Lowell_Skoog Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Despite a poor snow year in the Northwest, a number of fine ski mountaineering trips were done in the Cascades during the 2004-05 season. I've updated the Chronologies on my history website, http://alpenglow.org/ski-history , for 2005. Most new entries are marked "undocumented," which means that I haven't written or posted abstracts of the trip reports. I'll get around to it eventually. I've also added a "strawman" annotation on routes for which the previous history is in doubt. Some of these reports have been published in the Summer 2005 issue of the Northwest Mountaineering Journal, http://www.nwmj.org . The NWMJ was assembled in the middle of the ski mountaineering season, so several reports won't be published in the journal until next year. Here's a summary of new route activity that I know about, with links to published trip reports, when available.
