gapertimmy Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 Climb: Bach-ey-lor-devilstrokemycone Date of Climb: 5/19/2005 Trip Report: Yesterday my eightequalsd was quite stout when i arrived at work to 6" of fresh. Unfortunately, a POWER meeting with some folks from Austria kept me tied up most of the morning (Life of a ski area geek superstar). And unfrotunately by the time I left, things had been warming up, and all dem fine freshiez had turned to slushiez. Regardless, me and my trusty friend Sierra booted up to go get us some of that fine central oregon lovin. After arriving to work, and checking the email, we set out up the pine chair line. Skinning was indeed slow and wet at first, but above 6750'ish things started to look good, daaaaaaammmmmn good. Sierra, being the powdurrr hound she is was beckoning to cruise up by northwest. A short while later we were standing on top of a tasty looking bowl, covered with freshie love, all for us. The turns were good, damn good. We dropped down devil's backbone, and had a rather enjoyable 1000'+ of tasty turns. Once things got heavy, we skinned er back up to the sickest of all slopes on bachy, DA CONE. It has become somewhat of a tradition for me to sit on the cone after a season has ended, and look down at the little ski area. I get good vibes knowing the season was a good one, and am happy and sad at the same time. Okay enough random thoughts. Sierra and I then attacked the cone with mad gaper steez. The turns were super sloppy heavy... but they were turns, and therefore we were stoked. Didn't bring the camera but here are a few shotz from the cell: closed but still servin the goods the bro'z treated me well, the innagural run on the boards sierra assed out on the office floor after the tour n turns. great freakin day. Approach Notes: There is considerable wind loaded slopes above 7k in the three sisters area. With warming temps this weekend, and 6"+ of slushy loaded snow, please be carefull when traveling in the volcanos. Quote
