mneagle Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 After living in Salt Lake City for almost a year now I find myself incredibly homesick for the North Cascades. Sure the access to ice, rock and the best skiing in the world are only 15-25 minutes from my doorstep, climbing towers down around moab is cool and Zion has some amazing walls, but I deeply miss the whole alpine experience of the North Cascades. You can't beat humping in a loaded pack, bushwhacking up a slide alder slope, crossing a glacier and taking off up a granite peak and descending by headlamp. I'd trade the access here for a 3 hour drive to the Pickett's trailhead any day. Be thankful for what you have. See you in 20 months when my fellowship ends. Quote

The skiing and boarding here sucks. Time on the slopes would be okay if it weren't for all the Elders trying to get you to take a free Book. Quote
