sun cupped a little but still in good shape.

The view from the summit of Rainier was quite nice yesterday.



Yes I am pale but I am working on it!!!!!

Now that's what I call freeriding.

I was hoping my ass would shut this thread down.

Anyone been up Heliotrope recently?

Also, who is the owner of the black suby w/ DPS stickers in Capitol Hill? You be my neighborish

Probably some impotent loser, a terrible skier perpetually "training for Alaska", likely from the east coast. It's certianly not my car

Cap hill? I always see it parked outside skeezy motels on aurora late night.

Just want to say it's sick that you people are still enjoying teh snows. Good stoke photos
