Trip: North Sister - Ski Circumnavigation and Ice Pictures
Date: 1/20/2011
Trip Report:
I had a great day yesterday doing a ski circumnavigation of North Sister with a couple of buddies. Firm conditions prevailed, so the turns weren't the best, but the views were spectacular.
The NE Face of Middle Sister is in FAT, and the Emde/Abao Route to the left is in too.
The classic NE Face:

Gear Notes:
There are few routes on the Linn Glacier Headwall area too.
Approach Notes:
You can drive to the final junction of the road, 3 miles from the Pole Creek trailhead. We took a snowmobile in to the trailhead.
