JayB Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 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. Quote
j_b Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 the crystal backcountry has lots of opportunity for yoyoing (and typically good snow). all relevant info is in bugdorfer's Quote
Toast Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 (edited) Yodlin's got a couple decent clearcut runs, Arrowhead Mountain too. Let's go, like tomorrow or Wednesday Edited November 25, 2003 by Toast Quote
Dave_Schuldt Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 You got a spit board yet toast? Ridge on MT Snoqualmie, aproach via Cave Ridge. See Volcan guide to Snoqualmie Pass. Quote

Toast Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Who's driving up tomorrow?? I got the day off Quote
pete_a Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 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. Quote
dberdinka Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 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. Quote
Thrashador Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 (edited) [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. Edited November 25, 2003 by Thrashador Quote
