Because of operations, I have not been skinning up here since the spring of 2017. I am four years older, and I’ve lost some fitness. So, the uphill slog is a grind. But it is worth the effort to be back on the snowy slopes, surrounded by old growth trees, awesome mountain vistas, and constant booming grouse.
There is still lots of snow here, above 4000 ft., but lower down it is starting to patch out, and part of the skin trip up is planning where to ski down.
Check back to the previous blog article and compare this view with the image from exactly two weeks ago.
Unless some new snow falls, it will become grimier

I find this blog a sometimes-useful reference for recalling the differences in the snowpack over the years. I didn’t think another report was worthy of a blog article — but maybe a comment would do. Last Tuesday I could skin up (and ski down) the main south-facing cruising slope of Mt. Strachan. Yesterday, May 18, exactly one week later, most of that section of the hill has melted out.
By skinning up on the east side of Mt. Strachan I was able to find continuous snow from the parking lot.
