Beautiful day with blue bird skies. Snow was in perfect condition. Groomed all the way to the summit. 10 miles back and forth, chose not to do the ungroomed section since it was pretty rough looking. Everyone did super!
No it's not a mirage, moderate water ice is a real thing in Washington. We found it.
A practically perfect winter paddling day complete with much missed sea stars!!!
Sunny day for a scramble conditioning hike.
A great group to travel with. The route on the ridge has no beaten path- we enjoyed making our trail, and venturing through varied forest, with frequent,broad views of the surrounding snow covered ridges.

We summitted Windy Knob and Tronsen Head (east of Diamond Head) in crystal clear weather and fine snow conditions.
Despite rainy/sleet/snow falling, a group of 5 new Alpine Scramble students, met at exit 20, with 2 leaders, to set off up Tiger Mountain #3 in brand new boots and bright outfits for an evening conditioner.
An exceptionally beautiful trip into alpine terrain above Paradise.
Fantastic Intermediate Climb
This was a nice loop trip over West Tiger 2 and 1 on a beautiful day.
A beautiful day with wonderful snow conditions in pleasant company! What more could a Mountaineer desire? Even though we were a small party of 4, we were able to complete a route variation that added mileage in moderately heavy snow conditions. Well-done all around!
A great 5000’ workout with good views of Mount Jupiter, Hood Canal, and sparkling Seattle skyscrapers in the distance (Mount Constance obscured by untimely clouds).
Beautiful sunny day and reasonably good snow conditions made for a great day in the mountains.
