    Twin Sisters

    in North Cascades

    Posted

    Hello everyone

    Does anyone have any beta on the Twin Sisters near Mt. Baker? I know you have to hike up a logging road for 6 miles because the gate is lock but I'm thinking of taking a Mtn. Bike. Just wonder if the road is snowed in still and wonder how the conditons is like up there....

    Thanks for any input

    hey I would be interest in the images or pictures of the area. I attempt it 3 years ago but weather got the better in me. We also had problems with the "imperfect passe" as we try to accent to Perfect Pass. Email the images at JERSAN@SAFECO.COM

    thanks

    SKI MOUNTAINEER RACE?

    in Climber's Board

    Posted

    All I have to say is for once I'm glad that I'm sitting in my desk job and resting after yesterday's Ski Mountaineering Race. The race was brutal and the snow just plain SUCK! But the race was fun and I'm glad that I did it. It started with a stiff climb to Piss Pass and than a short 400 feet ski decent down around a gate. Then it was climb back up to Piss Pass and then ski back down to the start line. Then you climb towards Source Lake and up all the way to Pineapple Pass near The Tooth. Then you drop down and climb back up to Piss Pass and then ski back to the start line. There was also a lot of traversing and the snow conditions went from hard crust to breakable crust and some old avalanche deprives to negotiate. I was in the top 10 at the beginning of the race but I miss one of the gates going down, so I had to climb back up and go around that gate. The top 3 for both men and women won some prizes and cash but there were tons of prizes given out as a raffle. I got an Alpine Bivi Sack. There was also pizza and beer after the race. This is the second race of its kind in the United States and next year they will have another race here but it may be at Steven’s Pass. I will do it again next year but I’m planning to train this time.

    For me it was decending after not able to locate a way to cross the deep dike that we had to cross to climb up Perfect Pass to Mt. Challenger. The 18 miles hike out in one long wet day was so measerable that I hardly remember it. It rain so hard that there was a creek running down the trail. It took 2 weeks to dry everything out.

    What is up for all this snow? I'm sure it is great for skiing but wonder how the climbing routes will be like this summer. I wonder if road access will be a problem. spring is just few more days and it feels like January outside...

    Hello everyone

    Just wondering if anyone been up to the Chiwakums range located about 20 miles east of Steven's Pass. I heard it has some good bowls to ski on but there is about an eight miles hike in plus extra for the unplow road. I was thinking of heading up there this weekend and stay up there for one night. Plan on packing light and go....

    Thanks for any info
