Resort or Ski Area: Mounts Lafayette, Adams IV, and Jefferson
Conditions: Corn Snow
Trip Report:
We went poking around several places that don't see alot of traffic before the big melt. In particular we were interested in skiing these three lines called "the sisters"
The trip report is written in a tongue and cheek fashion about a "long journey" to get around Mt Adams IV. In reality we skied Lafayette one day, and then on the next day we headed for Castle Ravine on Jefferson with an exit via King Ravine on Adams/Adams IV. The first pictures in the TR are from Lafayette (pages 1-3) and the second half is adams/jefferson (pages 3-5). Both days ended up being fairly long with about 8K of vertical gained each because of the semi-long appproaches (~5 miles for lafayette, and 6 for Adams/Jeff) and the large number of different lines skied each day. If you plan to ski these places, although they are not difficult or particularly threatening, the approaches are significant and require early starts and/or overnights to truly savor. Click the above picture or here to read about it. Enjoy!
