    Middle Sister Beta Needed

    in Oregon Cascades

    Posted · Edited by Thrashador

    Our group ascended the north ridge and skied the east face from pole ck. friday morning. It was a scorcher and by 9:30 am the goods were nearly cooked. There's still plenty of snow and few holes open save for the baby schrund's at the foot of each face. A crow flies roughly 5.5 miles from pole ck. to the top. It's a solid day or you have lots of timberline snoozing options.

    What a whinefest! The USFS is too easy a target. Pick on someone your own size. btw, there's lots of turns to be had in the Sisters. Less people too. Seek and ye shall find. Just don't rely on the government too much; it's a bad habit. mushsmile.gif

    Bit of an overstatement. Mexico's side was/is somewhat of an over-the-hill-gang fer sure. Their cheap shots near the end, especially those on Kobi, were an utter disgrace and a testament to the USA's talent and discipline. In short, the USA kicked Mexico's ass! [Eek!]

    Note to all: beware of the Mt. Hood Meadows cretins and their plan to develop Cooper Spur into an uber destination resort. [hell no] Check Off Piste for some solid info on the subject.

    Either route from Pole Creek involves some glacier travel. Both glaciers, the Dillard and Hayden, are straightforward so long as you start early, steer clear of any holes, and ski what you climb if you're unfamiliar with the terrain. Haven't skied the Sisters yet this plentiful snow year(had a trip planned a week ago Tuesday but the thunder, lightning, and rain kept us home)though even during last year's drought the Hayden and Dillard were relatively harmless in late April early May. If you wish to avoid glaciers alltogether approach from the west side not Pole Creek. Hope this helps. Have a blast out there!
