nice stoke!

Took a quick tour with a buddy today up at Mission Ridge. The lower mountain had gone through a melt/freeze cycle but it was snowing and about 1.5" had accumulated by 9am. Cruised through Outback to one of three chutes that have caught out eye for a while now. Good snow in the chute but pretty shallow on the sidewalls. Crunchy styrofoam out the apron and down to the car

cool pics. how do you get that subtle sepia effect?

Thanks! It's an app called Snapseed, super easy to make basic edits and add a few effects. I think I just adjusted the color temp +2 (did all the editing on my phone )

I think that chute is called Wet Panties. Usually people rap into it. Your tracks are gone as of this morning.

That chute is Wet Panties I think. People rap into it usually. Your tracks are gone as of this morning. Crust starts about 5500'.

Yeah, today would have been good. But we were finding that the top 4" were slabbing off and dug a pit to find the MLK layer (we could feel it booting up) so another few inches on top would have been pretty sketchy. Aaron, do you have know the names for the next two lines that go to the lookers left of this one? This was the last line before the basalt took over until Bowl 4.

A little midweek stoke for you monday thru friday people

Headed east of the crest and found surprisingly good conditions for 4-8" of pow on top of a variable crust. got some shooting cracks on steep north facing slopes and the winds were blowing up high (~6k) so be mindful y'all

sunshine in the morning




then winter returned


tom is glad i talked him into another lap

Skied Baker for the first time today. It was super fun. Will be up there till Saturday.

kinda alotta snow up top of hwy. 542 kcokes, have some fun and hope some baker mags can give you some AK. training.

Heading to chamonix on the April 6th for 3 weeks. Took my new skilogik bomb squads out for the first time today. It's like super Mario land. Even I was jumping of stuff. Would love to hook up with some locals but I saw a ginormous crown off of chair 5???

Trying to get tomorrow off so i can go do some skiing at baker. Temps are looking slightly high, but hey its march 28. No complaints.

killingcokes iv got some on3p caylors and an orange jacket, black pants. give me a shout if ya see me.

Yeah I'm wearing a green North Face jacket and black pants with the ski logiks. Will look for you

You take the county line approach to Diamond Head? We found similar conditions farther east, powder, wet on top and deeper than expected.

PM sent..

Aaron - yeah we did. I like that approach. we essentially made a big loop back to the car. couple laps on d head, then toured SE to the summit of windy knob, a few laps there then down through the meadows back to the hwy.

Yeah, great tour.

I need to borrow multiple pair of Vert snowshoes. Would reimburse you for their use. Anyone can help or suggest please PM thanks.

nice tour stoke kevin, ahhh to have young legs again, oh well. i will be happy to ride lifts for a few more weeks if this poundage keeps up like winter, then we pull out the skins and let the dogs out.
