Blake Posted January 26, 2006 Share 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!

Blake Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
