Trip Report: Snow Wheeling in the North Cascades

Post by Nobody »

An epic start to the 2011-2012 snow wheeling season. A beautiful sunny day in the North Cascade Mountains. The snow was borderline surgar snow at times. Progress to the summit was difficult and slow, sometimes only a foot at time, but the payoff was totally worth it!

Here's some unedited video of EBSteve and I playing around. I'll get some more video up later.


You can find all my pictures from the day here:

They're all good. It's hard to screw up a picture on a day like that. I know you have some video too!

Have a look at this thread regarding resizing images:

I forgot to resize the pictures. I guess with fighting the anoying drop down issue my computer has as well as the getting my PC to sync with my HTC was enough to drive me crazy (not that it's all that far). To top it off my video won't upload to youtube, it just sits at showing it's uploading but at 0%.
