salbrecher Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 I got pretty ripped up trying to ACCESS the alpine to ski. Road was so overgrown the we counted about 7 woody species and visability was down to about 75m . Had to employ the chuck skiis ahead 2m and crawl through criss crossing alders method. Moved 700M in 1hr . Decided to go climb at squamish instead Quote
fleblebleb Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 WHOOO-HOO-HOO THAT'S ME IN A SKI PIC, har-dee-har-har. That's a first Hey Matt can I grab copies of the rest of the pics somewhere? I was shooting film, probably won't finish it for another week or two. Quote

nonanon Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 A friend and I climbed the Tilly Jane trail just for fun. We didn’t hit snow until around 4,900’ after which there were only a few spots of bare ground to cross. Made it to the A-frame in 1hr45m and continued up along the Southern ridge of the Elliot until we got to 7,300’. As usual, the snow was pretty wind-impacted up there and it sure didn’t look like it’d be getting much better further up, so we pulled the pin and ripped back down over variable ice and crust to treeline where conditions improved muchly. For the rest of the afternooon we followed the “never leave good snow to find good snow” school and fired-off laps of tree shots before heading down trail. The trail had corned up nicely and we were able to fly down to snowline with only a little mowing of beargrass. No epics of mountaineering will be written about our trip. We just had a fun day on skis. Good to see you here, Extremo! Good luck with that knee. Quote
gapertimmy Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 DAMN! drooool. I spent my weekend doing a SAR navigation GPS course. The weather was shite here in central OR. Saturday had rain, hail and then snow in town. Glad you guys had a good time up there Quote

gapertimmy Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 bend is the plabbest, we are just in the midst of our short spring. besides, the weather meant for more freshiez higher up. its all good in the hood Quote
ski_photomatt Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 Nice pics guys. We were planning on skiing the south side of Black but decided otherwise when the route from Heather Pass looked less interesting than I had remembered it. We decided to see if it was possible to access the basin below the Lyall Gl from Maple Pass. Turned out to be straight forward. Skied some powder on those north facing slopes and back to the highway via Rainy Lake. A nice, scenic tour. I was surprised to see at least one huge, rapidly melting, frozen waterfall above Rainy Lake. Now the Olympics are taunting me through my office window: "come ski me, come ski meeeeee!" they seem to be chanting. Quote
David_Parker Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 Just up from the hairpin a few K ft. Photos from 2 weekends ago, but it was so good I returned and took my 8 year old son up there on Saturday! Quote
ExtremoMtDude Posted April 29, 2003 Author Posted April 29, 2003 Excellent David Parker- good to see you are getting your youngin out there as well Quote
