Skinned up Mt. Catherine on Saturday. Spitting rain in the summit east parking lot at first. Wandered the ski trails a bit before discovering we were too high up and had to ski down some logged terrain and across a valley to get to our destination. There are a lot of interesting creek crossings down in that valley. Once we caught the groomed trail and bridge again, we skinned into the old growth on a counter-clockwise climbing traverse. The snow became really nice at a very distinct elevation (just below the cliff bands). Topped out and had a great ski down until the glop down low. Not a lot of views, but fun skiing. Snow was quite stable in the trees.
