Amabilis Mountain - 5.11.2012
I was the only person at the Cabin Creek Sno Park... Exit 63 off of I-90.
|
Starting to melt.
|
The main turnoff for Amabilis... I won't be skiing for awhile.
|
Things look promising at the first turn in the road... about .25 miles along the way... I will put on my skis.
|
I didn't get very far... back to hiking.
|
Nearing the 1 mile mark... still hiking.
|
At the one mile mark... looking down on the ski club course... Keechelus Lake, Silver Peak, Mt. Catherine and Granite Mountain in the distance.
|
My Osprey Code 22 pack makes it easy to carry my skis.
|
There is one short section of melted out road between mile one and mile two.
|
At the two mile 'Y' in the road.
|
Just past the two mile 'Y' in the road now... the avalanche gully doesn't look too bad.
|
Continuous snow from the two mile mark... looking back toward Snoqualmie Pass.
|
From the Amabilis plateau... Keechelus Lake, Tinkham Peak, Silver Peak, Mt. Catherine and Granite Mountain.
|
From the Amabilis plateau... Hibox Mountain on the left to Mt. Daniel on the right.
|
Amabilis Mountain summit (left foreground)... Mt. Daniel up valley... Thorp Mountain on the right.
