cracked Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Climbed it in 5 hrs up, skied down. Many, many Mazamas . Lots of snow has melted in the past week, judging from Cletus' and Timm@y's photos; we had to go to the skiers right to find continuous snow. Oh, and take sneakers, the route is much faster and easier if you don't hike in ski boots. We had an epic drive, though, hitting an elk on the highway in the morning, deploying airbags, smashing the windshield, overheating car, etc. Got to the trailhead, climbed, skied, and the POS actually got us back to Springfield! And the next morning it barely made it to the junkyard without dying! So go ski the mountain , but watch out for elks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Nice to hear you had a good time. I had a similar car-tastrophe on the way to the Grasslands at Smith. I swerved to avoid 6 deer in the middle of the road and did a slow-motion, drivers-side leading roll. Had a redneck with a winch pop me back on all fours and drove to the grasslands, climbed all weekend and drove it back home. Of course it rained. Glad you are all right.

gapertimmy Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 glad you got to ski in, bummer on the car though. I killed a big ass buck 2 summers ago, and folks up here at mtb hit deer all the time, you really gotta watch dusk/dawn on cascade lk's but don't south sister ?
