Jonathan in the Nisqually Chute:

Note: If you don't stick to the trail too much, you can skin most of the way from Pdise to Camp Muir with just a few portages.

Note that although our ascent entailed several portages of a very short distance (i.e., like about from a resort base lodge to a lift corral), our descent was entirely portage-free . . . well, except for tromping over some vegetation for about a meter or so, for which GJ started to chastise me, at first because I thought he was concerned about the fragile alpine ecology, but then it turned out he was more concerned about my Trabs.

Also, although I did take a course in grad school from the econ prof that youtube video mocks, this is actually the conference:
