Where is Kyle coming out of? Looks unfamiliar . . . maybe I've been away too long . . .Everything in moderation, including moderation . . .

Love those shots, specially the ones w/ the pooches! If you had aired those rocks, would they have hucked themselves too?

Yeah, looks like flagpole to me. One of the pics shows a shoulder of Echo that I've skied before with the south rampart of Talac behind.
That shoulder of Echo has some of the best trees I've ever skied."if the city is visibly one of humankind's greatest achievements, its uncontrolled evolution also can lead to desecration of both nature and the human spirit."

The title under my name says how I feel about this thread.
Went out this morning as well. No pics to prove it but it was the best near face shots that I've had at low elevation this year. The surface snow was so cold and light that it made a hissing sound as it sluffed away after each turn."In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, — no disgrace, no calamity, (leaving me my eyes,) which nature cannot repair." -Emerson

Actually Tallac and the South ramp is out of view. The pic that shows the sun touching the peak is Jakes. Originally Posted by Telenater

Nice! Wish there was some easily accessed stuff (besides Sunrise Bowl or Mt. Rose) up here. Err, why don't I just go do those?

Thanks for the skintrack, bcr. We used it on the upper half. Kyle blazed a death track up the right side of the big avy path for the lower half. I was relieved to reach yours finally.
I agree with you 'nater, the lower Echo trees are about as good as it gets.
Great conditions at the South Shore right now! I haven't seen one sign of a natural slab slide anywhere on the south shore. Has anybody else? A friend of mine said he saw a huge fracture across the face of Flagpole in the middle of the last storm, but I never saw it while skinning up today. It's probably filled in since.
I sucked...I mean hucked, the rock on the right, but the dogs were long gone.....

Yeah SC…we also saw the old crown that ripped from the flagpole treed gully. Looks like it happened during the storm (new snow was on top ) and it was 2-3ft thick.
So did you guys go more on the Hollywood side? The right side of the big avy path would put you to the lookers left of our ascent route earlier in the year. You didn’t go by the alders? The lines on the descent look different too which leads me to believe you did. Any beta on that side is appreciated. On or off line.

bcr and i saw what looked liked it could have been an older slide crown on flagpole monday. it was at the top of the avy gully, starting about 30' into the trees.
our second lap on waterhouse we came off the top, rather than dropping skiers right like the lap before. i was crossing the top of the slope when i set this little one loose. I didn't go with it, but did have to side step down the exposed rock face.
