grinter Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Trip: Colchuck Lake - Date: 2/20/2010 Trip Report: Skinned and booted up to Colchuck Lake this weekend. The four miles on the road were more grueling than expected but nice and soft on Saturday afternoon. Cruddy, icy snow in the trees after the road, made for slowgoing, with other parties forgoing their skis on descent. We made camp at the base of the meadow before the final slope to the lake. Skinned up to the Colchuck Lake on Sunday morning and took a few turns at the very bottom of Aasgard Pass in some nice powdery frost on top of light crust. The rest of Aasgard looked chunky and icy. Other parties were cruising some nice lines on Colchuck Glacier. Attempted to ski down the trail but switched to boots fairly quickly. Ski out on the road was a little bit icy but much faster than going up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
