Quote: "epic (as in Odyssey epic)". That is wonderful. It was a pleasure to show you fellows around one of the very best places on earth. This was a strong effort all around--probably about 75% whiteout for the alpine portions of the tour, with heads-up wet slide conditions in the steeps. I think we each had a few pounds of water weight in our gear by the end. I'm working on my own esoteric trip report, but Dan's will no doubt be better reading.

Based on what I can see of the Teanaway Mountains from I-90 that area is mostly melted.

Quote from: saxybrian on Yesterday at 04:44:03 PM You know you're from Texas Round here this time of year a good thing does not last long, so 8 new today can get 10 minutes of solar radiation and change snow flakes to clear flakes too. Hey but it's untracked something. Good thing is suncups will fill and pollen covered, bad.. more muck and stickyness due to that.

Yea, like pulling out all the stops to try and get the story killed. I guess freedom of the press is not one of their "enduring values". Despite their best heavy handed efforts, the story was aired. Kudos to KOMO for standing up to bullying tactics.

Quote from: jtack on Yesterday at 01:35:25 PM Screw work Dan, we need a report! Looks like a fantastic trip, nice work with the camera as well. Patience my friend. The narrative will come. I've got St. Helens planned for this Thursday/Friday so I'm hoping for Sunday writing Funny about the photos--my camera's LCD went out on the first day so I was guessing at what I was actually taking pictures of. I'm glad you approve.

You know you're from Texas when the first thing I thought of when you said, "south of boarder" was Where in Mexico can you ski. I had to think a few seconds.

But the freezing level's forecasted to go up considerably before they turn the lifts back on Saturday morning ;( http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Crystal-Mountain/6day/mid Not to mention that it got into the mid-30s up there today... I suspect what's on the ground now is total mank. Probably unstable, too. Tomorrow and Friday are both looking great for lift-served south-of-the-border in the land-of-no-sales-tax, though apparently they didn't spin anything today due to conditions. With no good beta from the area and nowhere to stay, I'm considering waiting it out until I hear that things will move before making a move of my own.

Colchuck lake Trail was in good shape on Sunday. Sandal worthy not ski boot worthy. IMHO.

Return to the board index.
