Most definitely! Much type 1 and type 2 fun was had.

Trip: Glacier Peaks Wilderness - Glacier Peak via Gerdine Ridge Date: 2/28/2015 Trip Report: Linked up with E. Linck and R. Kresser for an in-a-day attempt of Glacier Peak via North Fork Sauk Trail and Gerdine Ridge. We turned around ~1000 ft below summit due to high winds and diminishing energy/time safety buffer. We experienced mild instability in ~6" storm slab on NW slopes but there was very little propagation. Later in the day, thawing instabilities on steep S aspects below White Mountain resulted in significant roller ball debris piles, making route-finding through this section quite tense.

Trip: Mt Hood - Wy'east Face Date: 1/31/2015 Trip Report: Climbed and skied the Wy'east face with Ethan Linck on Saturday, January 31. Approached via a very boney Vista Ridge, which we portaged from the top of Meadows until the base of the face. Snow was icy but held and edge from the top at 10am.
