Went up on Wednesday and its the most snow I have ever seen!
The lump of snow behind Leo is the Beasore bathroom completely buried.
Melting snow forming runnels on the slopes just like on the rock.
Stumbled upon this new steep 30 foot boulder problem.

I am bringing shoes next time! All that snow makes for a nice bouldering pad.

Grahm I heard you had an epic snomo adventure. Glad you're alright. Nice photos but I already sent that boulder.

Stick jammed in the throttle, threw me off and then went full speed over a jump and straight into a tree. Getting it back out was REAL fun. Glad I have ins.

Insurance!!!!!!!!!!! When I center punched a tree in my mother in law's ORV I had to PAY. Glad you're OK. I'll have to remember the "stick in throttle" excuse next time.
Best,

My buddy was standing about 60 feet away when it crashed into the tree. He said it was going super fast, the engine was screaming and the crashing sound of it going into the tree had him paralyzed not knowing what to do. He said it was one of the craziest things he has ever seen and he thought it was going to blow up.
I have a $500 deductible and beyond that its covered. I am just glad no one was hurt and it didn't hit someone else's ride.
The snow melted off yesterday here in Oakhurst but look what is already in the backyard this morning, and its still snowing!

Glad you are okay Grahm. Sorry, but no sympathy for the noise pollution machine. Please use the insurance money to get some skis, boots, maybe trekking poles, and a book about wilderness basics.

Yup, I agree thats fun too. But, snomoing is in my blood now and its just as fun as climbing for me. To each his own.

For my friends who missed it.
Thanks Louie for the link, I had no idea they even did this.
Kinda cool but no wonder people don't buy the mag... you can just get it online for free!
