Trip: Heather Meadows - random shots

 

Date: 4/26-27/2009

 

Trip Report:

Got out for a few hours both yesterday and the day before, should be up there today too...

 

was planning a trip to the alpine, but local shots seemed more attractive, choice of aspect, lazy start times, low/no crowds, corn/mashpotatoes, cooking salmon burgers in the parking lot with cold beers in the sun, this is the lazy spring skiing that i appriciate from time to time over hard charging all day routes.

 

skiied stoneman, table, and herman. stoneman had one or two runnels but all in all was good corn to mash potatoes. Table was good in the sun, but the minute the sun left, or lost it's direct power - snow crusted to various degrees. I caught the southsouthseast shoulder of herman in sublime corn for the most part.

 

my camera lcd screen totally busted the other day, so these are all none scope guesstimation shots -

whats the best way to get up Stoneman? other than a heli! I mean where does the climbing route start?

[danhelmstadter]

supa easy, just start from tha lot and traverse the funky runnels to the bottom -- way shorter -- way smaller than it looks from the area.

folks also skin up herman and drop down the backside, which is a pretty fun line.

Skiing down Herman to approach sounds like the most fun.
