Blake Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Climb: Goode Mt. -East Ridge Ski Date of Climb: 1/24/2006 Trip Report: Yesterday, a local friend (Robert_Nielsen) and I skied up and down the SE shoulder of Goode Mountain up to a prominent spot at about 6,400'. Good views in all directions, with an interesting inversion layer to make for some distinct photos. Warm temps the day before had settled down the snowpack. We measured 9-10' at our high point, and 5' down where Bridge Creek flows into the Stehekin River. It took us 5 hours to ski up from the PCT junction, and 2 to get back down. Beautiful day in the hills, photos were taken by partner. Gear Notes: Backcountry ski stuff. Ski Crampons came in handy, not necessary. Approach Notes: Hurray for a decent (so far) snow year! Quote
ken4ord Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 So I take in your opinion ole gran' poobah that these should be entered in this years photo contest? Quote
Stefan Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Is that Buckner and Booker in the background? Nice pics! Quote
John Frieh Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 When you finally do go back to school you are going to have the hardest time readjusting back... in NZ especially Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 snowshoes would have been so much more practical Quote
DirtyHarry Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 snowshoes would have been so much more practical Nice Job, Blake!!! That's killer. Did you guys go in from Hwy 20 Mazama or what? Quote
Blake Posted January 26, 2006 Author Posted January 26, 2006 Stefan, yes the last photo has Booker and Buckner. The other one has Glacier Peak and the Ptarmigan Ptraverse mountains. Dirty Harry, we came up the valley from Stehekin. Quote
