3-17-17 Dan Moller

Went up for some more good skiing above the cabin.

3-16-17 Gastineau Peak and Troy

Morning lap up Gastineau Peak with a mixed bag of rime, wind affected pow, and trail skiing.  Then a lap up to the Dan Moller cabin with a mini lap of skiing up above it.  3.5-4ft of new now skiing well, for now, with seemingly good stability.

3-13-17 Dan Moller area

About two feet of new snow without wind.  Some natural slides on steep rollovers, but no collapsing in the snowpack like last week.  Maybe this storm cycle will remain mostly stable?

Great tree skiing, one of my favorite spots on a storm day.

1-19-17 Kowee Creek

Shoulda stayed home.  After all the rain and heavy snow, the skiing is terrible right now.  Should improve after the next freeze coming up.  Checked out a big bruiser of a wet slab avy up Kowee Creek.  Broke on a roll-over, probably during the heavy rain event at around 1500ft.  Ran about 500+ft with debris over 8ft deep.  Unsurvivable, no doubt.

Crown size about 4ft.  I'm guessing the heavy rains set up a glide crack/wet slab feature.

Beta shot of ridgeline from Gastineau to Roberts.

Mt Juneau on left with Mt Olds in the back of the canyon.  Both great objectives in spring.

Avy scouring a gully.

Pleasant terrain above the Dan Moller hut.

Mt Olds behind Juneau.

1-15-17 Kowee Creek

Skinned up in pea soup and thrashed down through mashed potato snow.  Too wet and creepy to do much else.

12-24-16 Dan Moller Cabin

Short tour up near the Dan Moller Cabin to scope storm weather skiing terrain again.  Plenty of meadow skipping opportunities.

Mt Troy from above Dan Moller cabin.  This line looks kind of lame in the pic, but it's actually pretty cool.  Plenty of lines through the alders, which will probably fill in soon anyway.  It has about 1500 vertical of good skiing here on the east face.  The north face on the other side has some big bowls.

Mini golf lines above the cabin.  These are about 700-800ft shots.  The more open shots have sled traffic.

Looking down canyon from just above the cabin.  The approach is up that canyon on a sled track.

Dan Moller cabin.

Mt Roberts (3810ft) on the left with 3500ft of skiing to the valley.  And Sheep Mtn (4,238ft) on the right with a bit more vertical to the valley.  Huge, skiable faces with pretty easy approaches.
