Green Lake Traverse part 1

Mike and I flew up to Green lake on Tuesday with bluebird weather and nice warm temps. The goal was to start at the west end of the lake, travers west to east over the mountain on the northern edge of the lake and ski back down to the plane waiting for us on the eastern edge of the lake. Round trip it took us a bout six hours and it was a great trip. Mike uses that area for skiing or goofing off if the weather is too crummy to head across to the west side of Cook Inlet. Hope you enjoy the photos, there will be more to come. Check out the SPOT page for the location of the lake. I turned the SPOT on at the top of the mountain.
Cheers,

More Eva Pics

Here are a few more pics from Mt. Eva yesterday. These show the chutes a bit more and the amount of snow Seward has. What a great day! The picture of me descending the chute has a dog at the top watching me head down. Her owners were already at the bottom where I was heading but she doesn't like to go down the steep parts so she follows the uptrack on the ridge leading to the chutes back down and meets them.
Clear,cold and windy in Seward today. We hit it just right.

Seward Storm Cycle

Seward and the surrounding mountains have been getting hammered with snow over the last week often accumulating a foot or so overnight. Zack and I checked the weather yesterday and noticed a little break in the action so we planned on a trip up today. We met at the end of Tiehacker road and made our way up through the blower powder to the chutes on the left of the Mt. Eva bowl. Zack has been eyeing these chutes all winter, waiting for the right snow conditions and luckily we hit it perfect today. Perfect weather and prime snow made for another great day in the mountains. The chutes we rode all drop into the Eva bowl and we ascend the western ridge to regain the drop in points. We rode two chutes today and had a great tree run on the way down. More pics tomorrow,
Cheers,
