I tracked down a firend of one of the guys who climbed it and the friend saw the photos. He sent him an e-mail and hopefully will get back to us soon. If I get the guy's permission to post, I will. If not, maybe I can just print them out and bring them to the next pub club in Portland.

I have a st-st-studdering pr- pro- problem as well. Sorry.

Anyone been? What is the access like during winter and spring? Specific Areas to hit up? Recommendations? Any info. would be helpful. Thanks!

Just drove by it yesterday and still plenty of snow on the ground and on the ledges. May melt out the rest of this week, but you'll be chasing sun!
-
Heard you ran into my friend Stephen and his girl Sara over there. Said y'all had a blast. Sorry I missed it!
-
Anyone know the guys from P-Town who climbed this last week? I'd love to see the pics. Heard they were floating around the internet somewhere. Maybe already been posted on this site. Thanks.

Why don't you try spending four days out in 14 dregrees temps and only consume snow then Dru and see what happens. I'll bet you $100 that you will be dehydrated, especially if you are on the move. You'll be begging for an IV!
Eating snow may not directly link to dehydration, but if you are moving, expending energy (sweat) wearing heavy ski clothes than yes, you will get dehydrated after four days of consuming nothing else. The amount of water that you get from snow, especially dry snow, is not enough to balance out the amount of water you lose through sweat and evaporation. This may not be detrimental for a short period of time, but try doing that for as long as this guy did and tell me what color your piss is when you get out.

Maybe, but at least we have exceptional grammar!Southerner are stupid.I prefer the more specific quote of those from the State hosting the original Capital of the U.S. : "To be a Virginian either by Birth, Marriage, Adoption or even on one's Mother's side, is an Introduction to any State in the Union, a Passport to any Foreign Country, and a Benediction from the Almighty God."

jkrueger and I hit Bachy the last few days and it never stopped snowing! I have never seen it snow so hard here in Oregon. We were collecting snow drifts in our laps on the chairs up! First time for actually skiing in powder in Oregon rather than the Cascade Crud I am so used to. I thought I was back in the rockies! Man it was awesome! Plus, since the vis was down yesterday, it felt like we had the whole Rainbow chair area to ourselves!

Kiwi, why not go in from Aasgard and hike out Snow Lakes in a day as mentioned above? Since it will be 20 miles either way you do it (round trip), why not just head out and down Snow Lakes all the way out? I know many people that have done SNow Lakes in a day as well. If I were doing it in a day, which I haven't, I'd want a change of scenery and if you go out Snow Lakes it is all down hill the whole way whereas Aasgard you would have to hike back up from the lakes and then down and out on fairly flat ground once you reach Colchuck. My two cents. Plus you'll have to be stealth as I beleive that trailhead will still be closed next season, so hiding from Ranger Dick, I mean Rick - Da Tool - will need to be considered.

Agree with cj on buying or even borrowing a board down there. Plus, most people just sell them before they leave. Places to go learn: On the Carribena side think of Beach Break just south of the town of Puerto Viejo, an afro-carribean culture on the southeastern tip of costa rica just north of the border from Panama. Black sand beaches, pick up soccer matches on the beaches in the evenings with rastas, surfing all day, and you can rent bungalows on the beaches for less than $100/month. If on the Pacific side think about more remote beaches than the trendy Quepos area. O.K. surfing, but alot of tourons and thieves in the beach community. There is, however, a locals surf spot just south of the beach break where surfers jump off a cliff and paddle like mad to beat the freshwater crocodiles to the ocean! The Northern pacific coast has some really cool places like Playa Narjana (Haystack rock I believe) in Santa Rosa National Park. This area is remote and you will need a car as it is thirteen kms to the beach down a desert sand road. Also there are some excellent beach breaks on the Nicoya Peninsula like Playa Negra. Once you get really good, you will be able to attempt the Salsa Brava reef break in Puerto Viejo. Salsa Brava is rumored to break a board per day and the local reggae bar has broken boards tacked to its walls to prove it. There is a guy in Puerto Viejo who shapes boards and he let us borrow his demo boards for two weeks. He lives a bit outside of town up in the hills but within walking distance from the beaches. Have fun, wish I was going back!

Whatch out! Yo Country cousins is movin' to da big city!
-

If ya wanna ski backcountry, then go do so, other wise stick to the groomers at the resorts. Hahahaha!
who tries to duck the lines at Bachey! -
I am a bit confused. I thought that a size 14 boot only went up to 306mm. How big are your feet cletus? I doubt that a medium size binding would accomodate such a large boot. 270mm is = to a US 9 and 290 is = to a US 12. What up?Freerides are forward mounted 1.5 cms for a 310mm boot, in order to make the ride a bit more manageable in AT boots. Slap a larger boot in there, say 320-325mm and they'll effectively be mounted just a smidge ahead of the line, perfecto. -
Anyone know if ice is coming in round Mazama? Also, drive time in winter from Portland to Mazama? Thanks!

It was o.k. not some of their best stuff though. Hottie in there skiing some big mountain stuff that was pretty schweet, but too much twin tips snow park b.s. for me. I'd rather see some sick tele skiers instead of some kid who can't ski anything else except a pipe or a rail
. But, as always, there were still some sick scenes in it. -
What everyone else said. It is easy....in the right conditions. Last winter was awesome cause the weather was so stable compared to winters in the past. The schrund was even open in March last year. Your toughest opponent will be weather. Find a clear break, skin up, and enjoy it! The south side rarely slides, but knowing how to read the snowpack, dig test pits, and having a beacon with you is always good practice in the snowy backcountry.

Assuming he was jumping off the brick wall, his head/neck got lodged in between the gates and the force could have decapitated him, but wouldn't his body be on the other side of the fence? It does look a bit photoshopped, but one could go check out rotten.com to see if it is up there. They will usually put that kind of stuff on there.

I do, but only trust one company to do it.

I assume you are speaking of the Salt Creek Falls up Hwy 58 towards Willamette Pass? I know two people who have climbed Salt Creek Falls back in early 90's. The owner of the Crux Rock Gym in Eugene being one of them. He said it went at WI4/5 but was so unconsolidated that they could hear the whole thing creeking behind the ice and it was so thin that the leader didn't put in any protection for the last 60 feet of the climb. Said it was the scariest thing he's ever done. That said, it would have to get cold for a while to make that place freeze over. I check it every year and it never comes close for the 4 years I've been out here. Maybe one day!Salt Creek Falls AreaAnyone know more about it?

Here's the link to John Day Area Ice near strawberry mountain sent in by vert a while back too.

I'd still use an 8mm on Rainier or any other major peak in the Cascades for glacier slogs. I used an 8.8 mm for Denali and didn't think twice about it.

Any idea when that pic was taken? Ie. after the Hwy opened up or during the peak of the cold temps?
