So ski season normally ends in before June...not this year. With over 28,000 ft of vertical in 4 runs, on 4 mountains (volcanoes) in the last 3 weeks...it seems like the ski season is in full swing. This year it started with Mt Rainier in the state of Washington. Mt Rainier is a massive 14,400 ft volcanoe in the Cascade range of the western United States. It's one of the biggest and most significant mountaineering objectives around. I was always under the false impression that it was unskiable...an then I decided to look into it. Turns out the Emmons Glacier runs up the north side of the mountain right to the summit. So after a couple months of debate the decision is made to go for it! Jack was up for the task, and it turned out we couldn't find anyone else who could make it down there the weekend of the June 15-16th so we went decided to go the '2 man rope team' approach.
