We became very proficient in taking our skis off and on. Very thin coverage and frequent brown spots. The snow became very soft and slushy in the afternoon. We did ski and had a great time.
In light of conditions -- went to Summit East
A warm, rainy scramble with intermittent snow and a very brushy north ridge ascent. Efficient travel, straightforward route-finding, and a sheltered summit made for a solid outing despite wet conditions and limited views.
Nice outing despite low snow year and rain at start
A great tour of the Gig Harbor Peninsula on a fine winter day.
A good day to hike to The Million Dollar View
Scenes from today’s amazing paddle around Goat and Craft Islands, in the western part of the Skagit Wildlife Unit area…
Route was almost bone-dry....
High winds turned us back about .5 miles east of Grand Prospect. Lots of blow downs added to the decision not to chance fate. Winds picked up as we descended - wise decision.
Part road walk, park hike through a winter wonderland along the Foss River to Trout Lake. I can't believe we had it all to ourselves!
A fine sunny day with a cold morning and stronger than forecast east winds to provide more of a challenge for this beautiful paddle.
Short, sweet trail with a reputation of being an amazing rhododendron trail in spring.
A rare high tide opportunity to cross over Leque Island, featuring a spectacular sunrise over the North Cascades and just enough ice on our boats to be delightful.
Good weather and acceptable snow conditions in spite of the snow drought.
We completed a two loop route in Green Lake , Cowen , and Ravenna Parks .
Frosty morning on the Pratt River Connector! The SE Middle Fork Rd IS open, despite what Google and Apple Maps say.
Frozen and sunny conditions made for great "tough love" learning.
Can be posted as a scramble or a snowshoe. Limited avalanche danger which makes for a wonderful winter route. Beautiful views from the large summit.
Post-hole fest before getting stunning views of Rainier, Hood, Adams, St Helens, and the Olympics.
