Jim Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 We left one car at the Annette Lake TH early Sunday morning. Should have done all this on Saturday when it was sunny. Skied up from the Silver Fir chair (in drizzle) then the groomed trail to Ollalie meadows. Up the cleacut in decreasing visibility, snow, 20mph wind, fog. Didn't need skins yet as the 8 inches of new was very sticky, leading to platform on the the ski bottow. Snow got better in the Siver Peak basin. Skined up to the upper basin, up and over the west ridge. Didn't pause because there was nothing to see. Snowy and blowy. Skied the open slope below the summit to Annette Lake. Snow cover is low, little cornices instead of the usual monsters. Got lost looking for the trail out. Found it, skied the best we could. Snow ran out, we walked. Very wet by the time we reached the car. Went and had a beer. Stupid day for this trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
