January 2, 2013, Snoqualmie Pass

Breezy drive up i90 and fog at the pass had us weighing several options before deciding on Kendall reruns. Fog ended around 4500', sun was warm, but SE wind was pretty strong.  We found the easternmost easy access gully to have only three tracks, mostly blown in.  Great line, perhaps a bit hooky.  Then up the gentle wide gully to the north end of Kendall summit ridge in warm windless sunshine until the crest. Fine untracked light east facing old snow 4-8" deep for 1300'.  On the way out the most popular gully the skin track was blown in by a pesky downhill breeze.  The ski out Kendall trees provided more untracked 4-8" soft powder rewarding careful line selection.  What a past few weeks!
