AlpineK Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Christian and I skied up Cannon Mountain Couloir today. The skiing was great. Crossing the river was tricky. All and all a great day despite the dreaded inversion. Quote
Greg_W Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Way to go, dude. Is the road gated down at the campground now? What were the temps like in the Icicle? Any ice? Quote
AlpineK Posted January 20, 2003 Author Posted January 20, 2003 They don't have a gate up right now. The temps were cold, but I didn't see much ice. Hubba buba didn't look fully formed. Word on the street is that drury falls is kind of sketch right now. Quote
mattp Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Good one, Mr. K. How much snowpack was there at Icicle Creek, the place where you leave the logging road to head up to the basin below the couloir, and at the top? Quote
AlpineK Posted January 20, 2003 Author Posted January 20, 2003 You can drive to Bridge Creek. The snowpack down low is alright. Kind of funky crossing the river, but there is enough so the skiing is really good to 500' above the creek then its ok down to the creek. Quote
mattp Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Approximately how much snowpack was there at Icicle Creek, the place where you leave the logging road to head up to the basin below the couloir, and at the top? Quote
AlpineK Posted January 20, 2003 Author Posted January 20, 2003 I didn't take a measuring stick Matt. There is enough snow that snowmobilers and skiers were having fun on th Colechuck lake road. There was enough snow so that the skiing was fun to 500' above the creek. Below that you had to pick your route carefully, but you could ski to the creek. I'm sorry I don't take measuring devices and a note book with me while skiing. Quote
snoboy Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 I'm sorry I don't take measuring devices and a note book with me while skiing. Well maybe you should, so you can provide us with some useful information, instead of , I went skiing it was fun there was snowmobiles having fun too. Quote
AlpineK Posted January 20, 2003 Author Posted January 20, 2003 (edited) All the information you need to ski Cannon Mtn, between now and the next big storm cycle, is right in front of your face. (except a map) Edited January 20, 2003 by AlpineK Quote
