telemarker Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Trip: Mt. Cashmere Ski-around - Date: 1/9/2010 Trip Report: How about a little breather from the banner ice season to honor a little ski touring, eh? Mt. Cashmere style. Not a bad day out there. Long day but well worth it. I reached across the isle this time, and toured with a split-boarder. I'm an equal opportunity ski tourer. In short, we started up 8 Mile Rd., 8 Mile Trail, South Slopes of Cashmere, and descended Dr. Creek to Icicle Rd., then kick 'n glide back to the car. I tried to get quality shots of frozen Colchuck Lk., but was too distracted... But enough talking...Let's just look at der fotos, shall we? 5 Mile's own Alecapone. Tough as nails. The first split-boarder from Detroit. Below Cashmere's true summit. I love Grindstone Mtn! Long Rd. Out Edited January 12, 2010 by telemarker Quote
montypiton Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 dammit, John, you just don't seem to get that skis are just to get you to and from the ICE!!! (seriously, way to get after it!!! wish I could keep up with you...) Quote
JoshK Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Cool! I've always wanted to ski up or around Cashmere. How is the snow pack over there? The west slopes are basically white concrete at the moment. I need to find some place to go Thursday and I'd like to avoid said concrete if possible. Quote
telemarker Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 Josh, I think with the new snow due tonight and tomorrow, the conditions should be decent. But down low it was still pretty bony. Quote

Ed_Hobbick Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Nice picies We'll have to get out one of these days. Ed Quote
alecapone Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Well, I was the one to say it's time to see what I'm made of...which wasn't that much considering who broke trail 90% of the way. Still an awesome tour on a split, even with the few annoyances on the way down. Thanks for the great lead, and photos! Now I am going to have to properly rep the 313 and the D and get on 8 mile.
