We had a great trip. We skied 9 miles and enjoyed good weather. There were a few spots where we needed to remove our skis and walk but for the most part, the skiing was good.

Better than forecasted weather. Lower trail some mud puddles, no trees over trail.
With Rainer closed the parking lot filled up later in the day but most people on our way out.

A pretty tough 16-hour day with non-stop strong winds virtually all the way through, spindrift in the eyes, and an occasional apple- to grapefruit-sized cannonball to dodge. Practiced placing sketchy pro in rime ice and not-so-well consolidated snow. Miraculously managed not to get blown off the ridge, and finished up DKH V2 with a version of the Wy'East crux traverse that ended up being a tad more sketchy than it needed to be.

Perfect weather, gorgeous views, and a reasonably strong but small group made for a great day despite turning around at 5900 feet due to slow progress breaking trail through knee-deep snow.

Fun exploration on a sunny day. Road conditions were a challenge past Darrington and the mileage of this route is clearly a lot more than indicated so we didn't reach Rat Trap Pass and the meadow area.
