Stevens was pretty good! Stick to low angle terrain and be light on the edges, no problem. Surprisingly satisfying. Cold, dry, light wind, not crowded til noon.

I’ve missed truly cold winters a bit since moving here 9 years ago; when I venture back to intermountain climates I’m stunned by clear, cold days.
BUT! At the risk of drawing fire from locals, a...

Norse- we didn’t get very far, decent size stuff was shedding and we turned around at about 11k. Your pics still look like decent skiing is up there! Classy

Half circumnav, edmunds headwall via white river access…lots of poking around and gorgeous, ended up being too hot and too much overhead hazard.

Yup. I let my discount go by last night, probably gonna skip it. Sigh.

But touring!

Kinda conflicted about buying a stevens pass- I only got 5 days on mine this year with about 100 days of touring, but those 5 were good, with good friends. I just hate giving any money to Vail. I...

Outstanding work by everyone! Thanks for the inspiration, lots of spring left and up high it feels like it hasn’t even started yet…

You know the pits full of plastic balls for kids? I skied them in that condition, but refrozen. Still cool, but I’m not in a rush to return.

I have; sadly not quite as good as they look from town. Definitely worth a go on a big year, and certainly enjoyable, but more brushy and less epic than i hoped.
Approach and deproach are some...

Here’s a few from the last week, I’m so tired and grateful….

Surprisingly straightforward, given the usual thrashing requirements around there. One hour from sled parking to camp in the basin!

Yes- that summit is one of the most comprehensive east aspect views from Clark to Glacier that I’ve had the pleasure to ponder.

Yeah, strong work! Been gazing wistfully during all seasons and finally got a chance. Fabulous above 5k, character building below.

Hardly worth the effort….best to wait for the next cycle.

Corn began just below 10k in the Finger,and skied really well all the way to the bridge! Sastrugi on the summit dome was incredibly harsh water ice claws, (we walked down about 700 ft before putting...

Excellent weather window for a trip up high- ready for more snow, but it certainly was a satisfying PNW outing!

Yeah, spent a night up there to milk the most skiing out of the approach. Excellent results on the effort.

Based on my occasional glimpses into the preseason talk among employees, I’d expect a total junk show. I tried to opt out of my season pass purchase in September but I’d paid the $49 deposit.

Indeed a shame to see more hot rain coming.
