Here’s a few photos from Hyalite on Saturday. Things froze hard were locked up good ‘n solid all day long. We found challenging surface conditions but a had fun day out anyway. I expected to see lots of wetslide debris on the sunnier aspects from the warmer days earlier in the week, but saw very little save some pinwheels and a cornice drop or two.
Was out around Cooke City last weekend and had absolutely perfect conditions. Upper 8″ skiing incredibly soft with no layers of concern. Some windloading to true N aspects that caused a couple of naturals, but we rode all other aspects and experienced pretty much “green light” conditions. Looks like it’s going to be a pretty good spring around these parts! Psyched.
Tracks of the master, who of course beat us to it:
But plenty of room for our tracks too:
Gallatin Peak South Face last week (A Whitmore photo):
Spanish Peaks oglin’ from the summit:
Chamonix Couloir earlier this week:
Once things re-freeze up high, should be game on again! Snow levels are looking really good up high!
Hope you all are planning Beartooth trips this spring… I think the snowpack is going to be excellent. Weathered a decent sized storm that garnered about a foot of new snow up high (with a lot more on the loaded N aspects) over the weekend. Post-kitchen excavation:
Not Bozeman, but Red Lodge is getting nailed too! Almost 3′ from this last storm. Good thing the lifts stopped turning 🙂 !
More Beartooth stoke for you Montanans from a three-day trip with nomad and Ned.
Gorgeous, committing lines:
Sizeable mountains (Beartooth Mountain- the pinnacle is the Bear’s Tooth)
Camp in the headwaters of the Lake Fork of Rock Creek (nomad can be seen, yellow-jacketed, beneath the giant cornice Ned’s standing on)
