Three Sisters Wilderness // Skiing the North and Middle Sister

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 มิ.ย. 2021
  • Thanks to all the people we met on the trail for stopping and saying hello. You help keep the stoke alive. In this episode we set out to summit the North Sister in the Three Sisters Wilderness. A day or two earlier a small storm with strong winds had plastered the rock faces on the west slope with thick rime ice. As we rounded the corner onto the west face the mountain seemed to fall apart as chunks of ice constantly broke off and tumbled by. So the Amateurs regrouped and discussed their situation. Should we summit or should we go over and ski the very appealing Middle Sister? Also, didn't even notice matts joker sunscreen look until I got home and looked at the footage.

    Good on you guys for turning back from the initial objective! I think the true metric of success in the mountains should always be good decisions made and not peaks summited. Knowing when to step back is a true mark of a good mountaineer.
    We need more of these turn-backs captured on outdoor adventure content. For so long the skiing video scene was saturated with people sending the gnar, racing avalanches, and jumping off cliffs. While those are very fun to look at, it's refreshing to see the full spectrum of mountain adventures be shown like it is here. The good, the sketchy, and the awesome.

    • @pinetarsavage
      @pinetarsavage 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not sure if you're a Rocky Mountainer because I recently heard that's an issue out there, but summer skiing is pretty standard out in the West. (The West Coast I guess I should say). All about that corn snow. I'm guessing it's because our snowpack is just much more dense. Sierra Cement and Cascade Concrete pay off once late Spring and Summer roll around!

    The volcanoes you can see to the north of the Sisters are Jefferson, Hood, and then Adams. St Helens and Rainier aren't far beyond that but they're obscured by some of the other hills. Lassen would be to the south, beyond McLoughlin and Shasta.
