Rainier Roundup 2025: Ptarmigan Ridge, Central Mowich Face, Sunset Ridge, Fuhrer Thumb, Tahoma Glacier Ski Descents and Liberty Ridge Solo

Posted (edited)

This spring, I spent some time climbing and skiing up on Mount Rainier. I have gone back and forth on whether I cared to share any of my ski activity on Rainier this spring as it felt deeply personal, but I ultimately thought it would be fun to collect some of my thoughts and experiences as well as to provide some entertainment and inspiration.

I'd like to give a huge thank you to everyone who has supported my spring ski season up here on Mount Rainier including Henry Coppolillo, Bailey Servais, George Hedreen, Sam Hoffman, Calvin Jirico and Kiira Antenucci. I'd also like to thank and recognize all of the people that have paved the way for big mountain skiing on Mount Rainier including Andy Bond, Sky Sjue, Aaron Mainer, Peter Dale, Eric Wherly, Dan Helmstedter and many, many more. Your style and vision for the mountains is incredibly infectious and we all aim to humbly carry on the legacy you have established here on Mount Rainier. 

I've attached some high res photos down below!
