Due to the closure of MRNP, Schwerkraft and I were forced to get creative. We left Seattle on Friday, and bivied on a FS road just W of Hood. Saturday was clear and not too cold, so after a sweet buffet breakfast at the lodge, we took a single liftride up to the top of the Palmer. We then meandered our way up the Hogback; our summit plans were nixed due to funky icy slopes. The run down to the snowfield was a fun mix of firnspiegel, manky ice, and pseudo-corn, and then chopped up groomers to within 200 yrds of the Lodge. Not as epic as some other Novembers, but worth the drive for sure.

Nice! I was thinking about making it up that way but didn't get around to it. The fresh snow line's pretty far up the mountain right now - won't be that way for long though
