July 24, 2010 – On the day the bridge opened for the Skyline TH just out of Glacier, WA thought it could be a nice ridge walk w/ a possible ski. To make this trip more of a workout, train for hanging w/ the Traslin Bros, and most of all get a friend to come w/ I acted as a Sherpa packing boots & skis x 2 pair for a six mile in to finally get a small patch to play on off of Peak 6563′. The skiing was much better at the 6,000 + level w/ the sun cups small enough to open it up for some good Summer Cascade Carving.
This ridge walk is now one of my all time favorites w/ skis or w/out. Just remember if you do it w/out snow bring lots of water for it is a DRY hike. Check out some pics on our facebook page and friend us while you are there too!
Live to Ski Another Day!

Way to get after it in the summer months, but that’s a looong approach. If you carry my gear, I’ll come with you next time!
