Stunning Dan. Some of your best photos yet. And I like the name

http://powdercanada.com/2012/02/looking-for-the-ultimate-backcountry-purist/ Just paste this post with your application. Although I'd feel sorry for the guide who got assigned to you....

I was wondering who that was! Nice one Kurt. We watched you ski it and was wondering where you might be headed. http://www.turns-all-year.com/skiing_snowboarding/trip_reports/index.php?topic=23470.0

That right there is the definition of Dansanity. So, so, inspiring Dan. Thanks for the longer than usual write-up!

Glad you found someone V!! Way to get 'er! Extra style points for teaming up with a Canuck, and great pictures. Worth the ropes in my opinion, although that's coming from someone with a full time job who's perpetually broke.

So good to get out with you Dan! And so glad to hear that your knee felt fine. Nice write up too. Yes Matt, this was a one night deal. We left the car around milepost 17 I think, a little after 11 am on saturday. Made it back to the car some time around 8 pm on sunday I think. This was an incredibly strong group, including Dan and his untested knee. Dan didn't mention that as we set out from our car he realized that he'd forgotten his inhaler for his asthma. So he jogged the 6 or so mikes back to his car to retrieve it, then hitched to within a mile of our parked car, and managed to join up with us just as we sat down to melt snow at our bivy just below the north side of Cache Col.

Love the vegetation shots! Super cool you two- thanks for posting!

In honor of Monika Johnson, who died last February in a cornice accident, a group of friends have put together the Monika Johnson Avalanche Education Scholarship, or Yuki Awards. Award recipients get a free Avy 1 course in exchange for helping spread the word on avalanche awareness. A great cause inspired by a great woman. Details can be found here: yuki awards

Fantastic!!!! I'm in awe. Nice writing too.

Way to go you two!! Sounds epic in all the right ways.

just saw this today- great trip and TR!

Nice one Rick- that's a classic for sure. Way to get after it this year! Seems like you've been everywhere....

Yaaaay for the Rats!!!

Nice one Aaron!

Damn Kyle....what to stay after it!

Looking for a partner and/or route suggestions for a day or two in Bozeman. A multi pitch trad climb would be great. pm me if interested

That was fun Dan! Looking forward to the next time....

awesome trip Donn! Thanks for the photos and details.

Gregg Cronn and I skied Baker and Shuksan in a single push through the night of July 1st. We climbed the C-D, skied the Park, climbed the Fisher Chimneys, and skied the Sulphide. I posted a full TR on TAY (http://www.turns-all-year.com/skiing_snowboarding/trip_reports/index.php?topic=21413.new#new)

awesome Tim!

Way to go you guys! Looks like full on alpine adventure....

Alpine Jason H. on Columbia East Face: Skiing Sky on T.C.: Ice Dan H on Mt Robson:

I've only just seen this thread- wasn't aware that it had crossed over. Funny.....Monika never posted here because she thought the site was hard to navigate. She'd be stoked to see that folks give a damn. To answer two of the questions I've seen here: - Monika returned the bike and asked for a refund. She never received a dime. And as I mentioned in the TAY thread, she paid for the forensic bike test that REI requested with money from her savings. Around 10k. She was never reimbursed, even though REI issued a recall of similar bikes when the results came back (sadly, another woman was injured in a different state for identical reasons) Monika probably saved REI from other lawsuits. - Monika worried very much about asking for too much in her settlement. She actually felt guilty at times asking for anything. She was asking for reimbursement of medical expenses, lost wages, lost vacation hours, future lost wages, and I believe an additional amount due to pain and suffering attributed to TBI (traumatic brain injury). She never discussed a sum total with me, I never asked. I know that more than anything she just wanted to get on with her life. This whole thing continues to make me sick. I need to go skiing.....

Once in a lifetime shot Dan (and Zach)! So so cool.
