TeleRoss Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 ....was an epic failure. Except that I did get to ski 40 some miles and take a few cool photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurthicks Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 the first thing I can think of with a ski like that is stuff in the Chiwawa area (Buck Mtn. comes to mind) and stuff far up past Colonial... interesting either way. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layton Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hell yeah guys! Even if you didn't do your objective(s) it wasn't a failure, look at where you were!!!!!!! Â And an amazing photo Booker. That couloir we've all been eyein' don't look so steep from that photo.....but I bet it's rad nonetheless! Â Thanks for the pics and stoke!

Blake Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 You can ski up the Fremont Glacier to near the top of Logan from your camp spot at PcP. I know it wouldn't be a first, but it's still pretty rad. Plus Fred describes it as "Lovely Parklands." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeleRoss Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Yeah, Blake that's exactly what we did. We skied to pretty much the high spot of the Fremont Glacier, which is remarkably flat once you're over the moraine. Sky has a rad pic of me on the "summit pyramid" of the Fremont Glacier. Â Rolf..no it's not Tricouni...it's actually just a little sub-summit of Buckner...kinda like the ENE face. But the face is pretty big and gnarly lookin for sure. Â Mike...Yeah that couloir on Booker looks sweet! Someone needs to go get that for sure! have fun! Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) Yeah, Blake that's exactly what we did. We skied to pretty much the high spot of the Fremont Glacier, which is remarkably flat once you're over the moraine. Sky has a rad pic of me on the "summit pyramid" of the Fremont Glacier.   Ross, that flat spot atop the Fremont actually is a deep bowl (wind-scoop type thing) that fills up with water in the summers. I haven't seen a feature like it anywhere else.
