Short post airport landing tour up the mush on Fish Creek Knob

Haven't skied for ten days.  Warm temps, avy conditions, rollerballs, buried ice crusts with sketchy layers waiting to strike.  Nope, not into it.

Stumbled around in the dark once again looking for a way up new (for me) terrain.  Eventually gained the ridge, but with the last few days of 100mph winds, opted to essentially retrace my steps and stay off the steeper terrain.

Ben Stewart on lookers right, Eaglecrest lookers left.

Peak 5894 above Davies Creek, as viewed from Bridgett State Park

Peak 4897 to the left of the previous peak.  The other side of this is the Davies Creek Couloir.

Chilkats, maybe 20 miles south of Haines.

Same as above.

Central Chilkats.

12-31-2016 Mt Ben Stewart and Fish Creek Knob

Solo tour up Mt Ben Stewart.  Avoided temptation and played it safe despite alluring lines everywhere.  Then a couple laps on Fish Creek Knob.  Endless playground that is worth spending some time in to figure out the quirks.

This blog is my archive, hence the beta shots.  Maybe I'll delete it if I feel it hinders the locals ability to ski unfettered and alone.  Although I doubt it will change much, as there just aren't that many skiers here.

Storm day terrain on Fish Creek Knob in the vicinity of Mt Ben Stewart.  Good introduction to the terrain in the area.  Seems like a great place to ski alone, in a storm, in the sun, or anytime.  Super fun, classic "touring" terrain with steep trees, pillows, open glades, etc.
