Freeman Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Climb: Cannon Mountain-Cannon Mountain Couloir Date of Climb: 5/23/2004 Trip Report: The CFCC skied Cannon Mtn Couloir this weekend - it should last for at least one or two more weeks. We left Wenatchee about 8:00, parked at the Stuart trailhead, and walked out the old road to the big washout. Climb up the burned hillside, then traverse to the base of the couloir. The snow was good for step kicking - we didn't need either our skins or ice axes. Being old and slow we were on top by 2:00 and back at the car by 5. The rain and cooler temperatures had smoothed the surface and an inch of new wet snow made the skiing delightful. A photo from the previous week - there is less snow in the burn now but plenty in the couloir Gear Notes: Normal ski stuff - two hiked in tele boots - one carried AT boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen_Ramsey Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Nice trip report. Did you do the hike over to the summit of Cannon Mountain? (right hand side of your picture). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeman Posted May 24, 2004 Author Share Posted May 24, 2004 No, just skied this time. The traverse to Coney Lake is a pretty nice way into the Rat Lakes later in the year. Each fall we do a cross Enchantment day hike - this is one option that drops directly into Temple Canyon on the way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
