SkiSickness

Skied SE Face Glacier Peak,SW Face Disappointment Peak,White Mountain North Face

Having wanting to ski the remote Glacier Peak in the Cascades for a while now,the weather looked promising,so my brother and I checked for a good forecast and hit the road for three days.Are other inspiration was to keep the turns all year spirit alive,with a great late snow season we were confident there would be snow left to ski,even if it was almost August.

18 miles to the summit and about 8200ft gained one way.After skiing from the summit of Glacier peak we decided to hit the obvious run on Disappointment peak on our way back to camp.
On day three we woke up to another beautiful day and decided to ski White mountain, before our long hike back to our car.Did I mention there is lot of hiking,but well worth it just for the amazing views.This was the last but not least volcano I had skied and climbed in Washington.

Congrats on finally getting in there, Mike. Looked like some pretty good skiing. Was flat light giving you trouble at ~5 min? Also, it's tough to hear the audio at the end when you're talking.

Yes thanks....Awesome to finally make the long walk to get out there,always well worth it....

We had a bit of a whiteout skiing from the summit....Good call ,yes the audio did not seem get picked up on Andy's helmet cam....

Great area....
