The snow was tricky most of the way except for some turns, surprisingly, right off the top and then beside and immediately below crater rock. It was a 'my kingdom for a groomer' kind of day and yet still fun. Saw Dave and Glen on their way to a circumnavigation.

 

Gear Notes:

left pieps, puffy, probe & shovel in the car

Attempted the "dog" route on Sat Night. We experienced some fairly nasty weather with wind chills below -20F. Despite that we were doing ok until just below the hogs back. My gf finally got shut down by altitude sickness and we decided to turn around.

 

Within 2-3 minutes clouds had enveloped the 20 or so climbers just reaching the hogsback. 2-3 minutes after that the clouds were probably 500ft lower. I was amazed at how fast the weather changed. I hope those at the HB were smart enough to turn back or experienced enough to deal with what must surely have been whiteout conditions above.

It is scary how quickly and drastically the weather can turn.

These were some views from the east Sunday around noon:

And this unfortunate view we stumbled upon roughly

1/2 mile up White River from the snowpark:

pre-season plywood booters are unacceptable.
