Bump... any chance there is still some interesting snow on rainier? Success point culoir?
Success point was out ages ago. I think the best snow left is probably on the Russell, maybe the Emmons below the sketchy crevasses
2 yrs ago about this time I was working w a young hungry splitter. Him and his buddy rallied from Bozeman to ski Rainier. They were thwarted by heavy crevasses skied some ok pitches and lots of terrible conditions. I was stoked for them gave him a few things. At the same time i was like wtf. Not a great time to try but whatever.
Thanks for he beta. I thought anything with snow would also have crevasses. Not worth the drive from BC. Let's hope for some September turns.
Dude biked to Waddington and climbed it, goddamn.

That was worth reading, thanks. Good pictures too. The descriptions of days 11 and 12 are burly.
That was an amazing trip. Those guys had some serious willpower. Bravo!

An end to an era
The last of his kind.
Anyone planning to see any of these? I'm going to try to make it to the TGR and Salomon films... Maybe the MSP and WM films too.

I could do the Friday TGR and/or MSP.
I'm doing late TGR show on Thurs if anyone wants to say hi, don't think I've knowingly met anyone from here. MSP is like $40 once you factor in Ticketmaster bullshit, might see if day of tickets are cheaper?
Going to the late tgr show + skiitour. Those fellas put on a fun show.
Missed this or I would've tried to introduce myself. Abraham and I bounced before the skiitour party kicked off. The TGR flick was fun, but man, I guess I've been spoiled by The Fifty, Schirmer's stuff, etc. Haven't seen a ski movie in the big screen on a while. Sick skiing and gorgeous scenery, but no storyline, and there wasn't a shot in the movie that rivaled that top down flyover shot from Cody's polar star episode. So kind of a classic ski movie I guess--fun, lotta stoke, light on substance.Quote:

Baker getting hammered this week. I wonder if they’ll be spinning lifts?

Wow, they might have to dig out those top of volcano lifts.

Classic PNWet — snow up high, rain in the lot.
I'll bring a six pack of ironic swill for whomever sets the skintrack :fmicon:
Did anyone catch this news from Snoqualmie?
[sorry, I see now this has been covered in the Edelweiss chair thread.]Quote:
General parking permits for other visitors and backcountry travelers will be available for $55 per day. A permit is required to park in all Summit/Alpental lots 7am-2pm. Lot restrictions apply on peak days and availability will be limited.
I hadn't heard about this event prior to today:

In case you get paywalled the basic info is there's a ski show at Magnuson Park Hangar 30 on October 18th and 19th called "Snowvana."
Shameless cross-post from gear swap:

Help me afford a parking pass the one day of the year I go to snocrummy!
