Jim Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 We were up at Silver Peak basin when it was way hot the weekend before Memorial Day and decided the west slope to Annette Lake was a bit to avy prone that day, so we traced our tracks back to the Silver Fir chair. So we went back on June 1, dropped a car at the Annette Lake trailhead and started from the pass again. A bit foggy but dry and we only ran into a pair of skiers on the ridge who had come up the west side. Cool, about 41 deg on the ridge. After a quick lunch we skied down to the lake. It was a great run. Found a snow bridge on the creek and crossed to the west side of the valley to ski down to the John Wayne Trail. Some recent big avy action on that side of the valley. Still a good ski all the way down. With some minor alder surfing right before the JWT. A 3/4 mile hike out and a decent 5 hr outing and home for dinner.

Bug Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hmm. That might be good for this weekend with all the new snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
