korup Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Thinking of planning a trip to Juneau to do some ski touring- any sources of info ?? Quote
yesman Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Hey, I'll be in Juneau 7/10-14 and am looking for a partner to climb the Main Tower of the Mendenhall Towers - interested? I'm from Juneau and have some ideas on tours, but your best bet is to call The Foggy Mountain Shop in town and they'll set you up. Mike fieldsmr at gmail.com Quote
wfinley Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 There is a guy who posts in the AK thread on Teletips who has a bit of info. Here's the thread: http://www.telemarktalk.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=35846 Quote
plumbbob Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 When are you going to be in Juneau? And, what type of trip are you loking for, day trips or multi day traverse of ice field? There is a lot of snow and the sking is great right now and should be realy good into July,depending on how far you are willing to hike. If you use a heli you can probably ski all summer. Quote
korup Posted May 30, 2008 Author Posted May 30, 2008 The plan right now is to be there from July 10-14, set up camp in the Ptarmigan / Lemon Creek area, and then run long day trips out onto the Icefield. A multiday traverse would be great fun, but I think the logistics from Skagway and vacation constraints might make it tough. Any suggestions for other tours? Quote
Winter Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Joe Stock ran a piece in Backcountry magazine several years ago on a ski tour in the Mendehall Towers area. Maybe try to check that out for some ideas/inspiration. Quote
