Snow in the PNW 13/14

[kevino]

Another biweekly binge in the Stuart range. Objective A shut us down but we still found some good skiing.

Glad I kept the snows on the car.

I haven't been up that way this spring, is the road still closed at 8 Mile campground?

[kevino]

As of this weekend yes, though I'd call the ranger station. I talked to them last week and they are close to opening it. Snow free till 8 mile TH.

trying to pick a destination for tomorrow, not quite sure where will be the best

^^^Unless you're touring, your options are limited.

sklar's been known to earn his turns. Would recommend getting above 4k as today's temps have climbed substantially. South Cascades got more than anyone else, not sure if that's a good or bad thing...

Good spring pow at mission ridge yesterday

was hoping to get back to the tatoosh this weekend for attempt #2 at the other weekend's failed mission, but stability might not agree with that.
crystal is closed, so maybe touring around there, but i don't really know the area

Check out turns all year for post.lift.served trip reports and such.

jah, opting for the bike tomorrow, not to keen to walk around in windy rain/snow mix for questionable turns

support the southern resort and now parking is free.

irregardless I will continue to display my parking permit as a small and meaningless protest.

Since I just don't feel it worth doing a full Ghandi.

I thought you only did private gondys.

WTF?

[PNWbrit]

Mahatma would burn his parking pass.

[Toadman]

Not too shabby today at Xtal. Low crowds. Mellow vibes, and a bit of dust on top of 12" of firm crust.

Watched a ski decent of Chair Peak today, which was insane

[bfree]

Awesome. I've stared down that face and couldn't imagine skiing down it, absurdly steep and exposed.

[Greydon Clark]

Breakable? Is tomorrow worthwhile?

Skiing Chair... wow.

Skiing Chair... wow.

I was up today and am trying to decide the same thing. I'm leaning towards no.

It was getting torn up and starting to get warm/ corny. Temps will drop tonight and aren't supposed to get warm tomorrow

Loop around Mt Angeles in the Olympics -


Climbed from the Switchback TH, circling around the west shoulder to the summit.










Skied down along our ascent route.









Climbed all the way back to the summit after debating the weather, then dropped north.





Ascended eastward to a saddle, dropped into the large NE bowl.





Climbed southward to Victor pass, skied to the car.











Interesting mix of conditions. Cold dry pow atop edgeable crust in the shade, shmoo in the sun after mid-morning. South facing coverage starting to thin out, but still lots of snow up there.

[Greydon Clark]

Nice turns in the Olympics.

just heard a completely non-informative blurb on the news about a slide - perhaps inbounds? - at Alpental today that injured someone. Anyone know anything? Everyone out there OK?
