Best Yo-Yoing Location


JayB

Recommended Posts

I'm into the long day with a single run down sometimes, but I also like finding decent run and doing laps on it all day long. Any suggestions for places to go that feature a reasonable approach and some open, 500-1000 vertical foot runs to cruise up and down (other than the Paradise/Tatoosh area)?

Many thanks.

I wouldn't recommend Yodelin as an early season destination...theres a lot of logging slash and brush on the approach, can be a bit of a bushwack, especially if you start up from behind the big cabin just east of top of the pass. At least thats been my experience when heading up there before theres 5-6' of snow at the pass.

At the end of Highway 542 (Mt Baker Ski Area) there are lots of possibilities

 

North Face of Table often has a skin track

Backside of Herman Saddle is about 600' of open trees

Frontside of Herman Saddle has endless possibilities

Mazama Bowl (once upon a time the Secret Bowl) is good for yo-yoing

 

In bad weather the only place to be is the Swift Creek Trees (headwaters of SwiftCreek). Only 300' to 450' of vert but good skiing and very little avi danger.

[more Hood]...Mirror Lake when the the temps and snow level are way low. Holy dog shit Batman! Kind of like right now. The knuckledraggers dig the Alpine trail which, when skinless, involves thumbing it up Timberline Rd. Saw about 10 of them with their thumbs out Sunday afternoon. I always try and give someone a ride so long as they don't stink too much. I let my dog be the judge.
