Comments on: Can You Stand Any More Snow? We can. But lunch at the Cook Shack was good too.

Lou, you almost made beer come out of my nose with that bumper sticker. I’ve switched to climbing mode already for the season, but seeing the tasty photos you keep on posting, it’s making me think about slapping the skins on the Shuksans and heading over to Dawsonville.

Keep having fun out there.

Lou,

LOL. Yeah, it was the carbon offset sticker that stood out.

Nice write up Lou! As always, thanks for sharing the great times you all are having.
Toured up Mt. Blarney this AM, skiied the couloir skiers right of the summit (excellent corn), hiked back out and up Blue Peak to ski the NW couloir, but really difficult to get into, snow is almost gone at the top entrance and didn’t feel like trashing my ski bases, nor downclimbing the scree/talus, so opted to ski the SE face of Blue back down(again, really good corn) and head back to my car at the top. Really good tour overall. BTW, I noticed that the Lincoln Creek gate was open at around 12 pm on my way back down.

Can you say Never Summer! This is just great that people can enjoy skiing well into June.

lou,

re: overall post today, nice variety
re: unlimited lines, given the wide variations in snowpack over my humble eight year bc hobby (thanks for getting me started!), i’ve been impressed with how different the “menu” is each spring.
re: offsets sticker, me too
re: mr. bob perlmutter, might we simply refer to him as “king fun”?!?!
