As I recall, the owners are hostile to nostalgic skiers earning turns there.

Any more TR's from Whitter in the past? I used to always dream of this ski area as a kid driving by it. Good work man, looks like a nice day of exploration and a solid TR write-up too.

Could feel every portion of your TR DHS = nice!...not your Vail type of day, but a true outdoors day. There's a hill SE of home whose ascent growth is very similar. Sometimes packing the ski clothes and wearing climbing outfit makes the day a lot more comfortable...even though the toweldown and changeover has to be a bit quick. Doesn't an owner have to have sign-age, here & there, around property? Think you originally might've picked the right side of the hill for potential pow-stashes....that guy simply didn't want you in stash-discovery mode.
Terrific TR/pics, although I know what they feel like at the time... Certainly great exercise eh'!

On that note... I had to chuckle while ducking into a glade at Burke yesterday and this song came on my iPod:

Awesome trip report!
Having driven up under those lift cables a zillion times, I was fascinated by that mountain. A couple years ago when coming back from Conway, a friend and I decided to check it out. We weren't prepared for an actual hike, just kind of scoping it out.
We saw the decrepit looking base lodge building, which looked like someone was living in it.
We were creeped out, so we bailed. :smile:

Nice TR DHS, though I wished it was a better bc experience, and glad you made it out fine!
Without going there you have helped me take one thing off my to do list :wink:

Sorry it wasn't the best experience, but it made for one helluva TR. Nice work.

sorry it didn't go better but thanks for the excellent TR. Look at it this way... you learned a lot and chances are good that your next trip will be much better.

Kudos dhs...but that's right I remember this thread of back when...LOL.
File under: What doesn't kill ya'...makes you stonger! I'd call that a total success....of the rough country type...fwiw...some of the armor available to wear makes it a lot softer.....but agreed, what to cover the bootsoles with, in the woods, is still..today, 2014, a work-in-progress.
