sdizzle25 Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 How is the snowpack looking on the upper palmer? Is it skiiable with only a small chance of not getting a core shot? Quote
John Frieh Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Soloed DKH Sunday. Okay coverage but mega icy so plan on sitting out awhile to allow things to soften. Saw at least one set of tracks from Saturday so it is getting skied. Quote
PTPerson Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 skinned from parking lot to top of palmer lift. Apart from the wind claiming the bag for my skins it was all good. You have to be careful with where you skin and the surface is fairly dirty but it is possible. It gets a little to icey about half way up the palmer lift and you can make it with careful pole placement but you would really have better luck with crampons. Skiing down is really firm and everyone I saw was coming down the cat track along the palmer lift. The cat track and really fairly fun to ski for about the middle 2/3 before it gets really thin and you have to be careful due to the rocks. Overall, I'd stick to the cat track one the way down, but you can get away skinning up outside the rope line. Quote
