tvashtarkatena Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Trip: Sherman - Squak Glacier Date: 6/6/2013 Trip Report: Pretty much had the mountain to myself yesterday - one snowmobiler passed by, and I spied a snowboarder and a telemarker coming descending from about a mile away while on the summit. An Alpine Ascents class was parked in the far distance above the Railroad Grade, visible only as a dotted collection of tents. No crevasses to speak of. Skiing to and off the summit is straightforward. Snow below about 8000' is still mushy, grabby and easily sloughs on steeper, east facing slopes, of which there are few and not necessarily part of the route. I cut them on the way down to check it out. FS 13 is clear of snow except for the last several hundred yards. Zero traffic on the I5 Skagit bypass in Mt. Vernon on the way up - about a 15 minute delay on the way back at around 4:30 pm. Not too bad. Overall, a mellow trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
