Skiied from Artist Point to the SW side of Table Mt. At the start of the traverse over toward Herman Saddle we found some creamy goodness.



Nice pics, Scott.

Hey, let's hook up for a ski tour one of these days.  It's been too long.

I agree, on both counts.

Nice view of the slopes around Coleman Pinnacle on the second picture.  Probably some great runs there right now but a little farther to get to from the winter parking lot than summer.

For sure, though we did see some nice tracks on the slopes at the extreme right edge of that second picture.

Went out there yesterday, around the base of Coleman Pinnacle, not quite all the way there. It was great and didnt take too long at all. Still had time for Ptarmigan (or Video peak) as well as a skin up to the top of table and a run out on the hermann side.

That was the best snow I have seen out there in awhile.  No wind buff and 3" of new on top of 12-15 of dry, creamy powder.  A bliss filled Presidents Day.  Still, its such a long hike out there. ;)
