Asfahl Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) Trip: Alpental Backcountry - Pineapple Basin via Source LakeTrip Date: 03/01/2020Trip Report: Spent the final day of my AIARE 1 course with a clutch of stoked and smart folks, along with Trevor and Joe from PGS. Reached our decision point at Source Lake around 10:00am, just in time to see some sun-induced loose wet slide activity on the main Chair Peak apron, which didn’t seem to bother the hoards of folks underneath them... decided to reject our option to Snow Lake slopes. Toured up into Pineapple Basin in a group of 12 total (!); found rather fantastic north-facing snow up there, with the Friday/Saturday storm snow generally well bonded to the 2/22 interface. Two runs on Pineapple Express, with pretty flat light in the afternoon (2nd) run. A fine place to cement a few days of avalanche training! Gear Notes: AT gear, about 30 homemade cookies for the crewApproach Notes: Plenty of folks in the basin that day, watch out for yellow snow Edited March 3, 2020 by Asfahl Added pics Quote
Kameron Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Cookies + pow = nice That slope above Source definitely deserves more respect than many give it.... Quote
Alisse Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Homemade cookies, that's +5 partner points for sure! Quote
