Trip: Silver Star Mountain - Silver Star Glacier

Trip Date: 05/19/2018

Trip Report:

Current conditions on Silver Star Mountain are pretty good for Skiing.  Unfortunately, I booted my way up SS Glacier on 5/19 via Silver Star Creek! It was a lot of work in bad conditions.  Snow coverage became consistent around 5000 feet.  Full trip report: Spokalpine

Gear Notes:
No crampons needed

Approach Notes:
Silver Star Creek

D'oh!  Thanks for the report, and glad you made it happen despite the suffering.

I think with the new site you could just cut and paste the content directly from your blog @The Real Nick Sweeney?  You know, for those too lazy to follow your link....Thanks for considering it!

Oh, and you saw the views on Sunday.  I was going to ask about that.  Ouch, that makes it even more painful.  In the future, I've found the UW model to be the best predictor of clouds and rain coverage, esp. 24-48 hours out.  I use the 4km loops for 1 hr. precip and Column integrated cloud water.   It was spot on this past weekend.
