Trip: Ruth...perfect day for a slog! - Standard

 

Date: 6/21/2007

 

Trip Report:

Six of us slogged (2 skied) up Ruth Wednesday and had perfect conditions and weather! Figured I would share some conditions and pics with ya all.

 

Road has washouts but are passable. Trail up to the pass has some major washouts in the steep gullies. Snow bridges are getting sketchy to cross the washouts. The snow bridges will be gone within a week, making it a bit more interesting to cross. They are working on the trail and are about a mile in.

 

One can bypass the last bit of trail to the pass by taking the snow all the way up from Hannagan Camp. I was up Ruth a few years back and the conditions where so different now than in late august. It was cool to do it a different time of year.

 

For those who want to get a few turns in, the snow up high was perfect!

 

here is some NCs porn for ya!

Skibum... I don't ski... :blush: but Dmarch was with us and maybe she can answer your question better. I do know they did not skin up...they hauled.

 

They did ski all the way down to the camp via the standard route.
