Bigtree Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Trip: Summer skiing on Mt. Baker - Coleman-Demming Date: 7/2/2007 Trip Report: Had a great Saturday skiing on Baker. The Friday rain must have spooked most folks so we had the place pretty much to ourselves (at least until days-ends when the long weekend hoards started to arrive). Left the car at Helitrope Ridge trailhead at ~ 5:30 am and had a very liesurely hike/skin up to the Roman Wall arriving at ~ 2 pm. The ski down to the Hogsback took ~ 30 mins or so and we were back to the car by 5:30 pm and on the 9 pm sailing home to the island. The best snow for crank'n the turns was from the Roman Wall down to just above the Black Buttes. Regrettably, it took that long to find my legs after the skin up. Below that, it was like skiing through sludge. Moi: Black Buttes area: The only notable crevasse at the top of the Coleman glacier: Roman Wall: Gear Notes: AT gear w ski crampons, std. avi & glacier travel gear. Approach Notes: Trail to Heliotrope Ridge is clear and in decent shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
