Mount Hood, OR, Backcountry Report: Snow Returns to the PNW Report from Tuesday, November 6, 2024 It’s no secret that the Pacific Northwest has enjoyed a very stormy week to start the month of November. Happily, the stormy week allowed Timberline to open limited terrain for the weekend storm. Wednesday was the first sunny day the mountain had seen in quite a while. From the Timberline Lodge to the top […] Conditions Report Nicky Blumm | November 6, 2024 0 Comments
Mount Adams, WA, Backcountry Report: Off the Summit of Adams Report from June 28, 2024 Mount Adams is the second-tallest volcano in the Pacific Northwest. Sitting at 12,281 feet and with an 8,000-foot prominence, only Mount Rainier (at a mighty 14,411 feet) can make Adams feel small. After three attempts to summit in the past three years, Jardon Weems and I were stoked to drop off the top and earn […] Conditions Report Nicky Blumm | July 1, 2024 0 Comments
Mount St. Helens, WA, Backcountry Report: Volcano Season has Arrived Report from Wednesday, April 17, 2024 Mount St. Helens, Washington, may not be as big as it used to be, but it’s still a formidable PNW staple. I was excited to return to St. Helens after a wonderful, placid trip in 2023 and this Wednesday did not disappoint. The route from Portland to the Marble Mountain Sno Park was bare and […] Conditions Report Nicky Blumm | April 18, 2024 0 Comments
Mt. Hood, OR, Backcountry Report: It’s Hard to Hate Spring Report from Monday, April 8, 2024 Even though it’s hard to hate spring, I really do resent it. The extra hours of sun eat away at the snowpack and erase all the dust from the trees. Sure, it’s the natural seasonal cycle, but it feels like spring comes early every year. My first spring tour was up Mt. Hood’s east slopes. I […] Conditions Report Nicky Blumm | April 9, 2024 0 Comments
Mt. Hood Ski Bowl, OR, Backcountry Report: Ice Above and Powdery Trees Report from January 15, 2024 After the incredible storm system of the past week, I couldn’t help but double dip with a second weekend trip to the Ski Bowl area. The road from Portland to Sandy was mostly clear with snow in the middle and frozen slush on the shoulders. Heading up the pass, road conditions deteriorated to packed snow […] Conditions Report Nicky Blumm | January 17, 2024 0 Comments

Las Lenas, Argentina Backcountry Report: Cliff Hucking in Valle Hermoso While on the hunt for big pow, babes, and asados, we found ourselves in Valle Hermoso, at a back country refugio in the middle of the Andes, camping for a few days with a really good crew. Valle Hermoso is the neighboring valley close to the Chilean border and it holds a lot more snow, even though it is at the same elevation as the Las Leñas valley. The river supplied us with fresh drinking water and an old abandoned hut provided us with shelter. We arrived at Sunset on […] Conditions Report Eike Poeppelmeier | August 20, 2014 1 Comment
Big Mountain Powder Report: Las Lenas, Argentina After getting about a foot of fresh snow on Wednesday, August 6th, 2014, the Marte chair opened again on Thursday. Super excited for another Marte powder day! Unluckily, the wind really worked the snow pack the night before and the south face of Marte wasn’t nearly as good as it was on Monday, August 4th, 2014. It was wind packed and wind “carton” and some pow patches. Eduardo and Cerro Martin were still in really good shape with great pow. It warmed up a lot […] Conditions Report Eike Poeppelmeier | August 12, 2014 4 Comments
