salbrecher Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Just wondering if it would be worth it to bring skiis to the top of Baker via Coleman Demming? Anybody done any skiing up their lately? Is it still "skiiable"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfort Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Skied up to Heliotrope ridge (7200ft) last saturday. Don't know what it's like higher up, but the snow where we were was great. It was about 1 hour hike to snow. Looked like some big crevasses opening up on the Coleman, but probably still skiable with some weaving around... Looked like the "bergscrhund" below the col went all the way across, but hard to tell for sure from far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimL Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 I don't ski but the conditions on the CD route last weekend were pretty straight forward. Might have to weave a couple times and take your sticks of to cross huge avy debris from the ice cliff before the CD saddle. It should go just fine. Have fun.

chilly Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 I climbed the Easton Route 7/24-25 and at the short traverse at the crater we followed ski tracks to the summit. It appears that the person skied off the summit and crossed the Easton and Swauk and then skied down the very smooth slopes of the Boulder glacier.

Ned_Flanders Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Skied off the summit about 2 weeks ago. It was great. We got to the top pretty late, around 3pm and found skiable slush down the roman wall and deming glacier. The parties we were passing on our way up reported icy conditions on the roman wall. We didnt have to take off our skiis once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
