Hey all .
Tracy and I limbed up on 12-11-2012 her B-day and had a great day , carried skis all the way from the bottom , thinking there would be less snow on the trail.
Wrong Ha, not being down there for 5 weeks left us clueless.. Any way we had a blast and the skiing was great from trail crest down.. Hopefully this storm leaves some deep snow and, when it clears we will be back for some more skiing and climbing on our favorite mountain, with no more breaks in between , meaning we are back on the weekly climbing schedule..If one so desired they could skin up the trail after about a half hour in shoes..Hint lets pack it out..

Still not looking like it's ready for those of us who aren't quite as skilled...

Looking forward to heading up with you soon. Just need to wait for the damaged nerves in multiple fingers to wake up.

Hi Keep forgetting to tell Doug you are heading up , he wants to do Thor or Langely on a good year, several others down here do a lot of back country.

Looks like Thor has as nice new blanket of snow...
Lots of spindrift off of the Crest this morning...

Would love to link up the top of Thor with the Secret Route if we ever get a big dump up there... been on the List longer than I can remember.

Doug
