hendorama Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Hey anyone know if it is possible to ski up to the tooth and do a little climbing up there? Someone mentioned it to me the other day, but I wasn't sold on the conditions being great so I thought I'd ask around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Skiing: yes but take your rock skis and check avy conditions on the approach/route. Climing: depends on route... which one you hoping for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracked Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I don't think there's enough snow to make it worth bringing skis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 ski up sure, but agree with cracked, not many turns on way down and you'll likely break something navigating the boulders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 from what we saw on Sunday on the way to Chair, I wouldn't take skis at all until we give considerably more snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrogdortheBurninator Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 The skiing up to the tooth looked very bare on sunday, with hard bunch crust and dirt in places up the source drainage. The tooth basin had some wind blown deposits of nice dry snow, but the majority was ice, punch crust, or large boulders. I would probably wait.

Duchess Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I was up at source lake yesterday... snow conditions still seemed quite thin for skiing above the lake (although visibility was limited). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
