robertm Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Helped a friend out around his cabin so he took me up to Ingalls on his snow machine. Got some good runs in on Saturday before the sun turned the snow to mush and the high markers showed up with the bud light keg (god damn we aint never seen snowboarders over here before). It was very warm on the east side above 5000 ft (50 degrees with the inversion). Not was much snow as I was expecting. There was a thin crust with powder underneath but stable conditons on South, East and West Aspects. Ingalls Peaks Rainier above Esmarelda Peaks Above Longs Pass Stuart on 1/28/02 Quote
robertm Posted January 20, 2003 Author Posted January 20, 2003 Just noticed the date is wrong on the Stuart picture.. that was this Saturday 1/18/03! The camera is a Sony dscp5... I reduced the pics to 80k to upload... they look a lot better at 800k. Quote
ChrisT Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 well they look pretty fine from where I sit nice job! Quote
Toast Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Wow, there's a lot more snow out there than I'd thought. Snowboarders, huh? BLING BLING... Quote

JoshK Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 robert, how long did you guys have to go on the road w/ the snowmachine to get to the trailhead? THose of us without snowmachine access are curious how far we have to ski from the car to get there Quote
robertm Posted January 21, 2003 Author Posted January 21, 2003 9 miles from the road closure to the summer trail head. If you bring a half rack of bud light you could probably get a ride in... and possibly out. The road was groomed to Beverly and then packed down all the way to the TH Quote
