CrazyFlattlander Posted June 3, 2003 Author Posted June 3, 2003 Just in case anybody looks....Hood southside was in good shape. Tons of people going up the hogsback and a few going up the WCR. We did see others taking a few variations to these routes. We were up a little late due to a late start to avoid the high winds on Sunday. No rock or icefall except for at the base of Crater Rock on the SW side. Quote
To_The_Top Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 Sunday was pretty ideal conditions, seemed like way better weather than in WA. We waited out the wind a bit too, and saw a skier take a NASTY tumble down the mountain from pearly gates. Took him a long time to get all his gear, but he was ok. TTT I summited Iains mountain again . Quote
CrazyFlattlander Posted June 4, 2003 Author Posted June 4, 2003 Hey TTT....I saw that guy skiing wipe out too. He had a pretty big gash in his arm. I did not think he found one of his skis. I was just below the bergy and I kind of thought that it went in and was never to be seen again. Did you see him actually leave with two skis? That is good for him, because I would hate to have to take the slow way down after planning the fast route. There was also an old guy (70) that was going to ski down and he kept telling me that he summitted Hood 40 years ago. I wonder how that guy fared? Yes it was a nice sunny day and I have the bright red face to prove it. Quote
airmoss Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 I saw the guy finally find his other ski down below steel cliffs. Quote
CrazyFlattlander Posted June 4, 2003 Author Posted June 4, 2003 Wow, that sucks...At least the only thing hurt is his arm and his ego and not his wallet. Hope he at least got to glissade down to the lost ski. Quote
iain Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 if you saw that guy wipe out in the gates then you probably saw me ski down the old chute. It was way too icy to be skiing that stuff still. that kid is lucky to be alive. I skied over underneath Devil's Kitchen HW to look for his ski in the debris. No luck. Good to hear he found it. He was pretty shaken up about it, and rightly so. Quote
To_The_Top Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 Yes he was lucky, Iain I saw you over there helping him find the ski, which he finally did in the avi debris further up from where you guys where looking. I was 40 yards from gates when we saw him go over and try to ski down, and fall past us. I dont know if that 70 yo guy skied down, and I talked to him on the way up. Yes that guy that fell was really lucky..... TTT Quote
