Winter trip with Bug.

[Bug]

Hello.

I am planning a trip up into the Alpental valley and if avalanche conditions permit, up to the east ridge of Chair peak Saturday and Sunday. Conditions should be pretty good.

I will be on skiis and will dig a snow cave. This will be a non-technical trip.

Since my buddy has decided to visit his parents rather than sleep in a snow bank, I find myself going alone.

So it occurred to me that there might be some people who would be curious about how to do a few of the things that are required to survive in the mountains in the winter and even have fun. If you want to come along, send me a pm or reply here. I am pretty easy-going and flexible.

Cheers,

Bug

Avalanche danger is going to be high at Snoqualmie pass Saturday. I will still go out somewhere near there since I have to pick up my girls for dinner on Christmas eve (Sun). But the chances of getting all the way up to the east ridge are slim.

There are other ridges and valleys to access.
