Beautiful day and great group! Little Si parking was quite crowded and we opted to hike Teneriffe Falls instead which added a couple miles to the overall distance. Trail was completely snow covered but well-broken and microspikes were needed for the whole hike. Teneriffe TH parking was closed but there was ample parking just up the road at the school bus turnaround. The falls themselves were gorgeous in the snow. They were running and had many icicles along the sides.

Heavy snow made for interesting driving, but excellent skiing.

A normally pedestrian venue made quite exciting (25-30 mph winds) on our exposed traverse of West Tiger 3, 2, and 1. A great workout when severe winter storms rule out other venues.

Easy loop hike on multi-use trails. Many options for alternate routes to lengthen or shorten the trip. This park would be good for practice in staying found and/or use of a map.

Successful winter trip up Little Si - a little snow falling at the top, but nothing sticking. Lovely group of people made for a pleasant morning hike.

Successful outing -- conditions were significantly better than expected

A great bad weather alternate (although we ended up doing it the day after the bad weather, with spectacular sunshine). A great winter scramble training trip with route finding challenges on the ridges to Dixie (bad runout avoidance in several places), plus a high end workout (afforded by the interconnected network of trails in the area).

Snowshoe attempt to summit

beautiful day- groomed trails until the very end made this long snowshoe route doable on a short day

Turned around just below the 4600’ elevation level due to avalanche concerns. Experienced two snow wind slab fractures where slope partially opens up below rock bands.

A great day paddling around Burrows and Allan islands in variable winter conditions

This unexpected nice local hike was welcome after a slippery attempt at driving this morning to the Dirty Harry's Balcony trailhead from Olympia!

Found the best fresh light deep powder snow I've seen in years

Great forest views and a beautiful creek with many waterfalls along the trail.
