In 2007 Sky and Dan skied a loop at Cascade Pass that I've wanted to do ever since. Over Cache col, around Magic Mountain, up Hurry Up Peak, down the S glacier, up to the Pelton-Magic col, down the Yawning glacier and out Cascaded Pass. Sky called it the Magic-S-Loop, or Da Magic Sloop. http://skisickness.com/CascadePass/SLoop/. You can get a good sense of the loop from this photo, taken by Bob Bolton and posted on summitpost.com:
The route is highlighted by a descent of the S Glacier on Hurry-up Peak, first skied by Lowell, Carl, and Andreas in 2002:
The route is one of my all time favorites and is in great condition. I posted a full TR here:

Awesome work Ryan that has been on my tick list as well.
Andres and I were eyeing the vicinity of the Yawning Gl. when we were there a week ago. #$&#$(&#$& ankle wouldn't have any of that. $)&@#$#& injuries! At least you weren't avalanched on & cut up from the debris like some of us were on Sahalee. That made the whole ascent a waste of time in my book. Good trip Ryan.
nice one Ryan....great write-up
Nice write-up for sure, Ryan, thanks for linking it here -- sounds like a good day for you.
Sweet :)!
Looks like a great trip, Ryan. Hopefully we can get out for a tour or some climbing soon!
Most Excellent Ryan. That area is great.
