Last Friday I got out for a long run on the PCT by Crystal and a bit of a winter wake-up. I probably should've realized it when I saw a lone plow truck past Greenwater, but I was a bit surprised to pull into Chinook Pass at 37 degrees with 3-4 inches of snow on the ground. Most of the Naches Peak loop was snow-covered, but traction wasn't too bad, so I kept going from Chinook on the PCT over Sourdough Gap and along the ridge all the way to Norse Peak. Most of the snow tapered off past Sourdough, with shaded aspects holding a little bit. It wound up being a great tour of Crystal BC, past Threeway, Bullion Basin, and Norse with spectacular views from Adams to Rainier, Crystal, and Norse Peak Wilderness.

Decent early accumulation over Sourdough Gap, then it disappeared.

Looking south from Norse Peak, before starting the long return to Chinook Pass.
Amazing!Quote:

A gorgeous, if uncharacteristically warm and dry, PNW fall day.
Took advantage of the gorgeous weather to get out for some late season skiing last night. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...da50dbcbda.jpg
That would keep me satisfied for a couple seasons! Good looking haul. Haven't found any patches in my new 'hood yetQuote:

Lovely! Strong work, packing a spare human just in case.
Funny enough, the yellow carpet floats- I’d be trundling along on larch needles, then without any surface changes just step in an ankle deep puddle…..nice day regardless.

Brace yourselves for the storm of the century, or at the least, October 2023.

Not sure if any accumulation will remain as part of the season's snowpack but the VPF is looking good.
