Thrashador Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Climb: høød-southwest side ski tour Date of Climb: 3/28/2004 Trip Report: The skies were clear, the snow soft and the wind nowhere to be found. We were stoked. [insert bromide here] C'mon hurry up you guys! Some of us managed to get work done. We saw a ski track heading over the saddle which must have been Doug's. Way to go d00d! fshrgrl gets her tele on! Several lower leg lacerations and one round of stitches later Jane has learned to keep her distance when it comes to running around with smelly people with sharp edges on their feet. The skiing all the way to the trees was better than we imagined. Damn near perfect this side of a bunch of new. A steady wind picked up around where this picture was shot and preserved the snow until the trees. Despite our navigational tools and alleged skills we still managed to spend a little longer than we would have liked finding the trail out. We stayed on the ridge west of Zig Zag Canyon but descended a finger too soon, at about 4,800 ft., and had to contour and climb a bit to locate the trail. Humble pie can be such a beyotch! What a day to be in the hills with those close and dear!
