Road skinnable from Marble Mountain Snopark except the first 100 yards. Nice freeze overnight (25 in the lot at 6am) made for great skin and ski conditions. Crampons were handy for the final 1000' before noon but not after 1pm. Light cloud and light breeze kept us comfortable. Freebird called it one of his top five corn days ever! Skiing was great 1" corn all day. Yoshiko did an amazing job to summit on her first ever skinning day! Blisters made her day short on Friday tho.

Thanks for your company Thursday evening in the parking lot. I clearly have a lot to learn about car camping cuisine.
Yoshiko, you rock. What's next - Rainier?

Actually "next" was some hiking, yoga, and retail therapy on the drive back to Seattle for those blistered shins from the cuff of her jogging tights inside the ski boots.
