Great day on North aspects around Snoqualmie, even the Source Lake exit wasn’t bad after some sun affect. Kept it mellow and type 1 after all the slides in the area.

Great shots! What a day for “spring skiing”.

Such great snow out there. For those not in the Alpental thread, here's an NWAC post on the slide that caught/buried SVS on Saturday. He's pretty banged up but doing well.

The corn cycle is ON.
Below 5000, the kernels start to ripen about 11:00, earlier below 4k.
Above 5000, stuff on South faces are still crunchy until 1:00 or so. After that, the sweet creamed corn is the special of the day.
Above 5500, North faces hold cold pow, cut up or softly edgeable chalk where it's been skied.
Point is, it's really good out there. Sunshine, ski on lifts, low key quality spring skiing.

What is going on with SeaTac? Is that TSA line the new normal?

hoping to smash & grab the fuhrer finger this weekend with this high pressure/super stable weather.
any advice on timing so that we get the finger just as it corns up? would rather have corn in the finger and shmoo lower, if possible. freezing levels are quite high (10-11k) and weather is stable
thanks mags, stoked to head your way for some turns

Would depend on winds etc., but my guess would be around noonish for corn in the Finger.
Beware of the schmoo on the Wilson glacier. I cut some big scary wet slides on that thing returning from the Finger, and it added a sour note to the end of an otherwise great day. At the very least ensure nobody is below you if things are moving in that section. If you decide to exit via Van Trump park/Comet falls trail, you will avoid the treacherous SE-facing lower Wilson. And still get a great descent.

Ha! This is a last minute smash and grab otherwise I would have tried to meet up with some mags up your way. Weather window is good so we're moving quick.
Great point - the lower Wilson glacier has been popping off quite a few times when I've been on Rainier. Would you recommend going down Van Trump Park?
I've been up Rainier three times before (once from Van Trump), and i'm not opposed to the idea at all - head down the turtle, down van trump, etc - just wondering if that's preferable.
Thanks guys!

When I skied the Kautz, we went down Van Trump. It is an enjoyable corny zone. I've even gone up that way on a different (failed) attempt at the Kautz. If you have the ability to do a car shuttle, it's damn easy. It's definitely more work going up that way, as you start lower, but you avoid climbing up underneath the icefall hazard of the Wilson/Nisqually confluence. I guess you could probably ski to below Comet Falls, currently. Comet Falls area is it's own avy slope/terrain trap to watch out for, though.
They're all good! Just wanted to give a heads up on that Wilson slope.
I think with a Finger descent, timing wise you should expect better snow in Van Trump than on the lower Wilson, if you want to maximize decent snow.

I had these guys remove a huge cedar from the front of my house in Issaquah last summer. Great price and service.
