12-30-17 McGinnis
Wanted to check out the snowpack above 3k before the next storm cycle. It's pretty manky and basically 1' of facets on the south aspect of McGinnis. If and when it gets weight on it, I'd expect it to be weak for a while until it bridges. We'll see.....

10-25-2017 Eaglecrest
Hiked in boots to about 1600ft, then started skinning. About 20+ inches above 2500ft. A tropical storm is coming, which will destroy all this pretty quickly. Oh well.

9-7-17 Cairn Observation Loop
Ultra classic Juneau ridge loop up Blackerby, over to Cairn Peak, over Observation Peak and back via Juneau Ridge. Maybe 16-17 miles and 6-7k vert? I don't know. Fun. Shit cell phone pics. Out of order.

6-4-2017 Tracy Arm Fjord
Early summer trip up the fjord to scope potential ski lines. 4,000-6,000ft descents to the ocean if we get a cold winter.

4-11-17 Jumbo Couloir
Skied the Jumbo Couloir and another billygoat line on the east aspect of Jumbo, as well as the peak to the south.
4-4-17 Mt Olds area
Went up to ski Mt Olds, but it had been windloading in the Taku Winds. After we skinned out from near the main face, it ripped wall to wall naturally. Good thing we kinda thought it might go and stayed a ways back from it. Skied a nice gully from about 4200ft that was safe.
