Trip: Rainy Pass - Heather Pass and a bit towards Frisco Mtn.

 

Date: 11/16/2007

 

Trip Report:

Spent Friday and Saturday breaking in the new splitboard with some friends up at Heather Pass. Ski track was well put in (thanks Josh, Travis, Larry), but getting buried in all the new snow on Saturday.

 

Friday was WARM and sunny, then cooler, which kept the snow in the shade in decent shape. Coverage was pretty good- but watch those rollovers. Only hit one small rock. Saturday started cold, then got vey snowy with low viz.

 

Had some god turns down to approx. 5,500 where there was a rain crust. New snow was actively sluffing off the rain crust down low as of late Saturday. Spoke with the WSDOT on Saturday and it sounds like they are trying to keep 20 open for a while. Get some while you can.

 

For you ice climberin' tyes- the roads cuts below Lib Bell are NOT in and getting buied.

 

 

Gear Notes:

Rode my new Voile Mojo split board- much improved over my old one. Still a little slower than skis on switchovers.

 

Approach Notes:

Skin track in good shape with the exception of some small slides.

 

Maybe some one more tech savvy than me can fix these images.
