Trip: Oregon Cascades - Paulina Peak

Date: 5/11/2008

Trip Report:
Due to the weather our plan for an epic trip was changed to head to paulina peak, a peak i'd never skied before. the road was closed but plowed so we had mountain bikes, and headed in to where we dropped bikes, and skinned maybe 10 minutes to the base of the chutes and then cramponed up the chutes, and made two laps in the chutes and one lap in the bowl. due to lack of a deep freeze, the bowl was sloppy conditions and the chutes were very very firm which was surprising that they didn't get softer, but oh well, it was a great day and nice to get out and practice on the steeps for the spring trips! hope the pics work here, as not too familiar with posting them. /Users/chriswilliams/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Modified/2008/Roll 199/IMG_8352.JPG/Users/chriswilliams/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Modified/2008/Roll 199/IMG_8362.JPG/Users/chriswilliams/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2008/Roll 199/IMG_8413.JPG/Users/chriswilliams/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2008/Roll 199/IMG_8378.JPG
