John and I completed a box-checking exercise on 8/7/08. We skied a small patch (100ft) of snow on Lower International at Alpental. The snow was soft and littered with twigs and dirt.

Those pictures demonstrate the sort of irresponsible skiing that gives the sport a bad reputation. No avy beacons, no shovels, no probes... The risks you're taking are insane!
;D
I was up that way a week ago; it looked like Upper I was much better connected. Did you try heading up further, or has it melted out?

We didn't get a chance to take a look. John was moving upslope under the influence of a brew named after a local mountain and I had to pick the kids up from daycare so we had to resign ourselves to the little slice of heaven lower down.
Dedication. That's all that can be said
I agree with Hedgie---shouldn't you be wearing gloves when skiing in a talus field?!?! ::)
